So im 10 to 15 pounds or so from goal and because of back issues was not able to exercise while losing. I am thrilled with my loss around 70 do far but boy am i sagging everywhere. My boobs (sorry) are hanging so low my butt is saggy etc etc. i am not having more surgeries have had 4 major back surgeries. My question will exercise help now or is it too late? Cardio or weights? Im 51 had LapBand in Oct

I hate to tell you this, but if the skin is sagging then it's going to stay sagging for the most part. Even when you do exercise while losing there's often sagging skin. It really all boils down to age, genetics, and how much weight you lose.

This is why a lot of us look into surgery to have it removed. Myself included.

I think Missy is right, once it's sagging it's hard to reverse that. Exercise is important whether the skin will tighten up or not. Now that your able to do it you should definitely make that a part of your lifestyle. Everyone is so different, who knows, it may make just enough difference in your skin where your comfortable with the results. Good luck!

My doctor said you either will or will not have sagging skin. Please do not let this stop you from exercising. You will still do your body a lot of good.

I have heard the skin can tighten back a little, after a year or two and with exercise. Not sure if there's any truth to that, but I hope so.

never to late to exercise and do your body good.

so what to alittle saggy...you can do what you can with what you have, exercise and hope it tones/tightens it up OR you can have surgery.....

but what matters is your better health and you my dear have done that. this close to goal...how utterly terrific is that.

i have said it before, i will take some saggy on my legs/arms/tummy (my arms i could take flight i swear) and its okay w/me..better than being over 336+ again..
