What is the elasticity of skin

[berger034]

I would like to lose 90lbs (im 290lbs @6')

if i lost 10lbs a month would my skin fold over or would it shrink to fit.

It varies by person.

Oh after reading the title I thought you were making a person-suit ala Buffalo Bill. 10 pounds should be fine. If you're 290 right now, I think it'll be a minor change dropping 10 pounds. After a certain amount (I dunno 40, 50 pounds?) you will see folds

It puts the lotion on it's skin!

It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again. It does this whenever it's told.

as much as your dick turns flaccid 😉

Actually now after I worked out, my muscles really stretch my skin when I flex, so when I completely retract my muscles, my skin is all wrinkled :shocked:

yes, i went from 210 to around 164 at 6 feet tall and it left some hanging skin and my stretchmarks (allot of them) all over my body around my armpits and thighs. Looked horribly, but clothing covers it up, cant wear a muscle shirt tho. but it could be because i lost that weight in about 2 months on a crash, near anorexic, diet.

Find before & after pics of Carnie Wilson. Then find the after the after pics after her skin sucking surgery.

i went from 280 @6' to 180 in under a year. it depends on the type of skin you have but its gonna take awhile for it to shrink down. good luck :thumbsup:

I don't know, but I know with the skin on the top of me feet I can pull the skin pretty damn far with absolutly no pain, same with the elbow.
