Dealing with loose skin after weight loss?

[chickpea_recomp]

A few people I know swear by GHK-Cu for tightening. Results seem mixed but worth exploring if loose skin becomes an issue on your journey.

You look fantastic! Curious - did you have much loose skin after shedding all that?

High waisted bikinis save the day for me. Covers the loose skin around my middle so I can actually enjoy being in a bathing suit instead of worrying.

What approach worked best for you on the loose skin situation?

The aging and elasticity piece is the part of the skin conversation that gets underplayed. The rate of loss matters but so does where you're starting from elasticity-wise. At a certain age and pace you're going to see it regardless of what you do. Hydration and resistance training are the two things that actually help - everything else is mostly noise.

Amazing work! Did loose skin end up being an issue for you at all? I've still got a good amount to lose and I'm worried I might need surgery afterward that insurance won't touch.
