A member asked:
If you lose weight and have excess skin can you work out and get it tighter to have the excess skin go away ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you lose a great deal of weight in a short time. The skin cannot adjust to this. If however you lose 1-2 lab per week the skin can adapt also. Go slowly and treat the body right
