I think it should be fine, you are still young. Its better to be healthy than overweight I think and its time for a change. I know that Oprah Winfrey she was at her highest of 237 and reach 160 and didn't have loose skin, When she went on something called Opti-fast. So lets hope for the best.



Good luck on you fast.

"elderly persons"... well, I will find out soon if I do any more fasting, which I am sure I will, but bear in mind that when Shelton wrote that people's diet and life expectancy was very different http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005148.html
so "elderly" to Shelton may have been someone aged 40 or 50. Goodness knows how that relates to current day people.

Having said that, there are articles out there that argue that loose skin will tighten up on weight loss, for example http://www.bodyfatguide.com/LooseSkin.htm
- so I guess there's only one way to find out.

I have noticed some loose skin as I fasted, but I took a break from it, to see if it tightens up. It seems to have.

There are other things that help as well, such as dry skin brushing, and cocoa butter.

Please let us know how your stretch marks look after you complete your fast. Are you fasting to hunger?
