I got my FREE SAMPLES!! Thank You ladies and the thought of Loose Skin has NEVER crossed my mind before or after starting Keto. Im doing it to get my Health back.
WOW, thank you for the sample pack offer...the shipping is just $5, and they even claim that there's a no questions asked refund, so you can't lose on trying this out!
I have lost 105 lbs and I already have loose skin. I still have about 190 to go. Screw the loose skin. I know what it's like to not be able to walk. I know what weighing 462 lbs has done to my body. Loose skin is the least of my worries.
Now, that is a healthy attitude. You are going to be healthy in body and mind. Look how far you have come. I really admire people making a commitment to improve their life and follow through!
I totally agree that being healthier is the biggest perk. I don’t have cravings now and I was able to stop taking 5 meds! Loose skin is the least of my issues. You ladies are beautiful and great examples.
Honestly, that was not what I was thinking about when I started keto. I've lost 58 pounds since October, I have some lose skin. I'll take that any day over being the weight.
I like your comment "deal with it later". No one knows how much loose skin they will have after a major weight loss anyway. I lost 65 lbs in 2004/2005. I got a little ab fold at the bottom and some lovely upper arm flappiness. The rest of my skin shrank up. I was in my late 30s. I gained 40 lbs back, so here we go again. Losing 50 lbs after 50 is a whole new ball game. Now I have lose skin including on my neck where I lost my triple chin. Which would I rather have? I'll take those neck wrinkles over that triple chin every time. No question.
I’ve lost 94 lbs on keto over the last year and a half, and am 61 years of age, so OF COURSE I have loose skin, but SO WHAT? Lamentable, but not a reason to go off keto or to never have started. For me it has always been about health. Looking better is just a bonus. You can dress appropriately to cover up loose skin, but you cannot hide an obese or overweight state.
i agree! I'm 66 and have loose skin, but I can live with that. I feel SO much better and know that I am healthier...that is way more important to me than vanity.
I lost weight on keto before. Went from size 20 to a size 2. My health improved greatly and my doctors took me off all my meds. I was sad about my loose skin, but I loved the way all my clothes fit. Then I went off keto and gained all the weight plus some back. (Sugar & carbs are my downfall.) I had to be put back on a whole pharmacy of medications because of my bad diet and excess weight. Now I’m embracing keto as a lifestyle and I’m straight up looking forward to seeing that loose skin. I was happier and way more healthier with the loose skin than I am without it.
I now think of the junk in stores full of carbs as literal poison. I am on the anti bill gates/cabal/nwo order diet. It helps me know this lifestyle is permanent.
You ladies are Super Models of healthy eating and great ambassadors for Keto. Being healthy and having a little loose skin late in life is far better than being dead young and looking like a model. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good enough.
I have now lost 50 lbs with keto and I LOVE my journey, I never considered loose skin and even though I have it now, I LOVE how I look in mirror and honestly, Spanx work wonders, nothing beats the feeling of being healthy and looking great in a new outfit that makes your husband say "wow baby, I can't take my eyes off of you!"..... just sayin... 🥰. DO THE KETO!!
Before I lost 35 lbs. on Keto…. I did worry about loose skin. But, I worried more about what was going to become of me if I continued on gaining weight. I watched keto holistic doctors/ nutritionists for 1 month, 3 hours a day BEFORE starting Keto. I believe this was the key for me not getting discouraged. I know what biologically my body is doing with what I put into it. I immediately, within the first week, felt more energetic! I was shocked over my rapid weight loss! I was 15 years overweight and gaining. I think it’s literally a miracle that I am normal looking now! Regardless of the joy I have for looking great …. I can get out of bed without aches and pains, I am no longer have high blood pressure, and I can walk without the aid of a walker! I have a back issues but the extra weight on me literally crippling. I now walk my new dog for an hour every day! God is Good! I have an exciting future ahead of me! Thank You Keto Twins for your part in transforming lives!
I've lost 65 pounds. When I started on my journey I never expected I'd have my young, hard body back. I'm a 63 year old woman that birthed 3 babies. My skin isn't as loose as I thought it would be...I just look like an older 'mom' lady and I'm ok with that. Chronic health beats chronic illness any day....I'm very happy to be comfortable in my own skin again!
As another person who has yo-yoed for decades, I've heard it all, experienced it all and nothing gets my goat more than people touting all the things that prevent loose skin and stretch marks - same for pregnancy stretch marks. It is almost ALL genetic. Look at your mom - did she get stretch marks? If she did, you are likely to get them too. And who cares??? If you don't get them, count yourself lucky. Same for loose skin. I just watched the Olympics where two moms won medals in speed races and they were as fit as can be and they had loose skin and stretch marks on their stomachs. If you look at other track athletes, you can see stretch marks on their thighs too. Stretch marks AND loose skin are signs of living - just as scars are. Our skin is an amazing organ and we should love for all that it does for us. And as much as everyone worries about it, as the Twins said, it's just an excuse. From my experience, my loose skin has done NOTHING to harm my partner's desirability for me either. He's just happy to have a healthier partner and the loose skin is just a remnant of things I've overcome. I have full-on bat wings and that is OK. At this point, I can poke fun at myself and call myself a saggy baggy elephant, but I feel great. That loose skin is a badge of what I've overcome.
We started getting stretch marks on the backs of our knees when we were in 2nd grade (we were underweight at the time but growing tall fast) I remember my friends pointing them out to me (out of being concerned as they were deep and bright red and looked painful) guess what, I haven’t worn shorts since. I had marks before I even gained weight. It’s just a part of life. -Em
😅 I smiled. I've breastfed for over 6 years. My girls look like fried eggs nailed to the wall in an earthquake and I don't even try to hide it. You can't feed babies that long and leave no evidence of it. I'll probably never get breast cancer though so 🤷♀️
Genetics may load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger! U have 80% control over your health outcome. As science learns more, we'll have even MORE control over our health!
@@staceykersting705 and that is a naive thought and a mean comment. It implies people wouldn’t get stretch marks is they lived better lives. I guess you can believe arhat if it makes you feel better, but genetics play a very large roll. My teen son had the cleanest diet. And he’s skinny and and he has stretch marks on his back from growth spurts. Both his dad and I also got growth stretch marks.
Today I broke 200 lbs!, I woke up this morning at 198.8...I am thrilled, I don't think I have seen my weight under 200 in almost 13 years. I am doing Keto for my health, loose skin is to me is just a fact of life. I know when I get to where I need to be, loose skin will most likely be an inevitability. But I am 64, and old people like me are supposed to be wrinkly...right! LOLOLOLOL!
I lost 60 lb & didn't have loose skin because I worked out. I was really afraid of the effects on my chest & back of the arms, stomach but strength training really helps to keep your skin taught. Working out with weights, even low pound weights will help keep the muscle under your skin full. I find chest and back exercises especially helpful for keeping your girls up. ☺️
Great conversation. As a 64 year old woman I know when I lose weight it makes me look older because I have a lot of weight in my face. I don’t care. What’s important to me is my health so I can be around as long as possible for my family. For me it’s a no brainer! Thanks for this video!💞
God Bless You both!!! My last time loosing 125 was in 2010 but unfortunately I gained it all back during and after the pandemic!!! I am 63 and decided to not try anymore since I have had four major weight loss success just to regain it back but thank goodness I accidently ran across your video and after many tears I have decided to try again!
I do intermittent fasting (18/6) for Autophagy which seems to be working. According to studies Autophagy starts at around 17 hours so I do try to do a prolonged fast at least once a week Great video, thank you.
How long have you been doing 1 time per week fasting? And can you say specifically how that has helped you? As in no or little progress in specific area until I started the fasting and then wow this is the progress I made since? I do intermittent fasting skipping breakfast and this has helped me to lose 30 lbs on keto in less than 3 months. But I still have another 50 lbs to go. And I am wondering if adding in a longer fast 1time per week would benefit me It is hard to wrap my brain around.
I ordered my sample pack! Honest video and appreciate your perspective on this subject. I started 5/11/21 @ 320 lbs, Today 8/10 @ 255 lbs using IF and Keto. Thanks for your videos.
I am just starting my keto life. I have multiple health issues. I have people including the last Dr I saw that only see me as a fat grey haired woman. This significantly affects my relationships. I cannot get out of chairs, cannot walk when I get up, cannot run, cannot sleep through the night, cannot make it to the bathroom without an accident 12:43 ….. the list goes on. Loose skin is the least of my thoughts. But I am so grateful you addressed it in this informative dialogue.
This an awesome video! I've lost 100 pounds over the past two years following a keto lifestyle. I knew loose skin would happen as I was 58 when I started and things just don't bounce back like they once did. Do I like it? No. Is it worth it? YES!!! I would never go back to what I was before. I've come to think of the loose skin as "battle scars". I've fought the beast (obesity) and won. Be proud of your battle scars...they are proof of your strength and endurance.
I am so much like both of you. But older. I’ve been overweight since my early teens. I went all the way up to 432 pounds by the time I was in my late 20’s. I’ve lost, gained, lost, gained. I do, and will have tons of loose skin. But I don’t really worry about that. I would honestly rather be able to get around. I’ve damaged my poor body so much over the years with this fat. I certainly don’t expect my body to suddenly be “normal” because I’m working on weight loss. Once I get to a healthy weight and am able to maintain for a while, I will decide if I want to do something about it. Honestly, it is what it is. I already feel better and can do more. I’ll take the health. Thanks for doing this video. It’s so much better to focus on health. ❤️
I'd rather be around for a long while and have loose skin in my life than not starting the weight loss journey that is needed and in reality losing my life as morbid as that sounds. Everyone seems to want to find a reason to live for someone else or some thing.. I'm guilty of that thought too, but realization hit and that is I stopped searching for something or someone to do that for... I, am worth living for.. So are all of you...It's that simple. I got off track since March and gained back not only half my weight I'd lost but the health problems that were with it. It won't be easy but I'm worth making myself get back on track and living life not just surviving it. Love these inspirational videos too they do help.
Health is the goal. Loose skin becomes everyone's reality as we age, (to a greater or lesser degree). Your willingness to share your efforts is appreciated. Thank you
I lost a lot of weight about 10 years ago (doing keto). I looked sooo old. My skin on my face looked so droopy. I hated it. I believe that is why I have not really stuck to my plan. But, today, you made me realize I can do things to tighten my skin on my face, like you know, cosmetic stuff. So, again, you have helped me to identify ways I was sabotaging myself.
I really wnjoy watching u to. I started keto because of you two. 3 months in and I'm down 55 pounds. I still have a long way to go. I no im gonna have alot of loose skin, but I call it my battle scars, and I'm proud. U two inspire me
I finally lost the last 15 lbs I have wanted to lose after (ugh) a 40 yr battle 🙄 ...so at 69 I have lose skin for 2 reasons! But I don't care about shorts, tank tops, swimsuits....I'll take my single digit jean size and size small turtle necks just to feel this happy👍🎉❤️
I'm proud of my sagging apron. It used to be a protruding hard fat belly. It's easier to conceal. I'm trying suggested help, collagen, IF, etc.. Embrace it!
It is autophagy that takes care of loose skin, but it is slow and takes time. Autophagy fasting starts at 17 hours. You can watch Dr. Mindy or Berg who explain it quite well. You can also do strength training to build muscles to reduce loose skin.
I started working out to help build some muscle to help with the loose skin. I do yoga, walking, and light weights. I look at loose skin as a positive sign my body is letting go of the fat.
I know this is an old video but i thought it was very well said and ironically enough I was looking at my arms in the mirror this morning and thought oh well I'd rather feel good - who knew I would stumble across this video today !!!! There is no such thing as a coincidence :)
I knew that loose skin would result in any lifestyle change that resulted in losing weight. I do try to work out in some form at least 5 days a week. Either some type of cardio and resistant band training or targeting certain areas that I know my loose skin will remain. It didn't stop me from making the lifestyle change to keto because I knew that I would rather have loose skin than be 353 lbs at 5'1 than be healthier and have loose skin. I am down to 289 lbs in less than a year and I can tell that I already have looser skin but I am happy with my progress. Thank you for this video you both are absolutely correct!
I have lost 100 lbs with Keto. I have excess skin and I wish I didn't have the excess skin. However, I will never go back to the overweight person I used to be. Losing weight has made my life so much better. It's easier to move around, easier to find clothes that fit, I feel 1000% better than before, I have a confidence I have never had, plus more that I am forgetting. Losing weight is absolutely worth the excess skin. I may eventually get some of it removed but I haven't decided yet. It will be at least 5 or more years before I even think about a consultation.
Weight loss using keto has given me loose skin. And normal blood pressure. And normal blood sugar. It's also taken things away. Like fatigue and inflammation and pain. Good deal.
You guys rock! Thank you for being real. We all need to be reminded that it might be one life and do the best you can in this one. Being perfect in anyway it’s unrealistic. We have to live now! Keep being real!
First I want to say that you ladies are amazing and very inspiring. I started my Keto journey this year in March. I've always struggled with my weight. Back in March I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I was also 251pds at that time as well. This scared me so much! It was then I decided to really do something to reverse pre-diabetes and finally lose weight. I found Keto, researched it and decided to give it a shot. So now as of Sept 12th, I am currently 209pds(my target goal for now is 185) I'm no longer pre-diabetic and I feel so proud of myself. I am however dealing with lose skin on my arms, inner thighs and tummy. But when I stand in the mirror in the nude looking at my body I can't help but to be proud of the progress I've made and will continue to make. I am considering surgery to remove it, but first I want to try working out lol. You ladies are so inspiring 😘
Fantastic! Your comments are spot on! I'm down 65 lbs and probably have almost 200 more to go. I can't wait to have the problem of "what can I do about this loose skin?" (also yes, that surgery looks scary as heck lol). You guys are so "real". The more I watch you, the more I'm a fan. Keep up the great work!
Hello ladies! My heaviest weight was 353 lbs, I was 18 , today I weighed in at 194. I have loose skin on my belly and arms, it’s not the worst, is take loose skin instead of those Xtra pounds! I use compression pants , they’re some thin “ spandex” leggings , which keep me “together” they also work for my Double TKR by providing support , I also use an “arm girdle” that is basically like a long sleeved bra. Recently I’ve done “dry brushing” and also I am looking in to “wood therapy” to sod in loose skin, which is reducing .
Thank you for all your help.. I when from from size 14 to 9 I always feel beautifully I want to be a size 6 you girls are my inspiration you guys are normal like me and I don't care about loose skin I don't walk naike on the streets who cares
I didn't worry about getting loose skin and yes I did experience this to a degree, I only lost 22lbs which is 13kgs, but when I stopped losing weight, it has started to tighten up, and I am 60 years old so I think this is more relevant the older you are. I believe that loose skin is something people on a Keto lifestyle experience because we lose weight so quickly, and I really love being lighter now and I am someone who has never needed to worry about weight loss before now as have always been slim for most of my life. So my experience has always been I liked the way I looked, but I really didn't like being overweight and preferred to have loose skin rather than the extra weight, because I feel healthier now. It is something that is easy to cover up, whereas the extra weight is not something you can hide.
I just want to let you ladies know, both you ladies are my my daughter’s age you are beautiful inside and out. I appreciate your humor. I am 60 years old and started my adventure the same time you did, along as my husband.. I finally showed him a picture of you both and explained what I have been watching he stated you were beautiful before. Just wanted to add you are and inspiration to me I can’t imagine everyone else. Keep up the great work.
Love your message! Ya’ll are a delight to watch. And your common sense, practical outlook, and real perspectives I’m sure are reaching so many people who need to hear what you are saying. Beautiful ladies!
I lost weight on keto and my body was crepey in places. It bothered me, so I increased my weight (fat) and added muscle volume. I don't like the extra weight (fat), although the muscle is good. Back to keto to reduce my weight to my original goal weight. My loose skin is less of a concern than maintaining my health goals. Lots of feelings about the loose skin. I am going to focus on being kind to myself and maintaining my health.
Loose skin never bothered me! Weighing 250 lbs did bother me though. You girls are so right on! Unfortunately in my 20s I wanted to be perfect bc I thought it was expected. Now I know just be the best healthiest person I can be, for myself and my family. My friends and family are so proud of me and I'm proud of myself too. This is a great video, so encouraging, love your content!
Thank you for the timely topic. I think that loose skin is a personal issue. To your point on this video, silly not to lose weight cause you will have loose skin. The benefits of losing weight is more important than any aesthetic. That being said, I'm having skin surgery next week (circumferential body lift with lipo). It's taken a lot to get to this point but literally the skin is just hanging after a 95 pound overall weight-loss (I'm in my fifties) and I would like to live the later years of my life without it. Will let you know how it goes:) P.S. my husband is an identical twin and I love watching your dynamic!
I lost 60 lbs and was keeping it off for 4 yrs with keto. I got breast cancer and when I lost another 20 lbs to 130 lbs I got loose skin. I had both breasts removed...recooperated...and the last 20 came back. My skin recovered and at 66 yrs am firm again. My 150 lbs is my sustainable weight.
If you lose a significant amount of weight, you get loose skin. I remember watching The Biggest Loser and noting that while they did before pictures shirtless, the after picture was always well clothed. It's just how human physiology works. I notice I look a little deflated, but the over-inflated look wasn't better!
I was a little worried about loose skin when losing weight, but not so much that I didn't want to regain my mobility! Gawd, I feel SO much better now, and can get SO much more done! Down 75 pounds so far. Your lecture is well put, ladies - many people need to hear this!
Thank you!!! It's a wonderful message... There are ALWAYS a lot of things about our physique that aren't "ideal" (except for a tiny few of us). If I could have picked my own body design (before birth) I would have chosen one that grew a couple of inches taller with a wider shoulder span with naturally defined muscles and kept a full head of hair into old age... But I spend no time pondering that because IT IS A WASTE OF PRECIOUS TIME! In fact, pondering those types of thoughts diminish you. Stick to what is possible to improve and empower yourself with that. I am old enough to realize that having an imperfect physical body NEVER stood in the way of experiencing the BEST things in life. The most impressive people I know are rarely the best looking. The most beloved and celebrated people are rarely the best looking. Understanding that will MAKE YOU MOST ATTRACTIVE.
You two are fabulous. Twenty years ago I lost 50 pounds and experienced the ‘crepie’ skin. I didn’t like it but I liked how svelte I felt more. But old habits are hard to break and I gained it back. Now I am embarking on a low carb lifestyle and I can again accept loose skin. Thanks you for sharing, you are great!!!
I’d lost 120 and felt so awful about how I looked that I gained 90 back. Ugh. Then I did keto and lost 60. Stress last year and I gained 40 back. Gah! Now down 10 and plan on getting healthy and losing it for good. Thank you for this and your channel and community.
I have a little crepey looking skin now and I have another 40 lbs or so to go. Almost no one sees me naked, so it doesn't matter - I look a lot thinner and can "dress away" any imperfections. Feeling great to be on the "Keto Journey" and having success. I do some intermittent fasting (I think autophagy does help and I just feel good including some fasting in my routine) and I am just curious to see what my very own body can accomplish in a year or two (and beyond) of staying with this lifestyle, tweaking as I go. Wishing everyone success and an improvement in quality of life and self worth. :) Very much enjoying this channel and so impressed with all the positive commenters sharing their experiences. Cool community.
Thank you, Keto Twins! This is really good advice. You can choose your scholar, country and century, and the aphorism rings true: "Perfection is the enemy of progress." -- Winston Churchill; "Perfect is the enemy of good." -- Voltaire; "Le meglio è l'inimico del bene" -- Italian proverb.
It's easier to hide loose skin than a big belly and round face! I'm 74 and people tell me I look like I'm in my 60s. But, I'm 40 pounds overweight, so when I lose 20 or 30 pounds then I expect that I will also have more wrinkles too which will make me look older (i.e. my actual age). I understand people's vanity, because I'm vain too, but I also have a stronger survival instinct that says I'd rather be wrinkled than dead! Thus, it's a choice that I don't find hard to make! You, ladies, inspire me with your charm, frankness, and vulnerability! You bravely admit your mistakes when you could easily edit them out and you present your endorsements with authentic zeal. Bravo!
Let's see here...First choice is to lose weight and stay healthy and ALIVE and get closer to a normal body weight and have some residual loose skin as a result...Second choice is to not have loose skin, but stay overweight and unhealthy and risk all of the known issues that are attributed to it....Not a real hard choice IMHO. Keep up the great work, you two rock stars!
It’s good to see videos like this. I’ve gained and lost multiple times and I don’t love my thighs. The skin is ugh. But I love that I can walk up the stairs and I’m not winded! I would do surgery if it didn’t hurt so dang much AND it was guaranteed to last. For now, I’ll take keto and clapping thighs!
I never even thought about loose skin until my mother’s nasty old husband questioned it. I didn’t even know it was a possibility. Luckily, it was easy to ignore him. I have not lost all my weight yet, and I have a huge belly that folds and hangs over my pubic bone. I am a little worried because every time I lose more weight, it drops lower. I’m prone to yeast infections in the skin under it because of it. I’m wondering whether I’m going to need the surgery, and I don’t think Medicare will ,cover it. I’m not good at fasting. And I’m not going to stop eating keto because of it. I’m actually looking forward to finding out what will happen. And I bought maternity belly bands to have on hand if needed.
I started on Keto June 22, 2022 and thinking about loose skin was not a factor in making the decision to lose weight, my abnormal labs were. I had already investigated the loose skin and how to tighten it up. What caught my attention was how old my friends looked as they started losing weight, I didn't want that at all. My friend told me that was the loose skin in their face so I started doing stuff to hopefully avoid that ,while getting the weight off.
Hi Ladies, Just stumbled upon your channel about two weeks now. I learned A LOT about KETO from Dr. Berg. HIs supplements are awesome. I enjoy your hearing about your journey and love your casual and REAL content. People will always have something negative to say. You both are doing a great job. If people need more science and structure, go some where else. KETO has to be the rest of my life. I am very curvy and have a flat middle. At 232 lbs, I did not have any heath issues, doctors wouldn't be too concerned because my waist was small. As I began aging, i felt the difficulty of getting off the floor, winded when walking, i knew i needed to drop the weight. I tried almost everything. Orlistat, HGC injections, Lemonade detox. etc....nothing made sense more for me than KETO. I do dirty KETO and it still works. Mahalo from Hawaii and Keep going! ;)
I have been on Omad keto for a couple of months so far, I have lost almost 20 kilos and the autophagy process has helped me get rid of my cellulite, I still can't believe it, I have less cellulite now than when I was a teenager! Of course my stretch marks and loose skin from pregnancies are still there, but who cares? My skin looks healthier, my face is glowing, no more hormonal acne, I only use almond oil and shea butter which really helps to strengthen and protect the skin (mine is very sensitive). I am really happy with the way things are going, I couldn't believe that I would achieve these results at 40! Keep it up girls, your health is the first goal!
I agree so much. I'm 5 foot 3. Lost 135 lbs. I had alot of plastic surgery to remove loose skin and I'm still not happy with my body. I was like you. Always self conscious and even removing the skin. I'm still self conscious. I love you two. Your videos are awesome. 💯❤🥰
Thank you so much for sharing Kristy! Was the surgery painful? We’d love to hear about your experience if you have any tips because I know others are just waiting to do it once they reach their goals! -Em
@@ketotwins I had complete Abdominalplasty with upper and lower stomach muscles repaired. I have breast lift and I had bilateral thigh plasty with liposuction. The thigh pain was terrible and like I Saud. I still don't like the way I look. Should have just kept my extra skin and used me Spanx. Lol
The healing process takes a long time. Almost always have to go back for scar revision and the swelling last about 8 weeks. Not to mention all the garments they make you wear to help the swelling
I lost 60lbs when I was 28 and was taking CLA (Conjugated linolic Acid) with tonalin. This helped the elasticity in your skin. I took these after every meal and saw amazing results. Im 38 now and doing keto to lose 100lbs. I have lost 35 since June 2021 and am taking my CLA again and seriously feel it helps. Ill never be a Victoria secret model but I feel much better than when I was 35lbs heavier, 65lbs more to go! Thanks for the great advice, love your channel!
I was one of those that had perfection until mid 20s. I got pregnant at 25, 130lbs of curvy muscle and bone on a petite frame, then pregnancy caught up to me and I gained 70 lbs. Tried so many things, it didn't budge, and I gained another 20-30 on top of the 70. And every time I've thought about trying again, all I can think of is how ill never be what I once was. I've been fat for 7 years now, and it kills me and stops me from even trying, from truly committing.
Hi girls 👧🏻 👧🏻 , about 25 yrs ago I lost a lot of weight . My skin doesn’t have great elasticity my tummy was really bad and it bothered me . It just hung so 4,000 later I had a tummy tuck done . It was the best thing I could have ever done cuz even when I do gain weight , my tummy is still flat . However when I was going on diets it never Thorne on me to think about “ loose skin” I’d rather be thinner and have loose skin then be heavier . I will tell you “ not “ to get lipo on inner thighs cuz it does get loose . I’d rather them be a lil heavier and be more solid live and learn thank you for all you do 🌻🌻🌻
So happy to hear that you got a tummy tuck and it was a good experience for you! Im too much of a scaredy-cat right now to consider any kind of skin procedure but maybe someday I will get over my fear :) -Em
You gals are spot on! At 76, the last worry for me is about loose skin! Staying true to keto is my focus now. Only started 6 weeks ago and losing every week so far. Made a few mistakes, but haven't been discouraged enough to stop the process. And listening to you two discuss the issues that some are experiencing really helps keep me uplifted and determined! Thanks for having this channel! Keep it going! Love ya for putting yourselves out there for the rest of us!!💖💖
I love this video! I never understood the comments about lose skin! Or I lost ___ amount of weight, but it is only water weight. IF you have to lose water first, then that is a great start! Thanks for the great video!
When I had my first baby I saw myself in the mirror 2 days later. I had an apron down to my knees. No internet back then, so no where to get advice. I was only 25, so over time it did shrink up. Never smoked pre baby again, but over time it shrinks. Derma rolling helps a bit, but not a lot or quickly.

I have lost 105 lbs and I already have loose skin. I still have about 190 to go. Screw the loose skin. I know what it's like to not be able to walk. I know what weighing 462 lbs has done to my body. Loose skin is the least of my worries.
Great job. You can absolutely do it.
Congratulations! You’ve made a huge accomplishment.
You really inspire me. Great job!
Amazing Coleen! You go! You got this.
Now, that is a healthy attitude. You are going to be healthy in body and mind. Look how far you have come. I really admire people making a commitment to improve their life and follow through!
Yup. You nailed it. Fear of loose skin sounds more like self-sabotage. The benefits of losing weight are far greater than just physical appearance.
I totally agree that being healthier is the biggest perk. I don’t have cravings now and I was able to stop taking 5 meds! Loose skin is the least of my issues. You ladies are beautiful and great examples.
Honestly, that was not what I was thinking about when I started keto. I've lost 58 pounds since October, I have some lose skin. I'll take that any day over being the weight.
I like your comment "deal with it later". No one knows how much loose skin they will have after a major weight loss anyway. I lost 65 lbs in 2004/2005. I got a little ab fold at the bottom and some lovely upper arm flappiness. The rest of my skin shrank up. I was in my late 30s. I gained 40 lbs back, so here we go again. Losing 50 lbs after 50 is a whole new ball game. Now I have lose skin including on my neck where I lost my triple chin. Which would I rather have? I'll take those neck wrinkles over that triple chin every time. No question.
"lovely uuper arm flappiness".... may I borrow your words?🙃
I’ve lost 94 lbs on keto over the last year and a half, and am 61 years of age, so OF COURSE I have loose skin, but SO WHAT? Lamentable, but not a reason to go off keto or to never have started. For me it has always been about health. Looking better is just a bonus. You can dress appropriately to cover up loose skin, but you cannot hide an obese or overweight state.
Exactly Rhonda! It’s not like we run around naked 24/7. I feel so good the loose skin i don’t worry about.
i agree! I'm 66 and have loose skin, but I can live with that. I feel SO much better and know that I am healthier...that is way more important to me than vanity.
Loose skin happens as you get older regardless.
I lost weight on keto before. Went from size 20 to a size 2. My health improved greatly and my doctors took me off all my meds. I was sad about my loose skin, but I loved the way all my clothes fit. Then I went off keto and gained all the weight plus some back. (Sugar & carbs are my downfall.) I had to be put back on a whole pharmacy of medications because of my bad diet and excess weight. Now I’m embracing keto as a lifestyle and I’m straight up looking forward to seeing that loose skin. I was happier and way more healthier with the loose skin than I am without it.
I now think of the junk in stores full of carbs as literal poison. I am on the anti bill gates/cabal/nwo order diet. It helps me know this lifestyle is permanent.
I heard someone say that perfection is just procrastination.
I chuckled, “you are wearing your mistake”. Absolutely nailed it.
You ladies are Super Models of healthy eating and great ambassadors for Keto. Being healthy and having a little loose skin late in life is far better than being dead young and looking like a model.
Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good enough.
I have now lost 50 lbs with keto and I LOVE my journey, I never considered loose skin and even though I have it now, I LOVE how I look in mirror and honestly, Spanx work wonders, nothing beats the feeling of being healthy and looking great in a new outfit that makes your husband say "wow baby, I can't take my eyes off of you!"..... just sayin... 🥰. DO THE KETO!!
Did the loose skin go away?
Before I lost 35 lbs. on Keto…. I did worry about loose skin. But, I worried more about what was going to become of me if I continued on gaining weight. I watched keto holistic doctors/ nutritionists for 1 month, 3 hours a day BEFORE starting Keto. I believe this was the key for me not getting discouraged. I know what biologically my body is doing with what I put into it. I immediately, within the first week, felt more energetic! I was shocked over my rapid weight loss! I was 15 years overweight and gaining. I think it’s literally a miracle that I am normal looking now! Regardless of the joy I have for looking great …. I can get out of bed without aches and pains, I am no longer have high blood pressure, and I can walk without the aid of a walker! I have a back issues but the extra weight on me literally crippling. I now walk my new dog for an hour every day! God is Good! I have an exciting future ahead of me! Thank You Keto Twins for your part in transforming lives!
I've lost 65 pounds. When I started on my journey I never expected I'd have my young, hard body back. I'm a 63 year old woman that birthed 3 babies. My skin isn't as loose as I thought it would be...I just look like an older 'mom' lady and I'm ok with that. Chronic health beats chronic illness any day....I'm very happy to be comfortable in my own skin again!
As another person who has yo-yoed for decades, I've heard it all, experienced it all and nothing gets my goat more than people touting all the things that prevent loose skin and stretch marks - same for pregnancy stretch marks. It is almost ALL genetic. Look at your mom - did she get stretch marks? If she did, you are likely to get them too. And who cares??? If you don't get them, count yourself lucky. Same for loose skin.
I just watched the Olympics where two moms won medals in speed races and they were as fit as can be and they had loose skin and stretch marks on their stomachs. If you look at other track athletes, you can see stretch marks on their thighs too.
Stretch marks AND loose skin are signs of living - just as scars are. Our skin is an amazing organ and we should love for all that it does for us.
And as much as everyone worries about it, as the Twins said, it's just an excuse. From my experience, my loose skin has done NOTHING to harm my partner's desirability for me either. He's just happy to have a healthier partner and the loose skin is just a remnant of things I've overcome.
I have full-on bat wings and that is OK. At this point, I can poke fun at myself and call myself a saggy baggy elephant, but I feel great. That loose skin is a badge of what I've overcome.
We started getting stretch marks on the backs of our knees when we were in 2nd grade (we were underweight at the time but growing tall fast) I remember my friends pointing them out to me (out of being concerned as they were deep and bright red and looked painful) guess what, I haven’t worn shorts since. I had marks before I even gained weight. It’s just a part of life. -Em
*I prefer fabulous flying squirrel=)
😅 I smiled. I've breastfed for over 6 years. My girls look like fried eggs nailed to the wall in an earthquake and I don't even try to hide it. You can't feed babies that long and leave no evidence of it. I'll probably never get breast cancer though so 🤷♀️
Genetics may load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger! U have 80% control over your health outcome. As science learns more, we'll have even MORE control over our health!
@@staceykersting705 and that is a naive thought and a mean comment. It implies people wouldn’t get stretch marks is they lived better lives. I guess you can believe arhat if it makes you feel better, but genetics play a very large roll. My teen son had the cleanest diet. And he’s skinny and and he has stretch marks on his back from growth spurts. Both his dad and I also got growth stretch marks.
Today I broke 200 lbs!, I woke up this morning at 198.8...I am thrilled, I don't think I have seen my weight under 200 in almost 13 years. I am doing Keto for my health, loose skin is to me is just a fact of life. I know when I get to where I need to be, loose skin will most likely be an inevitability. But I am 64, and old people like me are supposed to be wrinkly...right! LOLOLOLOL!
🤣🤗❤️ love your attitude Charlotte! -Em
Welcome to 1derland!!! 🤩👏👏👏
I lost 60 lb & didn't have loose skin because I worked out. I was really afraid of the effects on my chest & back of the arms, stomach but strength training really helps to keep your skin taught. Working out with weights, even low pound weights will help keep the muscle under your skin full. I find chest and back exercises especially helpful for keeping your girls up. ☺️
Great conversation. As a 64 year old woman I know when I lose weight it makes me look older because I have a lot of weight in my face. I don’t care. What’s important to me is my health so I can be around as long as possible for my family. For me it’s a no brainer! Thanks for this video!💞
I lost 30lbs and have loose skin. Don't like it one bit, but I do feel better when on keto. My aim is to get out of a pre-diabetic state. Lesser evil.
God Bless You both!!! My last time loosing 125 was in 2010 but unfortunately I gained it all back during and after the pandemic!!! I am 63 and decided to not try anymore since I have had four major weight loss success just to regain it back but thank goodness I accidently ran across your video and after many tears I have decided to try again!
I do intermittent fasting (18/6) for Autophagy which seems to be working. According to studies Autophagy starts at around 17 hours so I do try to do a prolonged fast at least once a week Great video, thank you.
How long have you been doing 1 time per week fasting? And can you say specifically how that has helped you? As in no or little progress in specific area until I started the fasting and then wow this is the progress I made since? I do intermittent fasting skipping breakfast and this has helped me to lose 30 lbs on keto in less than 3 months. But I still have another 50 lbs to go. And I am wondering if adding in a longer fast 1time per week would benefit me
It is hard to wrap my brain around.
I ordered my sample pack! Honest video and appreciate your perspective on this subject. I started 5/11/21 @ 320 lbs, Today 8/10 @ 255 lbs using IF and Keto. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks John! Hope you love it! -Em
I am just starting my keto life. I have multiple health issues. I have people including the last Dr I saw that only see me as a fat grey haired woman. This significantly affects my relationships. I cannot get out of chairs, cannot walk when I get up, cannot run, cannot sleep through the night, cannot make it to the bathroom without an accident 12:43 ….. the list goes on. Loose skin is the least of my thoughts. But I am so grateful you addressed it in this informative dialogue.
This an awesome video! I've lost 100 pounds over the past two years following a keto lifestyle. I knew loose skin would happen as I was 58 when I started and things just don't bounce back like they once did. Do I like it? No. Is it worth it? YES!!! I would never go back to what I was before. I've come to think of the loose skin as "battle scars". I've fought the beast (obesity) and won. Be proud of your battle scars...they are proof of your strength and endurance.
Love this Vicki! We are coming to terms with it as well, our health is more important than the way we look! -Em
I am so much like both of you. But older. I’ve been overweight since my early teens. I went all the way up to 432 pounds by the time I was in my late 20’s. I’ve lost, gained, lost, gained. I do, and will have tons of loose skin. But I don’t really worry about that. I would honestly rather be able to get around. I’ve damaged my poor body so much over the years with this fat. I certainly don’t expect my body to suddenly be “normal” because I’m working on weight loss. Once I get to a healthy weight and am able to maintain for a while, I will decide if I want to do something about it. Honestly, it is what it is. I already feel better and can do more. I’ll take the health. Thanks for doing this video. It’s so much better to focus on health. ❤️
Wow, you girl's came a long way. Good for you both. You girl's are beautiful. Congratulations on your success.
I'm in my sixties. I had been doing keto for several months
I'd rather be around for a long while and have loose skin in my life than not starting the weight loss journey that is needed and in reality losing my life as morbid as that sounds. Everyone seems to want to find a reason to live for someone else or some thing.. I'm guilty of that thought too, but realization hit and that is I stopped searching for something or someone to do that for... I, am worth living for.. So are all of you...It's that simple. I got off track since March and gained back not only half my weight I'd lost but the health problems that were with it. It won't be easy but I'm worth making myself get back on track and living life not just surviving it. Love these inspirational videos too they do help.
Health is the goal. Loose skin becomes everyone's reality as we age, (to a greater or lesser degree). Your willingness to share your efforts is appreciated. Thank you
I have had a lot of people ask me about my loose skin, I tell them I am still working on that. Thanks for sharing.
I lost a lot of weight about 10 years ago (doing keto). I looked sooo old. My skin on my face looked so droopy. I hated it. I believe that is why I have not really stuck to my plan. But, today, you made me realize I can do things to tighten my skin on my face, like you know, cosmetic stuff. So, again, you have helped me to identify ways I was sabotaging myself.
I’ve heard derma rolling helps ( I actually have one and need to start using it 🤣)-Em
I really wnjoy watching u to. I started keto because of you two. 3 months in and I'm down 55 pounds. I still have a long way to go. I no im gonna have alot of loose skin, but I call it my battle scars, and I'm proud. U two inspire me
WOW that’s amazing Tonnie!! Yay! Congratulations!! Thanks so much for sharing! -Em
I finally lost the last 15 lbs I have wanted to lose after (ugh) a 40 yr battle 🙄 ...so at 69 I have lose skin for 2 reasons! But I don't care about shorts, tank tops, swimsuits....I'll take my single digit jean size and size small turtle necks just to feel this happy👍🎉❤️
I'm proud of my sagging apron. It used to be a protruding hard fat belly. It's easier to conceal. I'm trying suggested help, collagen, IF, etc.. Embrace it!
It is autophagy that takes care of loose skin, but it is slow and takes time. Autophagy fasting starts at 17 hours. You can watch Dr. Mindy or Berg who explain it quite well. You can also do strength training to build muscles to reduce loose skin.
I started working out to help build some muscle to help with the loose skin. I do yoga, walking, and light weights. I look at loose skin as a positive sign my body is letting go of the fat.
I know this is an old video but i thought it was very well said and ironically enough I was looking at my arms in the mirror this morning and thought oh well I'd rather feel good - who knew I would stumble across this video today !!!! There is no such thing as a coincidence :)
I knew that loose skin would result in any lifestyle change that resulted in losing weight. I do try to work out in some form at least 5 days a week. Either some type of cardio and resistant band training or targeting certain areas that I know my loose skin will remain. It didn't stop me from making the lifestyle change to keto because I knew that I would rather have loose skin than be 353 lbs at 5'1 than be healthier and have loose skin. I am down to 289 lbs in less than a year and I can tell that I already have looser skin but I am happy with my progress. Thank you for this video you both are absolutely correct!
I have lost 100 lbs with Keto. I have excess skin and I wish I didn't have the excess skin. However, I will never go back to the overweight person I used to be. Losing weight has made my life so much better. It's easier to move around, easier to find clothes that fit, I feel 1000% better than before, I have a confidence I have never had, plus more that I am forgetting. Losing weight is absolutely worth the excess skin. I may eventually get some of it removed but I haven't decided yet. It will be at least 5 or more years before I even think about a consultation.
Weight loss using keto has given me loose skin. And normal blood pressure. And normal blood sugar. It's also taken things away. Like fatigue and inflammation and pain. Good deal.
Yes! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 love to hear that Mary, such amazing victories! -Em
You guys rock! Thank you for being real. We all need to be reminded that it might be one life and do the best you can in this one. Being perfect in anyway it’s unrealistic. We have to live now! Keep being real!
❤️❤️
First I want to say that you ladies are amazing and very inspiring. I started my Keto journey this year in March. I've always struggled with my weight. Back in March I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I was also 251pds at that time as well. This scared me so much! It was then I decided to really do something to reverse pre-diabetes and finally lose weight. I found Keto, researched it and decided to give it a shot. So now as of Sept 12th, I am currently 209pds(my target goal for now is 185) I'm no longer pre-diabetic and I feel so proud of myself. I am however dealing with lose skin on my arms, inner thighs and tummy. But when I stand in the mirror in the nude looking at my body I can't help but to be proud of the progress I've made and will continue to make. I am considering surgery to remove it, but first I want to try working out lol. You ladies are so inspiring 😘
Fantastic! Your comments are spot on! I'm down 65 lbs and probably have almost 200 more to go. I can't wait to have the problem of "what can I do about this loose skin?" (also yes, that surgery looks scary as heck lol). You guys are so "real". The more I watch you, the more I'm a fan. Keep up the great work!
Congrats Stephen on losing 65 lbs so far, that’s great! -Em
Hello ladies! My heaviest weight was 353 lbs, I was 18 , today I weighed in at 194. I have loose skin on my belly and arms, it’s not the worst, is take loose skin instead of those Xtra pounds! I use compression pants , they’re some thin “ spandex” leggings , which keep me “together” they also work for my Double TKR by providing support , I also use an “arm girdle” that is basically like a long sleeved bra.
Recently I’ve done “dry brushing” and also I am looking in to “wood therapy” to sod in loose skin, which is reducing .
I have heard of dry brushing but have never done it, we’d love to hear if you see improvement Martha! Thanks so much for sharing! -Em
Thank you for all your help.. I when from from size 14 to 9 I always feel beautifully I want to be a size 6 you girls are my inspiration you guys are normal like me and I don't care about loose skin I don't walk naike on the streets who cares
I didn't worry about getting loose skin and yes I did experience this to a degree, I only lost 22lbs which is 13kgs, but when I stopped losing weight, it has started to tighten up, and I am 60 years old so I think this is more relevant the older you are. I believe that loose skin is something people on a Keto lifestyle experience because we lose weight so quickly, and I really love being lighter now and I am someone who has never needed to worry about weight loss before now as have always been slim for most of my life. So my experience has always been I liked the way I looked, but I really didn't like being overweight and preferred to have loose skin rather than the extra weight, because I feel healthier now. It is something that is easy to cover up, whereas the extra weight is not something you can hide.
I just want to let you ladies know, both you ladies are my my daughter’s age you are beautiful inside and out. I appreciate your humor. I am 60 years old and started my adventure the same time you did, along as my husband.. I finally showed him a picture of you both and explained what I have been watching he stated you were beautiful before. Just wanted to add you are and inspiration to me I can’t imagine everyone else. Keep up the great work.
Aww thank you Judith! Not everyone gets our humor, we are grateful you do!
Love your message! Ya’ll are a delight to watch. And your common sense, practical outlook, and real perspectives I’m sure are reaching so many people who need to hear what you are saying. Beautiful ladies!
🙈🙈❤️❤️-em
I lost weight on keto and my body was crepey in places. It bothered me, so I increased my weight (fat) and added muscle volume. I don't like the extra weight (fat), although the muscle is good. Back to keto to reduce my weight to my original goal weight. My loose skin is less of a concern than maintaining my health goals. Lots of feelings about the loose skin. I am going to focus on being kind to myself and maintaining my health.
I found that Dr. Ken Berry has a very good video on loose skin. Very informative. And I agree with you about no surgery.
Loose skin never bothered me! Weighing 250 lbs did bother me though. You girls are so right on! Unfortunately in my 20s I wanted to be perfect bc I thought it was expected. Now I know just be the best healthiest person I can be, for myself and my family. My friends and family are so proud of me and I'm proud of myself too. This is a great video, so encouraging, love your content!
That’s so wonderful!! Congratulations! -Em
you are so right…if people are making excuses they aren’t ready!!
Thank you for the timely topic. I think that loose skin is a personal issue. To your point on this video, silly not to lose weight cause you will have loose skin. The benefits of losing weight is more important than any aesthetic. That being said, I'm having skin surgery next week (circumferential body lift with lipo). It's taken a lot to get to this point but literally the skin is just hanging after a 95 pound overall weight-loss (I'm in my fifties) and I would like to live the later years of my life without it. Will let you know how it goes:) P.S. my husband is an identical twin and I love watching your dynamic!
Dry brushing helps tighten the skin. It also helps your lymphatic system.
I lost 60 lbs and was keeping it off for 4 yrs with keto.
I got breast cancer and when I lost another 20 lbs to 130 lbs I got loose skin. I had both breasts removed...recooperated...and the last 20 came back. My skin recovered and at 66 yrs am firm again. My 150 lbs is my sustainable weight.
If you lose a significant amount of weight, you get loose skin. I remember watching The Biggest Loser and noting that while they did before pictures shirtless, the after picture was always well clothed. It's just how human physiology works.
I notice I look a little deflated, but the over-inflated look wasn't better!
I was a little worried about loose skin when losing weight, but not so much that I didn't want to regain my mobility! Gawd, I feel SO much better now, and can get SO much more done! Down 75 pounds so far. Your lecture is well put, ladies - many people need to hear this!
You two crack me up. Love your honesty!
❤️🤣-Em
Thank you!!! It's a wonderful message... There are ALWAYS a lot of things about our physique that aren't "ideal" (except for a tiny few of us).
If I could have picked my own body design (before birth) I would have chosen one that grew a couple of inches taller with a wider shoulder span with naturally defined muscles and kept a full head of hair into old age... But I spend no time pondering that because IT IS A WASTE OF PRECIOUS TIME! In fact, pondering those types of thoughts diminish you.
Stick to what is possible to improve and empower yourself with that. I am old enough to realize that having an imperfect physical body NEVER stood in the way of experiencing the BEST things in life.
The most impressive people I know are rarely the best looking.
The most beloved and celebrated people are rarely the best looking.
Understanding that will MAKE YOU MOST ATTRACTIVE.
You two are fabulous. Twenty years ago I lost 50 pounds and experienced the ‘crepie’ skin. I didn’t like it but I liked how svelte I felt more. But old habits are hard to break and I gained it back. Now I am embarking on a low carb lifestyle and I can again accept loose skin. Thanks you for sharing, you are great!!!
You can do it Jo!!
There are so many benefits to a Keto lifestyle. I feel better and that's my main goal. I can't wait to have some loose skin, lol!
I’d lost 120 and felt so awful about how I looked that I gained 90 back. Ugh. Then I did keto and lost 60. Stress last year and I gained 40 back. Gah! Now down 10 and plan on getting healthy and losing it for good. Thank you for this and your channel and community.
Stay focused💕 You Got This!
Loose skin….. “you’re wearing your mistake .” Well said, Emily! Totally agree.
Who cares your healthy. I’m 69 lost 39 pounds and feel great. You both are so right. 🤩💕
That’s right, put things in perspective.
I have a little crepey looking skin now and I have another 40 lbs or so to go. Almost no one sees me naked, so it doesn't matter - I look a lot thinner and can "dress away" any imperfections. Feeling great to be on the "Keto Journey" and having success. I do some intermittent fasting (I think autophagy does help and I just feel good including some fasting in my routine) and I am just curious to see what my very own body can accomplish in a year or two (and beyond) of staying with this lifestyle, tweaking as I go. Wishing everyone success and an improvement in quality of life and self worth. :) Very much enjoying this channel and so impressed with all the positive commenters sharing their experiences. Cool community.
Thank you, Keto Twins! This is really good advice. You can choose your scholar, country and century, and the aphorism rings true: "Perfection is the enemy of progress." -- Winston Churchill; "Perfect is the enemy of good." -- Voltaire; "Le meglio è l'inimico del bene" -- Italian proverb.
Love all the different versions, so true! -Em
Thanks!
Awwww thanks so much Judith!!
It's easier to hide loose skin than a big belly and round face! I'm 74 and people tell me I look like I'm in my 60s. But, I'm 40 pounds overweight, so when I lose 20 or 30 pounds then I expect that I will also have more wrinkles too which will make me look older (i.e. my actual age).
I understand people's vanity, because I'm vain too, but I also have a stronger survival instinct that says I'd rather be wrinkled than dead! Thus, it's a choice that I don't find hard to make!
You, ladies, inspire me with your charm, frankness, and vulnerability! You bravely admit your mistakes when you could easily edit them out and you present your endorsements with authentic zeal. Bravo!
I ordered my LMNT! Thanks y'all
You are so sweet and thank you for saying this I have been heavy my whole life it makes me feel hopeful! God bless you both so much!
Thank you for being real
Let's see here...First choice is to lose weight and stay healthy and ALIVE and get closer to a normal body weight and have some residual loose skin as a result...Second choice is to not have loose skin, but stay overweight and unhealthy and risk all of the known issues that are attributed to it....Not a real hard choice IMHO.
Keep up the great work, you two rock stars!
Wise. Logical. Brilliant Advice. As always - thank you. ❤❤❤
My last A1C was 5.4 so no, I’m not worried about my loose skin
Spandex is gold.
It’s good to see videos like this. I’ve gained and lost multiple times and I don’t love my thighs. The skin is ugh. But I love that I can walk up the stairs and I’m not winded! I would do surgery if it didn’t hurt so dang much AND it was guaranteed to last. For now, I’ll take keto and clapping thighs!
Same Simone, same. My thighs are my problem area too! -Em
I just ordered my LMNT pack!
I never even thought about loose skin until my mother’s nasty old husband questioned it. I didn’t even know it was a possibility. Luckily, it was easy to ignore him. I have not lost all my weight yet, and I have a huge belly that folds and hangs over my pubic bone. I am a little worried because every time I lose more weight, it drops lower. I’m prone to yeast infections in the skin under it because of it. I’m wondering whether I’m going to need the surgery, and I don’t think Medicare will ,cover it. I’m not good at fasting. And I’m not going to stop eating keto because of it. I’m actually looking forward to finding out what will happen. And I bought maternity belly bands to have on hand if needed.
I recently subscribed to your channel and I’m happy I did bc I’m liking your contents. Very realistic and to the point ❤
I started on Keto June 22, 2022 and thinking about loose skin was not a factor in making the decision to lose weight, my abnormal labs were. I had already investigated the loose skin and how to tighten it up. What caught my attention was how old my friends looked as they started losing weight, I didn't want that at all. My friend told me that was the loose skin in their face so I started doing stuff to hopefully avoid that ,while getting the weight off.
👍 Well said. Thank you for sharing.
I'm still in the process of losing weight. I will be super excited when I start seeing lose skin lol.
LMNT is wonderful! Chocolate and mango chili are favorites. Great in carbonated water.
I’ve never tried it in carbonated water! Going to give it a go soon! Thanks for the idea! -Em
@@ketotwins be careful! They overflow like a volcano if you don’t stir carefully and slowly!
Hi Ladies, Just stumbled upon your channel about two weeks now. I learned A LOT about KETO from Dr. Berg. HIs supplements are awesome. I enjoy your hearing about your journey and love your casual and REAL content. People will always have something negative to say. You both are doing a great job. If people need more science and structure, go some where else. KETO has to be the rest of my life. I am very curvy and have a flat middle. At 232 lbs, I did not have any heath issues, doctors wouldn't be too concerned because my waist was small. As I began aging, i felt the difficulty of getting off the floor, winded when walking, i knew i needed to drop the weight. I tried almost everything. Orlistat, HGC injections, Lemonade detox. etc....nothing made sense more for me than KETO. I do dirty KETO and it still works. Mahalo from Hawaii and Keep going! ;)
You gals are so inspring.
I have been on Omad keto for a couple of months so far, I have lost almost 20 kilos and the autophagy process has helped me get rid of my cellulite, I still can't believe it, I have less cellulite now than when I was a teenager! Of course my stretch marks and loose skin from pregnancies are still there, but who cares? My skin looks healthier, my face is glowing, no more hormonal acne, I only use almond oil and shea butter which really helps to strengthen and protect the skin (mine is very sensitive). I am really happy with the way things are going, I couldn't believe that I would achieve these results at 40! Keep it up girls, your health is the first goal!
That’s great to hear! Im not sure if I have less cellulite or I just am noticing it more now 🤣 -em
Great message!
Love you two!
I agree so much. I'm 5 foot 3. Lost 135 lbs. I had alot of plastic surgery to remove loose skin and I'm still not happy with my body. I was like you. Always self conscious and even removing the skin. I'm still self conscious. I love you two. Your videos are awesome. 💯❤🥰
Thank you so much for sharing Kristy! Was the surgery painful? We’d love to hear about your experience if you have any tips because I know others are just waiting to do it once they reach their goals! -Em
@@ketotwins I had complete Abdominalplasty with upper and lower stomach muscles repaired. I have breast lift and I had bilateral thigh plasty with liposuction. The thigh pain was terrible and like I Saud. I still don't like the way I look. Should have just kept my extra skin and used me Spanx. Lol
The healing process takes a long time. Almost always have to go back for scar revision and the swelling last about 8 weeks. Not to mention all the garments they make you wear to help the swelling
I lost 60lbs when I was 28 and was taking CLA (Conjugated linolic Acid) with tonalin. This helped the elasticity in your skin. I took these after every meal and saw amazing results. Im 38 now and doing keto to lose 100lbs. I have lost 35 since June 2021 and am taking my CLA again and seriously feel it helps. Ill never be a Victoria secret model but I feel much better than when I was 35lbs heavier, 65lbs more to go! Thanks for the great advice, love your channel!
Thanks for sharing Sophia! I’ll have to look into that! -Em
I was one of those that had perfection until mid 20s. I got pregnant at 25, 130lbs of curvy muscle and bone on a petite frame, then pregnancy caught up to me and I gained 70 lbs. Tried so many things, it didn't budge, and I gained another 20-30 on top of the 70. And every time I've thought about trying again, all I can think of is how ill never be what I once was. I've been fat for 7 years now, and it kills me and stops me from even trying, from truly committing.
I hope you find the courage to stay focused and are successful💕
Hi girls 👧🏻 👧🏻 , about 25 yrs ago I lost a lot of weight . My skin doesn’t have great elasticity my tummy was really bad and it bothered me . It just hung so 4,000 later I had a tummy tuck done . It was the best thing I could have ever done cuz even when I do gain weight , my tummy is still flat . However when I was going on diets it never Thorne on me to think about “ loose skin” I’d rather be thinner and have loose skin then be heavier . I will tell you “ not “ to get lipo on inner thighs cuz it does get loose . I’d rather them be a lil heavier and be more solid live and learn thank you for all you do 🌻🌻🌻
So happy to hear that you got a tummy tuck and it was a good experience for you! Im too much of a scaredy-cat right now to consider any kind of skin procedure but maybe someday I will get over my fear :) -Em
Another great video ladies! Your honest and realistic approach to weight loss is spot on.
Love this video. Y'all imparting wisdom.
Thanks Carlynn!
You gals are spot on! At 76, the last worry for me is about loose skin! Staying true to keto is my focus now. Only started 6 weeks ago and losing every week so far. Made a few mistakes, but haven't been discouraged enough to stop the process. And listening to you two discuss the issues that some are experiencing really helps keep me uplifted and determined! Thanks for having this channel! Keep it going! Love ya for putting yourselves out there for the rest of us!!💖💖
Congrats on making it 6 weeks Barbara! That’s the toughest part! -Em
I love this video! I never understood the comments about lose skin! Or I lost ___ amount of weight, but it is only water weight. IF you have to lose water first, then that is a great start! Thanks for the great video!
You ladies are awesome! Bless you today for encouraging so many of us😊💕
🤗🤗❤️❤️ Thank you for watching and commenting Carla, it means a lot to us! -Em
Well said.
When I had my first baby I saw myself in the mirror 2 days later. I had an apron down to my knees. No internet back then, so no where to get advice. I was only 25, so over time it did shrink up. Never smoked pre baby again, but over time it shrinks. Derma rolling helps a bit, but not a lot or quickly.
