/fit/, I need some advice, I used to be overweight for a long time and I lost 115 pounds due to working all the time and restricting my diet. My problem is that my skin elasticity just isn't what it is. If I wanted to try and tone it should I primarily work on cardio workouts and stick to a low fat diet or should I throw some strength training/calisthenics into the mix as well?

I heard squats tighten up your skin.

not enough details faggot

were you just overweight? or were you obese? putting my money on obese. how about you give us more details on height, weight, age, what you do for work, what kinds of workouts are available to you.

by "restricting your diet" were you just dieting? or were you bulimic and or anorexic?

When losing weight how many pounds a week did you lose?

If you're young enough then the skin will become normal after some time. If not, your only cure is to gain weight.

k i'm 5'10 i weigh 174 now. I worked at a fine dining restaurant so I access to healthy foods. I worked for 10 hours a day. I was 19 then. Now most workouts are available to me. I have a gym at my college that I can use. I lost maybe 4 pounds a week actually. I don't really know what I was doing I just ate a lot more salads. One thing i've noticed that since I lost the weight my hair has thinned out a lot as well. For the most part i'm just trying to be in shape and do it in a healthy way.

You probably ate too little, which results in hair loss. Remember, you need to eat a certain amount of calories, or the weight loss you do obtain is just damaging your health.

really not sure what to tell you, with time it should get better, but it probably won't ever be normal if you really have alot of skin loose

you should try bulking up, get some muscle on you to fill up that loose skin

hair loss is common when you don't eat enough
