Extra Skin After Weight Loss?
I weighed between 300-310lbs (not sure cause I didn't want to step on a scale anymore until I saw results) 4 months later I now currently weigh 262lbs, and I did this by weightlifting and basically no cardio at all. Will I have extra skin when I get down to 200lbs? oh btw I'm 5'10 23 years old

Yes. When people gain weight, their skin stretches and it stays that way even when you lose weight. Depending on how much you weighed before and how much you've lost depicts the amount of skin flap left over. But building muscle and doing weight lifting AND cardio will increase muscle size which will decrease the amount of skin left over.

well you are quite young and you are using exercise to lose weight so even if you do it wont be much and should return to normal after a while but you can make sure you moisturise and stay hydrated right now to help things. well done on the loss by the way
