Weight loss and Pouchy skin...

[sumguy]

I've been losing weight at a relatively slow pace, about 8kg or 10kg (16 - 20 pounds?) over the last five or six weeks, it's noticeable but slower than I have patience for, and I'm thinking about taking it up a notch. But I'm worried to lost weight faster, why?

 

Because it seems every news show has the: "This person lost 30/40/50kg by working out 5 hours a day, but now look at them!", and they look great until you see them, and they have pouches of loose skin and flab, correctable only by plastic surgery(sp).

 

I currently weigh just over 105kg (very little of it muscle), I have a height of 190cm, I'm probably going to try and lose another 10 or 15kg, but is there any way I can avoid getting these pouches of flab? Any special exercise? Any special diet? Anything?!

 

Thanks in advance =)

No offense, but most of that weight loss may just be water weight. When trying to lose (or gain) weight, you are not supposed to lose more then 1-2- lbs a week (unless of course you are morbidlly obese).

 

Check out link removed for lots of great advice.

or alternatively some good advice here.

Remember that diet is more important than training.

Byates, I'm a child of the Metric system, I don't know what a lbs is, let alone how to convert one to something I'd understand =P But thanks for the post and the link.

 

CarterJonas, thanks to you as well, but I have no luck sticking to programs, I have to work on my own schedule, or I end up getting fed up with the progress =)

 

I will check out that bodybuilding forum though, thanks both ^_^

ppl usually dont get that unless they lose weight too quickly.
