I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is something you can do or use while loosing weight for the extra skin, to tone or cellulite or stretch marks. I know most get tummy tucks or such but is there some creme or anything to help before goal? Please advise. I could spend thousands and get ripped off too wasily. Thanks!:faint:

I have always heard the best thing you can do is good ol' fashioned exercise. Check out the exercise thread, there are some people there who are doing fantastic who may be able to offer you some really good advice, especially Telly.

Skin is a big problem for me. I still feel very obese even though I am not and it's because of the extra skin. I am paying the price for losing as fast as I did w/o toning up.

I dont think so. Skin is not muscle, no amount of exercise is going to tone up your skin, although if your body is firm underneath it will look better.

Its dependent on factors like your age, where you carried your excess weight, and how much you had to lose, as well as how fast you lose it, those that have lost fast may find their skin does recover a bit over the following years.

It also depends a LOT on what you desire in terms of a "perfect" body too - what one person calls a bit of minor flabiness others consider something that requires surgery.
