A member asked:
How long is too long to be overweight before the skin loses its elasticity? i hear people say the amount of time youve been overweight affects whether youll have loose skin, but is being overweight for about a year okay?

If you only lose a moderate amount of weight the loose skin will usually eventually retract. However very marked weight loss will inevitably result in loose skin. In your case I would like to know what amount of weight you're referring to as,if it's only a moderate amount, you are less apt to have very loose skin especially after only one year.
