A Little Loose Skin - Can It Be Toned?

Hey all. I have lost 76 lbs. I don't have a ton of excess skin...but enough to be bothered. Most of it is on my tummy, the backs of my thighs, and my arms. Are there any toning/weight training tricks you have tried to get rid of it or reduce it??

Great question. I want to know as we'll.

I've lost 84 and have the same problem. Worried about looking horrid for a year after I lose the weight and weighting for skin removal. Also, the saggy soft skin under your neck.

As we all lose weight, yes, loose skin is a reality. However, you have to work at toning up. It will take time, but working out is a definite requirement...for everyone! If you don't want to go to a gym, there are many awesome video workouts out there. Any workout videos by Jillian Michaels are AWESOME! Kettlebell and medicine ball worksouts are highly effective. Yoga (which I think is the hardest workout ever) is also so very effective in building strength and toning. Stick with your workouts and gift yourself toned body. We all need to be doing weight bearing exercise to strengthen bone, build muscle, balance, and a clearer mind. It definitely doesn't happen over night. It is an ongoing process. JUST DO IT!
