    Right now I'm about 6ft4 250lbs I want to get down to around 215lbs. Do I need to worry about having loose skin. I already have a lot of stretch marks I've been a little overweight since around middle school. I'm almost 24 now.

    If I might be looking at a problem with loose skin is their anything I can do now to prevent it? I'm not doing any crazy diet or anything I'm just working out a lot. I run , do cardio machines, and hit the weights. I'm mostly just worried about my stomach . That's where I packed on most of the extra weight

    If you exercise and lose the weight at a healthy rate of 3 pounds a week you will not have loose skin.

    I went from a size 18/20 to a size 7 and have no loos skin at all. I did weights 3 days a week and walked 5 days a week and it took a year to lose 80 pounds but no loose skin.

    That was a huge fear for me.
