I'm 17 and about 155 lbs (yes ik it's awful.) Anyways, if I lose 50 pounds fast will I get loose skin? I lost 20 before and was 135 but gained it back. But I'm really worried about the loose skin.

When you lose weight fast there is no getting around loose skin, sorry. However there are some good news as well, since you're young your skin will tighten MUCH faster than if you were older. Also you should exfoliate and use a good body lotion daily to help keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

I've had this problem since I lost weight, and it is finally starting to get better, allthough it probably would have gotten better sooner if I'd worked out more. I also drink lots of water and take vitamin-c every day since it's supposed to help.

But really the only thing that will actually make a difference is a little bit of time, yup it sucks, but it could be a lot worse, like I said you're young! I wouldn't be too worried about it ;)
