that happens to older people who lose weight really fast. you are young and still have elasticity in your skin. just take it slow and don't worry...

People only get hangin skin if they've bin on a diet and lost a ton of weight in a small amount of time.its less likely to happen if you are younger, and if you do exercise.my friend was anorexic and she lost weight but but she had saggy skin cos she lost so much and she never did exercise.Hope that helps and hope you lose the weight you're wantin to!aMAL

In order for you to have the excess skin you need to have lost a huge amount of weight in a short amount of time. This usualy happens to people who recieve the gastric bypass. You are young so the skin has more elasticity to it. You shouldn't have a problem with that. A tip though...Drink a lot of skim milk. That helps with the shrinking of the skin...Hope I helped

That doesn't happen all the time to everyone. That usually happens if you lose alot of weight fast and on a diet. Because when you exercise you tighten your skin too And if you lose your weight steadily then your body can adjust to it better. So i dont think it'll happen to you if u follow that.
