Loose skin

Does anyone have like a lot of loose skin?! I keep telling myself that since I am only 26 and have only been this big for about 4 years I won't get any. I know everyone is different but that is honestly the one thing that is scaring me the most about this. I have like 120 lbs to loose. I plan on working out and all that but am just sooo nervous.

    I'm 28...I've lost 86 pounds and my skin isn't very bad. I'm still in the losing stage and was told that it may take a little while for it to tighten back up. I work out and strength train. My stomach

    I am 33. Had about 80 to loose. I am at 50 lb loss and I have zero loose skin.

    The great thing is at only 26, you have the best chances of your skin bouncing back:).
