Xtra skin!!

[LuxCars]

Hey my friend just lost a whole bunch of weight by watching his diet without much excercise, and now he has a bit of stomach flab.....a.k.a xtra skin.

whats the best way to get rid of it, ive heard about ab exercise such as sit-ups, but is that true?

or is there any cream, pills to do it. He wants it gone hopefully quickly so i thought id help him out by asking the professionals....a.k.a beyond members.:rofl:

Im 16 will it work???

If there's a lot of excess skin, surgery is the only way to get rid of it all.

i dont think he can afford the surgery, i think he tought of it as an option but said that it was roughly 6-10g's. and he does not want to pay that much right now.

[FiveFreshFish]

Surgery should be the last resort when he's tried all the other methods and can't get the desired results.

i told him to go to the gym and he said hes tried it and pushed himself really hard but hasnt seen much results, how long did you go the gym for and did your skin get tighter, and what muscle groups did you focus on? like did you do extra of anything?

If you gently stretch skin, it will grow.

If you take away the stretching - supporting it is even better - it will shrink.

if he wants to be patient, he can save 10grand

Skin eventually goes back to normal , his body should do it.. He needs to go to the gym and work out like normal , things wont come in a day... at least he will have a goal to work to.

my friend went from 240 to 160
he had quiet a bit of extra skin. took him about.. from september to like august to lose... but he didn't go to the gym as much as he did before... 3 times a week
turned into once a week when winter hit so it's all gone now!
tell him to wait

I heard that almost every skin cell in your body replaces itself every 6 months. If this is true, I bet it would only take a few of these 6 month periods to see an incredible amount of skin shrinkage.

shit doesnt happen overnight, tell him to be patient and have a proper training regiment, watch his diet and the skin should be back to normal in a few months if not weeks, depends on the body :)

[LuxCars]

aight, ill tell him to be patient, but i dont think he will be happy about that.

cool thanks guys, if anybody has any more info let me know and ill pass it on. Or any cheap surgeons....:thumbsup:

It's going to take months to tone the body, you have to remember it took months to gain the weight and it sounds like he has only been doing part of what he should had been doing when he lost the weight ..... if you have a lot of weight and don't exercise it's going to be extra skin which sorry is so grosssssss, so he needs to work hard on body toning !!!!!

He needs to do more toning at the gym as opposed to heavy lifting (Ie 180 pounds on an ab machine).

there are many creams he can use that can help. creams with coffee in them help to tighten up the skin, but this will by no means eliminate all the flab. My friend used "germaine de cappucuni" when she lost weight. These creams can be found in london drugs, shoppers, ect in the ladies cream isles.. haha.

Also breaking Vit E pills (Amber looking pills) helps your skin .. thats what pregos do , so I guess it should help with the skin tightening up
