Jeff decides which posts are deleted, not op. You are welcone to report or ignore a thread if you have issues with it.

OP here. Haven’t posted since my original post. “No drugs” was not a dig, just part of the info. Also, I’m 5’6” and walk 3 miles a day.

Just chiming in to say that I've never heard this word before!

She’s pointing it out bc it is relevant and losing it via drugs does cause changes to your skin, your body comp changes and you do lose muscle mass so skin sags more. You guys need to do your research!!! The info is already out there.
And get over your insecurities. No one is judging you for using the drugs. Please don’t judge others who choose not to!

YOU are certainly judging. It's so obvious. Poor little harpy sad that her fat friend is skinny now.

Wrong.
This is an issue with all weightloss.

You are the one in need of research. Google is right there!

Not necessarily true. I'm a PP and I get monthly InBody scans that show I've maintained my muscle mass. It's a function of how quickly you lose - wether drugs or not - and how much you work on strength. OP hasn't shared how tall she is (30 lbs on someone 5'10" is different than 30 lbs at 5'2") or what her exercise program is so hard to know how the weight loss will affect her.

Thank you for actually providing data (your own) to support what you're saying instead of just being an ass like the PP before you.

But it's not relevant which is why "we crawled out of the woodwork." I am not judging her for losing weight without drugs. I just don't think it's relevant at all. Weight loss is what causes loose skin and it has nothing to do with drugs. How fast you lose the weight, I'll give you that, maybe. Some people lose weight faster after surgery or drugs which impact your skin. But surgery or drugs do not cause your skin to sag on its own any more than any other weight loss.

So next time you try to be vile, please support your asinine claims. She did not need to include the dig about drugs other than to make herself look better than those of us who needed the drugs to lose weight.

Do drugs give you an apron tummy?

No they do not. Significant weight loss does regardless of drugs.

Some of it depends on how much weight was carried in the belly and how old you are and the condition of your skin but also the speed of weight loss makes a difference. Fast loss via surgery and for some folks drugs is more likely to cause loose skin but some loose skin is likely after slower loss if the loss is very substantial.

Is this your hunch or did you actually read a study that supports this claim?

what part of the PP's comment do you think is controversial?

Not true, there’s no way of knowing if you will and as you can see from previous posters there’s a good chance you’ll have no issues!
I will agree no matter what the benefits of losing the weight are beyond any drawbacks. Good luck!! At 47 I’m going from 180 to 145 (peak fitness weight at 32) so I share your fears!!

Same story. Not twins but multiple pregnancies and the fast increase/decrease in size has left me with extra skin despite my best efforts.
