    Default Will loose skin ever go away? Help!!!!!

    Hello!!!

    I'm 25 years old and weigh about 235lbs. I have been overweight nearly all my life. Do think with the combine of Green smoothie, Green Juice, Wheatgress, MSM, Organic Raw Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts, Seeds, 3 liter of water and 1 hour of weight training will help me reverse and tighten my loose skin on my arms and thighs? What should I do? I need help!!!

    hi there
    i think it will depends on how much loose skin you are talking about..i think doing a lot of weight training will help a lot,however its got to do more with what you eating then how much effort you putting at the gym.
    if you eat let say,a lot of sugar,you are waisting your time going to the gym.But if you sticking to a good diet such as raw foods,you should be able to do it.
    how tall are you?

    1 hour of weight training...a day?...a week?

    When I first went raw I lost 80 pounds in 6 months. I ate whatever I wanted as long as it was raw. I worked out at a gym about 20 hours a week...treadmill, bike, elliptical and weights. I am more than 20 years older than you, so my skin is not as elastic as yours.

    I had NO loose skin after the 80 pounds were gone!

    Some people can eat the finest 100% raw foods and exercise and it still never goes away.

    Mr Raw, That because they're are not exercising right or if they have loose skin that is not fat under the skin. then they can't get rid of it.
    Most people 40+ have a hard time get rid of loose skin.

    Fat under the skin= Can be tighten up. Just shrink fat under skin.
    Loose skin= Can be tighten up some, but will take longer. Might need surgery.

    Generally, after a certain age I don't think that loose skin goes - of course it depends how much there is too. It doesn't matter though. The main concern should be health :)
