As people start losing weight they may often find themselves with loose or sagging skin. Skin surgery may not always be an available option after losing weight. Here are some of my favorite secrets and tips for giving your skin the best chance at natural retraction — minimizing loose skin when possible. And, what to do with that loose skin that isn’t retracting and has lost its elasticity.
After watching the video blog, check out some of my favorite compression gear here: Reebok.com .

What about drinking water, eating fresh produce? Won’t that help?
Eating healthy is always important! Yes.
Thank you for this tip. I have SO MUCH loose skin and can’t afford surgery! I needed this!
Heidi, Is there anything specific we should look for with the viramin D oil? Also, any recommendations for compression gear for the area below the belly button? Thank you for all you do!
Were is the best place (store) to find these? And thanks for the info.

Thank you so much for this and other tips. It really was something I was wondering and didnt want to ask.
Thank you for the tip!! 🙂
Hi Heidi, I’m 250 pounds and my favorite thing to do is walk! Problem is the pain in my feet. I walk up to 6 miles a day and could walk more but the pain stops me. Can you recommend a good walking shoe? The burning and tiredness is slowing me down! Thank you!

Search on “Shoes” in the search box on the blog. Good article on finding good shoes.
After having 3 babies I found It Works ultimate body applicator! They have helped my post baby belly skin soo much! We have even had weight loss surgery patients have great success!
Thanks so much for sharing! Great job and very pro video! (The one note and feel free to delete my comment, because I don’t mean it negative- is that the music was too loud while you were talking and very distracting- I do videos myself and it’s a common thing I have to work on myself) Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback!
HI Heidi, I am 43 years old and have been going through peri menopause and eat really well My question is I am not able to loose any weight, not even one pound. I would like to now what can I do to loose the weight?
Teresa – I was in the same boat over a year ago and have lost over 100 lbs with rawfoodbootcamp.com. It’s extreme weight loss without the surgery. If you have over 100 to loose there may be some loose skin, but I would never go back to the way I was before. Good luck with your effort whatever route you choose.
