| Regarding the skin problem, working out will help that, as the muscles will make the skin tighten. I would recomend looking at the end and the second page of this thread for more information. Also check: I know you're gonna call me crazy but and Tighten Flabby Skin Started Atkins on 9/20/03 235-->185; 150 goal |

| Vernon, It's been my experience that it will tighten eventually, especially with exercise targetted to the area. For me (I'm a guy), my gut and chest were the largest repositories of fat. Initially, though I dropped a ton of weight, the areas where I was heaviest were noticably smaller, but I still had the skin and a thin layer of fat in those areas. So I worked especially hard on exercises that targetted my pectorals and abs. Lo and behold, a few months later, my "keg" has turned into a four pack. Just be patient and remember that just as we don't get fat overnight, we won't be thin and muscular overnight. LC since 8/11/2003 196 / 151 Me Goal met, going for the extra mile. |

| Geoffrey, Thanks alot for your feedback, just a note, my starting weight was 195 roughly 6 weeks ago and its 178 and just from the picture you added our body types were very similar. I hope to acheive the same kind of results as you. I am working out twice a week at the YMCA primarily stationary bicycle or basketball and 3 times a week at home with dumbells. Can you tell me hopw long you have been on low carb and what kind of regimen you follow as far as exercise goes! Thanks Much! |
