This subreddit was a huge help in my weight loss journey. Thankfully, I didn't have enough weight to lose to cause loose skin, but I often read about it here. My wife had some loose skin after quickly losing weight after having our first child, and will probably definitely have more since she recently had our second child. She's ready to start losing weight slowly and responsibly while still breastfeeding instead of rushing through it this time without being able to produce as much milk.
My wife is 32, 5'1" and was 175 pounds as of a few days ago. She was 120 when she got pregnant with our first child, 160 when she gave birth, and dropped down to 110 in less than a year, which definitely contributed to her loose skin before. We waited 10 years to have our second child, and she started this pregnancy at 160 after having slowly gained weight in the last 5 years, and was 200 right before our second child was born. She left the hospital at 182, 5 weeks ago.
Has anyone in this subreddit intentionally lost a large amount of weight slowly or broken it up into sections where you intentionally lose weight for a period, then maintained weight for 6 months or more to minimize loose skin? Most people want to lose weight quickly and/or steadily, so I don't expect a lot of answers. She's prepared to go slowly or take a break if that might help reduce the loose skin. She knows to drink lots of water and count her calories, and skin elasticity is largely genetic. Losing the weight isn't the problem, just trying to reduce the loose skin is her main concern. Thanks!
