I recently lost a large amount of weight (about 25 pounds) in a relatively short amount of time (about 2 months). My problem is, now I have these loose rolls of skin around my stomach. I've been doing cardio (cross-training machine) and abs (Navy Seal flutter kicks) to lose it, but it's not working very well, especially around my lower abs. Anybody got any tips/advice? Also, I've been trying to eat a low fat/high carb diet, along with plenty of water. Any feedback will be much appreciated! Thanks! ---------------------------- American_Male "When asking a man of this century, what he did to make his life better, I think he can say, with a great deal of pride and satisfaction, I served in the United States Navy."

Are you lifting weights as well? The rolls of skin could be loose skin that will tighten up with time or there is still more fat under there. Slow that weight loss down. Fill out your profile and tell us a little more. :) Melissa -------------- Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.

The loose stuff will go away. 25 lbs is a large amount and if you weren't training while losing that you lost alot of muscle. Once the muscle come back you will see yourself tighten up! Good luck -------------- To change it, or to create it, simply train it!
