hi: first of all congratulations on losing 60 pounds! that's awesome! now on to your problem. loose skin with massive weight loss is not uncommon. losing it over 5 to 6 months is very healthy. you did a great job. the best way to tighten up is to weight/strength train. yep start making more muscles. weight training will tighten and tone up your body in a way that cardio simply won't be able to. two to three times a week for 30 minute sessions add in some weight training. there are many ways you can do this without a gym or a trainer. just check out youtube and you'll find a ton of exercises. you can safely weight train and tone with just about anything in your house. pilates will also help you to tighten up and tone as well if you want to start taking a class. you should start noticing results within a month or two if you are consistent. just remember to eat/drink lean protein at least 30 minutes post workout to really optimize on muscle building. good luck!
i have lost about 60 pounds and my skin seems loose. i've been walking and swimming. what can i do? . the skin on my arms and upper leg look funny when i stand or raise my arms. it looks like crepe paper and is very loose. i lost the weight over 5 to 6 months so i thought it would he a healthy schedule. i walk about 2 miles every other day and swim for an hour 3 days a week. i've been using small weights too for wake up exercises.
