Strech Marks and sagging skin

CGT · 08-17-2009, 07:02 PM

How has your skin reacted to the rapid weight loss. Has anyone used any creams or lotions to prevent strech marks and sagging skin.

I don't have a huge amount of weight to lose but I am using virgin coconut oil.. both in my diet and directly on my skin. It seems to make my skin soft and firm and my cellulite has improved.

Hello and a hearty

to the group.

I would suggest bringing your question over to the main August thread. You are more likely to get a lot of responses there. Other than the recipe threads, the main thread for the month is where most people go first. .

Amazing August with Medi Weight Loss

Also, the MediWeightLoss encourages exercise throughout the program and afterwards as well. Exercise minimizes any problems you may encounter unless you have 100s of pounds to lose.

Like Jo said, Medi reccomends exercise with the plan to help. However I do have a lot of loose skin but I am noticing changes with the exercise. Time will take care of it or like Jerry is doing he is getting a tummy tuck in the very near future to help with his losses.

As soon as I lose my weight I'm getting everything lifted and tucked. You name it, I'll tuck it. Therefore, the rapid weight loss doesn't bother me in the least

I'm really REALLY concerned about this... I guess I should ask the clinic when I go tomorrow?

Please bring this concern over to the main October thread for more responses. And to be perfectly honest, this should not be an overriding concern UNLESS you are miserably out of shape. Following the plan with the recommended exercise should take care of any issues...but for your own peace of mind, go ahead and ask them.

Outstanding October with Medi Weight Loss
