FYI Fitness
Hi! I recently lost 50lbs. What can I do about the saggy skin that I now have on my stomach, arms, legs, etc? What can I do to make my breasts perky, if that's possible? And what can I do about the stretch marks? They're embarrassing with them being on my stomach and arms.

Thanks much. Hope you're having a fun with your new job.

THANKS SO MUCH! Sorry for taking so long to get back to everyone :( First congrats on the weight loss!

It sounds like you lost the weight pretty rapidly, if you have the saggy skin and stretch marks. My suggestion would be to take a more direct approach with weight training and make cardio a 2x/wk MAX! It’s time to tone and let your skin catch up to your weight loss. Make strength gains and nutrition your main focus: fruits, veggies, protein, new recipes :) have fun with it!

Also, I would suggest pure cocoa butter (not drug store brand, ones you find at trader joes, whole foods, other specialty lotion stores) there is some evidence pure cocoa butter and vitamin E and aloe can reduce the appearance of stretch marks over time. GOOD LUCK!
