Hi everyone.
I’m starting my weight loss journey and I’d really appreciate hearing some real experiences. I started gaining weight around age 15 due to depression. I’m 20 now and currently weigh 145 kg (about 320 lbs).
Before that period of my life I was actually very active – I competed in school sports competitions, went to the gym, and generally lived a really active lifestyle. Unfortunately my mental health got very bad and all of that slowly disappeared.
The good news is that I’m finally doing much better mentally, and I’ve decided to seriously commit to losing weight and taking care of myself again. One thing that worries me a lot is loose skin.
I know that having a healthy weight and a normal BMI is much more important than worrying about loose skin, but it’s honestly the one thing that keeps bothering me when I think about this journey.
For context: Age: 20 Height: 178 cm (about 5'10") Weight: 145 kg (320 lbs)
I gained most of the weight over the last ~5 years. I would really appreciate hearing from people who were in a similar situation (significant weight gain in late teens / early 20s).
How much loose skin did you have after losing weight? Did your skin tighten over time? Is there anything you did that helped?
Thank you so much in advance for sharing your experiences. It would mean a lot to me.
