1. Avoid losing weight too fast (2 to 4 lbs/week) 2. Everything you put in your mouth counts. Include antioxidants, collagen, proteins, vitamin C rich foods 3. Treat your skin well- exfoliate, dry brush, wet brush, massage 4. Moisturize (no hydroxys), good oils help best. No sulfates or harsh chemicals 5. Exercise- cardio and weight training 6. Hydrate!! Drink more water (coconut water is great as well) **I personally wouldn’t drink water before meals and don’t usually drink much during meals either because it dilutes stomach acid which helps digestion. Age, body type and genetics play a huge part in individual results but these tips will definitely help.

[@gabbyf1152]

Thank you...I came here looking for you😂

Upon researching, I understood that I should take it slowly as my goal is to loose weight and take care of my skin. It took me 14 months to reach my goal. I lost 66.1387 pounds and I do not have loose skin. During my journey, I consumed a lot water and vegtables.

[@MoistNasa]

I’m losing weight for my health! I’m currently 60 pounds down but I’m about halfway there! I got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 12/21/18 and lost my ability to walk. MS took away the strength in the lower half of my body and I remember sitting in a wheelchair at 25 thinking to myself that if I was 100 pounds lighter or had more muscle in my legs that maybe I wouldn’t be in this wheelchair. Or using a walker. So when I got released from physical therapy and was 90% better in June 2019, I wasn’t gonna let this opportunity pass me by so I started going to the gym 5 days a week and eating healthy. I’m having a relapse currently so I’m down for the count again but I won’t let it keep me down! I WILL lose this weight!

[@StormyAlexandraPerez]

You can do it. You have it in you! Let us know how it goes.

[@ritarai2363]

Awai Ebi I was diagnosed at 25 as well! Your post is inspiring to all! I am trying to get back into working out and have to remind myself that my current behavior makes all aspects of my life worse, especially the MS. You’ll be back to it soon. Your comment shows your strength and I am going to restart today.

[@MoistNasa]

Rye Ree so proud of you! Funny enough I was actually diagnosed at 24, the day before my 25th birthday 🤣 if a gym is too much right now (like it is for me) you can also do yoga. There is a book called yoga for MS and videos on KZbin to help you get started. We owe it to our bodies to do everything we can to fight this disease. Medicine and doctors can only do so much. I want to know that when I have a relapse that I did everything I could in my power to prepare for it. Good luck to you!!!

[@ritarai2363]

@@MoistNasa That is so true. Thise are the things that I have let go, the truth that so much of our health is in our own hands. Hope your relapse is done soon so you can get back to killing it. Thanks for the reccomendations. Will look into youtube yoga for sure!

[@MoistNasa]

Rye Ree thanks girl! I tried going back to the gym a couple nights ago and paid the price for it 🤣 just always remember that weight loss or living a healthy lifestyle isn’t about impressing anyone or looking good or fitting into a piece of clothing; it’s about being prepared for when life happens and things go wrong.

[@Kursinn]

I’ve gone from 475 pounds to 350. It’s so weird still being a large person but with loose skin now. I’ll admit I’ve been nervous to do intense workouts but I think it’s time to start trying to tone more. This was very helpful thank you.

[@comoelitamelendez8467]

It truly is especially as a short person when even I was skinny I felt fat because I was short with a more muscular build so even if i was like 100lbs I would look fatter than the taller irl who actually weighed 30 to even 40 pounds more. And the taller person was seen as more desirable than me...dealt with a lot of self esteem issues because of that and even to this day. Because it's like I work out harder but never get acknowledged for it...trying to do better caring less what others think. The excess fat doesn't make things easier but currently doing INSANITY because I got the best results with that plus walking 10k steps daily and eating LESS sugar, fat and carbs. I don't say NO but will say LESS because at the end of the day, your healthy food changes need to be sustainable as I am learning from a fitness trainer. :)

[@michellekalski8823]

Fasting also helps tighten and help skin rebound through the process of autophagy where cells eat up excess proteins.

[@sheready4786]

Wow really? I'll have to research this. Thanks for sharing.

[@shaistanooreen5436]

This is tested by me in a month of fasting i.e. Ramadan.

[@angelicearthling]

@@shaistanooreen5436 the type of fasting that Muslims do during Ramadan is not Intermittent fasting and will not cause autophagy.

[@keepdancingmaria]

@@angelicearthling Well, It can be, but it often isn't.

[@keepdancingmaria]

Autophagy and Autology, both processes help with the excess proteins we call loose skin, and both are helped to be set in motion by proper fasting. Fasting is a lot of different ways of eating/not eating (juice fasting for instance, won't set autophagy in motion, although it does many other nice things.) So you have to investigate the different ways to fast so you aren't defeating yourself. Dr Mindy Pelz has some great videos on this topic.

Hi there wondering how long were you at your heaviest? I ask this to see how much I have work at preventing the skin from remaining stretched during my weight loss. I have, thank God, decided to lose it slowly and methodically. So it would help to know the time frame in which skin on average can no longer bounce back.

[@dessysix6]

I was overweight a lot of my life. At 15 I decided to lose weight. Made it to 170 from 220 at the age of 17. At 18, I got hit by a car while riding my back. I went from riding my bike 6 miles daily to none at all. Got really depressed and started eating bad with no exercise. I suffered a concussion. From the age of 18-20 I gained just about 100 pounds. I gained all my weight back PLUS 50 pounds. I turned 21 and decided I needed a change. This past almost year I’ve lost 30 pounds!! I’m at 220 again and I’m turning 22 in June. This WILL be the last time I fight this battle. I will succeed one day. But I’m tryna take it slow. I will get there. Thank you for the loose skin advice!!

I’ve lost 79 pounds since I was 14. I did it on and off up until I was 17, and that’s when I officially started to drop and keep it off. I started at 230 and I’m now at 151. My goal weight has always been 150, and it’s surreal to finally be here. As much as I wanted it to happen instantly, I’m happy I’ve been taking it slow. I have a lot of extra skin, but I’m young and I really look forward to keeping my current lifestyle and pushing myself further (in a healthy way!) on top of its. I never thought I’d get this far, but I feel so good. I have a lot of time to tighten my skin since I’m young and working out 5 days a week, and I shouldn’t be discouraged by it. It’s a sign I worked incredibly hard to get where I am now and I will be proud of myself for that. I’d rather have the extra skin and feel great instead of having the extra weight and being in constant physical pain like I was.

I am 51. Menopausal, & in a wheelchair. For me, three pounds a month is my goal. I do 2000 steps on a seated cross trainer 4 to 5 days a week, depending on my schedule. Also strength training / stretch bands / adaptive yoga, three times a week. I have used a wheelchair & crutches since birth. I am five ft. tall & was a well muscled size 9/10 at my most in shape. Which for me meant a strong healthy body. I had a severe fall two years ago. Causing muscle / nerve damage. Recovery was long. I was unable to exercise / move for a good portion of a year. I came out of the hospital a size 18. I am now a size 15, or a half size. Slow, & steady wins my race. I am not capable of eating, or burning. The amount of calories someone who walks, is. A byproduct of this slowed down process so far, has been no lose skin. Thumbnail is me, June of 2019. Remember to keep hydrated. Unsweetened tea, flavored seltzer, or water. Don't Drink your calories. Single biggest contribution to my weight loss. In the very beginning. I also limit salt, sugar, & animal fat. Eat a ton of veges, legumes, / unsalted seeds & nuts. avocados / salads. A small amount of whole grains. Lean meat / cheese & bread twice a month. Talk to your Dr. certainly. That said. Unless there is an immediate medical need for rapid weight loss. Starting out slowly. Even if you have 100 pounds to lose. Is better for a healthy, sustained result. You cannot change your habits quickly, or all at once. Small changes can lead to big results. Without leaving you overwhelmed. Stress affects your metabolism. As does alcohol. Above all, move. Increase duration & intensity over time. As your body gets stronger. Also switch it up once in a while. Dance, swim.

I've been watching your videos since about 2010. You are truly an inspiring woman! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. I've lost 135.6 over the last 15 month. I was diagnosed with Lupus then soon after type 2 diabetes came along. I was placed on a CPAP, I couldn't breathe, my breathing stopped 78 times per night based on a sleep study, I became incontinent, couldn't walk more than a few minutes, couldn't dress myself. I was literally crushing myself alive, my bones and organs couldn't take the heaviness. So, I started to refuse the steroid injections, I weaned off 8 other of the plethora of medications I was prescribed. Yet even seeing my suffering staring her in the face as I grew more I'll with by each visit, my Doctor fought me on stopping these meds that were seriously poisoning my body. Then ultimately she had to finally agree with me as I developed some heart concerns. These were some severe side effects.. I just knew I was at deaths door. Yet, considering that this weight was gained throughout a span of a 16 month period approx. 3 years ago, the weight seems to be falling off as quickly as it was gained. I've not been able to exercise effectively until just a few weeks ago and I think this is why the redundant skin seems relentless. I just keep telling myself I didn't make it this far just to make it this far! Currently with dry brushing, hydration, butter rubs, IMF/autophagy, collagen, and eating an anti inflammatory diet I'm hoping I can overcome. I realize that this is actually a small obstacle. From 352lbs down to 216lbs as off today 🙌 Praise God! I'm hopeful now to be able to stick around to get to grow up my youngest child and prepare her for life....I am SO very grateful for life! #PressOn

I slowly added a video but no gyms, exercise equipment and I still lost 72 lbs. Now I scrolled and saw this clip, I will listen, I don't want sagging skin! It's a difference between an Excuse and a Reason. I still have a gut at 219, can't see my best friend unless I look into the mirror chin to chest. Ok Warriors make your jokes, ha ha. But extension of neck yes, chin to chest ...No, not yet. My goal is to go past 💯 lbs till the point I have small waist line, and get to about a 36- 34 inch waist! Next Spring or Summer if gyms are open and if I'm strong enough to do the exercises, and shrink skin I will be a show nuff head turner! So if she lost 💯 lbs, I lost 72-73 ish in six months & 3 weeks remember...It's a difference between an Excuse vs a Reason.

I couldn't be with a woman with lots of loose skin and I am one of the least picky guys you'll ever meet. Something about smooth tight skin even if that skin is aged some is a must have. That being said being fat is unhealthy and really we should be warning people before they gain weight so they will know the consequences of gaining to much.

[@brock3805]

@@lazygam3r183 I very much agree with your last sentiment about being warned early in life about weight troubles and I wish with all of my heart that somebody would have sat me down and loved me enough early in life to set me straight but life isn't always perfect. I am currently down 97 pounds out of the total of 130 I would like to lose and I have done this mostly through working a landscaping job 70+ hours a week and eating very healthy. I have become addicted to changing my life's circumstance and because of that I have been saving every penny for potential skin removal surgery and have amassed over $30,000 for full body skin removal but as I am nearing the end of my journey I can see I will more than likely need none of it. I currently have no hanging skin at all and if anything I may need a light tummy tuck at the end but I am confident that I can build up enough muscle in that area to negate any loose skin. Knowing I weighed enough to likely suffer from loose skin scared me enough to not start my weight loss journey for years and it has turned out to be not an issue at all, besides if it is an issue you can have surgery and fix it with relatively minor scarring depending on the severity. I am tall and get a good amount of attention from ladies now at my current weight and I can 100% say that a little loose skin is not a deal breaker for me. Although I agree tight skin is attractive, if a woman has a little hanging skin on her belly or thighs it is 100x more preferable to me than her being obese. I have learned that you cant let things like loose skin stop you from your weight loss journey because so much of the issue is simply in your head and I can confirm it is so so worth it towards the end, I cant imagine how I will feel stepping on that scale and seeing 185 no matter how much loose skin I have. Don't let it stop you my friend, good luck.

[@13579hee]

@@lazygam3r183 I agree with you 100%. People will always encourage individuals to lose weight and not worry about the loose skin which is nearly impossible. Obviously being Fit with loose skin is much healthier than being overweight ... however like you said most of us are losing weight so that we can be more visually appealing to people. Most of us have gone our entire life being deemed unattractive by most because we were bigger and it is heartbreaking to put all that waiting to end up still being unattractive. It's like getting to the end of your goal and still being disappointed. I'm about to start a weight-loss journey and if I'm being honest with myself, while I am concerned about my health, my main goal is to be fit so that I can be seen as attractive by other people. Some people may see that shallow but it's only human to want to be wanted. My fear about loose skin has always been whats held me back. It's not an "excuse", it's a justified disappointment with me knowing that I will still be displeased with the final result. Me knowing that is the reason why I cannot support the idea of allowing children to be bigger. Most people who are fat adults have been fat since childhood and at some point will ultimately wish that they were fit. People need to keep their children fit and healthy.

I lost 62 pounds in 2019, 60 more pounds to go! I’ve been exfoliating myself for years since teen days, people still think I’m a teen lol Palmer’s coco butter and lotion 🧴 is also great to use during your weight loss journey 💕 weight training and losing weight slowly is very important 👍🏻

This is the 2nd time I've seen this post and wrote notes, now at age 60, It's past time to implement these into a plant-based lifestyle. As soon as I eat the morgue/freezer of meat, I don't want to through them away, food is too costly, integrate them well into awesome nutrition. Thanks for sharing Dr. Nina!! 😁🌈🥑🍅🥦

I’m trying to lose about 35-40 pounds and was super nervous about loose skin during/after I lose the weight, but turns out I’m doing just about everything I can to prevent it! Thank you so much 😊

I’ve been using a handheld massager on my stomach with ginger oil, rosehip oil and coconut oil to heal and prevent stretch marks and it has helped so much

[@blueskinneyjeans]

I’m glad I came across this video! I never knew you could get rid of the loose skin after loosing weight just by taking it slower and building muscle. Very helpful! I saved your video to help guide me during my weight loss journey

I’m so glad I came across you! I totally struggle with bat wings! I’m 65 and I’ve found lighter weights with more reps has helped a bit.

I really love organic coconut oil, jojoba oil, and berts bees cocoa and cupuacu butters lotion to moisturize my body. ❤ I have lost my first 50lbs and I am so happy. I still have a way to go but we're going to get there.

Thank you for all this love and encouragement. I'm 61 and started my weight loss 4 months ago. I was 265 now I'm down 35lbs. I'm concerned about the extra skin and especially my neck. I want to get married again (been divorced for 7 yrs and it was not a good marriage). I've been heavy for about 50 yrs. I feel better than I have in a long time. I want to lose at least 30 more lbs and enjoy life.

I love how she is being real with the topic.

[@FunkyBruja]

I love your content. Can you please do a video on keeping your skin hydrated and moisturized WITHOUT products containing chemicals and cancer-causing ingredients. Thank you so much in advance.

“Your journey won’t be like anyone else’s” I cannot tell you how much I needed to hear that statement .

[@VeeWiz-knowledgeoflife907]

Thank you sis after losing weight from a c section four years ago my stomach still has extra skin! I’m a massage therapist so I’m informed about how skin works but this was by far the best info I’ve gotten to help my journey to getting back in shape❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾

[@theresafernando9882]

Yes definitely genetics is huge. My friend lost more weight than I did (60 lbs) and doesn’t have any loose skin. While I on the other hand have tons and only lost 30. She is also 6 years older than me. No fair. 😩
