I am in the process of making life changes to improve my health. In doing this, I am losing weight along with my mom and a friend. My friend has lost 40 pounds!!!! but has a major "skin" flap on her belly. Is there anything I can do to keep that from happening?

I would say lose weight slowly and steadily, keep exercising, good nutrition/adequate protein intake...I do think rapid weight loss contributes to the pendulous abdomen you're talking about. Sometimes surgery is required to get rid of the excess skin: "panelectomy".

Hey,

I came across this article and if I remember right, many of the women on here have discussed how the hyaluranic acid is good for the skin.

Sorry I can't access the article for some reason, but in case it doesn't mention this, loose skin does gradually get tighter over time on its own, so it probably won't look as bad as it does at first forever. Body brushing will speed up the process Smile
