Loose Skin From Weight Loss?

Hey guys, as the emails pour in to ReshapetheNation.com, I want to make sure that some of the very important questions get answered that some of you have!  Chris Powell who helped David Smith lose 400lbs saw David go through the whole process, beginning to end.. When TLC aired the 650lb Virgin, questions about the aspects of Davids weight loss, and extent of it, got asked. When it airs across the world, some of the same questions keep coming up, here’s one of them:

Hi! I have a couple questions regarding weight and flab(excess skin).
A little background. I started out at 530/lbs (lots of middle body
fat) and I am now 461 (thank you) and I have noticed that although my
clothes are becoming a bit looser, my belly apron is actually starting
to sag (no longer as tight & high as it was) I am not dropping in
pounds that quickly. Can you please tell me how did you separate the
weight of the excess skin and David’s actual weight loss? Would
measurements alone be a better tool to use instead of scales at this
point in my journey? Thank you for your time and devotion

I submitted this question to Chris, and here is his response:

Hi there!

First and foremost, congratulations on your success so far!!  You bring up a very important question. You can expect to be left with approximately 20-35lbs of excess skin when your transformation is complete. David had 32lbs of skin removed! As you lose weight I always prefer to use both measurements AND weight as a gauge. 
They will both show the changes, but you can definitely subtract a good 20-35 lbs for when the skin is removed!

Keep up the amazing work!

Chris

I hope this answers anyone who has wondered the same thing, good luck to you guys! I know it’s hard and it takes a lot of work, but you can do it, keep forging ahead!

1. I’ve recently lose about 50lbs and I now I have lose skin on my stomach. It’s not excessive but, if I sit down or slouch, it rolls up and looks like belly fat. What can I do to tighten the skin up?
