weight loss.... and my new problem.

the guy was saying he was at 250 range ...got down to 190 i think ..and had some flabby skin ... i thought by doing sit ups and dips you could tighten up the flabby skin ..

dude comes on acting like murdock like he's gonna call in a fire patrol

 

I make no threats i just correct people, but the correction process is sometimes very very hard on those people who make the mistakes.

You can only tone muscle tissue

Not fatty tissue, they are two different things..

Fact...

Fat cannot be lost on your abdominal area, just because you do sit ups. You cannot specifically target where you want to loose weight..you cannot choose.

It is people like you who bring down this area of Eastside, with very bad advice. Here's some words of wisdom for the people, if you are only 95% sure of what you are about to say is right..

"Do not post it"

I only post if i am 100% sure, i am right.

That's why i am always right..

And thats why i am back..!

"Now somebody quote my post, and tell this mother ****er that "i am a 190 pound", pound for pound number 1 bad ass going down in the history of eastside"

Y'all better know your role...

 

why are you writeing in caps ..who you trying to impress? your pulling rank with a clear newbie when it comes to working out ..congradulations you pulled rank ..somebody get this jack ass a reef and a trophy ..my what we'd do without him

 

your a sad sad sad woman a bored lonely house wife

 

Well if he has excess skin that cannot be 'tightened'. Really, it can only be removed or filled in. I never had that problem before, but if common sense serves me here then those options are really the only viable ones, unless stretched skin heals over time.

 

yeah i just thought it might work .. that dude is a jack ass ..

1. Skin is incredibly elastic. Your skin can stretch and expand or tighten and retract to a great degree. Look at what women go through during pregnancy. Some women do experience stretch marks after pregnancy, but obviously skin is remarkably elastic.

2. Elasticity of skin depends on both genetics and environment/lifestyle. Wrinkling and loss of elasticity is partly the consequence of aging (genetic factors) and also a result of environmental factors such as oxidative stress, excessive sun exposure, and nutritional deficiency. The environmental parts you can fix, the genetics and age part, you cannot. Advice: Get moving and change the things you have control over... Be realistic and don't worry about those things you don't have control over.

3. How much your skin returns to its former tautness depends partly on age. The older you get, the more an extremely large weight loss can leave loose skin that will not return to normal.

4. How long you carry extra weight may influence how much the skin will become taut after the weight loss: For example, compare a 9 month pregnancy with 9 years carrying 100 excess pounds.

5. How much weight was carried has a lot to do with how much the skin will resume a tight appearance. Your skin can only be stretched so much and be expected to "snap back" one hundred percent. With extreme obesity, the probability of there still being loose skin after weight loss is higher.

6. How fast the weight was gained also has a lot to do with how much the skin will resume a tight appearance. Your skin can only be stretched so quickly and be expected to "snap back."

7. How fast weight is lost also has a lot to do with how much the skin will tighten up. Rapid weight loss doesn't allow the skin time to slowly resume to normal. (This is yet another reason to lose fat slowly; 1-2 pounds per week, 3 pounds at the most if you have a lot of weight to lose, and even then, only if you are measuring body fat and you're certain it's fat you're losing, not lean tissue).

10. Nutrition has a lot to do with the health of your skin. Essential fatty acids in particular are very valuable for many reasons, and one of them is for the health of your skin. It would be worth taking an EFA supplement such as fish oil, flax oil or an oil blend like Udo's choice. Antioxidants are also very important, so be sure to consume copious amounts of a variety of vegetables and fruits. Also pay very close attention to hydration. Drink approximately a gallon of water a day or a minimum of half your body weight in ounces. (By the way, whey protein is high in a powerful antioxidant called glutathione).

11. Exercise has a lot to do with how your skin appears after you lose body fat. If you use very low calorie diets, you are likely to lose lean body mass, and this is going to exacerbate the loose, hanging skin appearance. On the other hand, if you are exercising regularly and increasing lean body mass with weight training, you will be more likely to minimize the appearance of loose skin.

13. Give your skin time. Your skin will definitely get tighter as your body fat gets lower. I've seen and heard of many cases where the skin gradually tightened up, at least partially, after a one or two year period where the weight loss was maintained and exercise continued.
