Loose Skin After Weight Loss!?

Question
Over the last year I've gone from 250 to 175 lbs which has left disgusting loose skin which exercise is not helping. My main areas of trouble are my upper thighs and lower abs. I call my leg skin my "pantyhose skin" as I can start at my ankle and gradually pull it up and it "collects" at the top of my leg *GROSS* Because of this and my lower belly skin I am stuck in a 14/16 pants but they are big everywhere else..... I KNOW I could fit in a 12 if not for these issues. If I were rich I'd head off to surgery, but I'm not, so what do I do? Anyone ever fix this problem effectively?

Amanda-

I have the same prob form major weight loss and I wont lie the only thing you can do really is wait give it time. Some of it may tighten up, moreso if your skin is young and very plyable but largely if the skin was stretched a lot its something you will have to live with or get surgery with. Me I have opted to live with it and simple be happy I look so much better and lots weight.

Other things that help is making sure you sty hydrated and get enough fats in your diet to keep the skin supple and healthy.
