A member asked:
If i lose weight, i'll have thinner skin. doesn't that make it more likely to get wrinkles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: That's the worst excuse for not dieting that i've ever heard. Your skin doesn't get thinner when you lose weight, the fat layer underneath it does. And even if it did, the health benefits of losing excess weight far exceed any conceivable cosmetic concerns.
