It's completely normal to have loose skin after losing a lot of weight. Don't feel disheartened. Focus on feeling healthy and proud of your journey.

For me, resistance training helped a lot in toning up the underlying muscles, which made the skin look a bit tighter. Also, staying super hydrated and using firming lotions with good ingredients like retinoids helped a little. Don't expect miracles, but small improvements are possible!

I had some issues with skin irritation and even infections because of saggy skin after my weight loss. It's not just cosmetic, sometimes it can cause problems. Please consult a dermatologist or even a plastic surgeon to understand your options, including non-surgical ones.
