Hi, I am 15 years old. This past year, I lost a total of 85 pounds. I was 255 now i am about 170. I lost the weight by eating healthy and exercising every every now and then. I am very happy with the results. The only problem is i have a lot of extra skin. On my arms, legs stomach, and my face. Its everywhere. What i want to know is since i am only 15, will the skin eventually go away or am i stuck like this until i am old enough to get surgery. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Alot of depends on genetics. At such a young age though your skin will naturally have great elasticity. Working out will do alot of good though. Try to engage as many different muscles as you can, and over time, some of it will firm up. maybe not all, maybe all. Jjust keep working at it.

And remember losing 1 to 2lbs a week is healthy but anymore is a bit to quick. Don't lose so much so quick that you shock your body.. you need to take it a step at a time so your body has a chance to adjust to your new weight.

Best of luck though and good for you.

There is a good chance your skin will eventually shrink back. Cause you are young and your skin should have good elasticity. Genetic also plays a big role here. And building up muscle mass to replace the volume of the lost fat will definitely help.

The reason you have the extra skin is because you lost the weight too fast. Just keep exercising and your skin should get firmer, it will take awhile tho.

I had a large weight loss too and no. it wont go away. I have been free of that wieght for 2 yrs and the skin hasnt gotten any firmer. (Depending on how much you have) But Im guessing atleast a loose handful) . . .
I tried toning and even my defintion didnt show, once I built muscle. But Guys can add lots more muscle than girls, you should try and bulk up. I know that sounds bad since you just lost weight (great job btw) but add some muscle mass, tone up as much as you can, and since you are young, maybe you can reshape your body enough to where youo will be more comfortable. Good Luck

the skin will eventualy firm up as you grow into it, sorry your too young for plastic surgery

a good idea for someone i knew with the same prob when he was 15, he lifted weight and firm up his skin

try running, swimming weight lifting. its all good
