Is it possible for a woman in her early 20’s lose 40 pounds without having that skin problem?
leloo asked:
I mean when the skin doesn’t come back and stays like a sort of extra skin. I gained weight because I was depressed now I am eating healthy and working out very very hard. Do you think I can get thin again without that skin problem?

Yes, a 20-year old has still has elastic and forgiving skin. As long as she loses the weight slowly and healthily, the skin should not sag.
A pound of fat equals 3,500 calories. To lose one pound a week you will need to expend 3,500 more calories than you eat that week, whether through increased activity or decreased eating or both.
Experts agree that to lose weight you need to exercise for at least 30 minutes at 60%-70% of your Max Heart Rate (MHR). A simple way to calculate MHR is 220 minus your age. So if you’re 45 years old, for example, your MHR would be 220-45=175. 60% of 175 is 105, and 70% of 175 is 122.5. So you should exercise daily for 30 minutes at a heart rate between 105 and 123.
You don’t need additional equipment—infomercial products like the Ab Lounger, Sauna Belt, etc. are all worthless gimmicks so don’t waste your money.
Eat breakfast, and eat five small meals per day instead of three big meals. If you don’t wake up ravenous, then you ate too much the day before. Stop eating at least two hours before you go to bed. Cut back on the foods you eat with high fat and high sugar content. Eat only single servings (read the label) with less than 3 grams trans fat and 3 grams sugars. Become familiar with websites like that contain good information on what to eat, including supplements.
Don’t consume alcohol—alcohol is nothing more than empty calories with no nutritional value. Some people will argue that alcohol has some health benefits when consumed in moderation—I’m not debating that—but we’re talking about weight loss here. Lay off the booze if you want to lose the belly.
Drink lots of water, then drink more. Not tea, not Gatorade, not milk. Water. If your urine isn’t almost clear, you need to drink more water.
yes, your age is definitely on your side. in your early twenties you still have enough elasticity in your skin. good luck to you, I’m glad your taking care of yourself!
