Will I get saggy skin after weight loss? How to get rid of loose skin

Will you get saggy skin after weight loss? The TRUTH

First off, it varies from person to person... So many things come into consideration:

  • How quickly you gained the weight.
  • How much weight you gained.
  • Your food choices etc.

I’m not gonna discuss any of the above, because it’s happened, what’s done is done.

I do however want to bring you a glimmer of hope about the overhang on your stomach, which as you’re losing weight, you'll notice there's an overhang.


Worried about having loose skin?

Imagine the fat on your stomach is a balloon. The balloon is tight and hard to stretch, aye?

If you fill it with water, it will stretch and droop, like the graphic below.

Graphic of a filled and overfilled balloon.

Now imagine the balloon is your skin and the water in it is your fat, the skin has now lost it’s elasticity because it's been overstretched.

The fat is a weight inside the stretch skin and that is why it overhangs. Now although you may have lost 50, 100, or even 150lbs, there is still fat left on your stomach as it’s one of the last places to go.

What I’m trying to say is, there is a high chance if you keep dieting and stick to the Life Plan, the overhang will completely go.


Will my saggy skin eventually go completely?

Well just like a balloon, if you fill it with too much water it will impair its structure.

I’m teaching this to you from hundreds of client experiences. Many people think they will have saggy skin but don’t, whereas many people bail on their diet out of fear. Let me tell you, the odds are in YOUR favour.

If unfortunately you are left with sagging skin, the ONLY way to get rid of this is surgery.

I’m not at all promoting that at all, however I'm just trying to save you wasting money on stupid drinks and creams that won't work.


Key points to consider:

  • Sagging skin does NOT define you as a person. You may have been through child birth or a bad time in life that lead to weight gain.
  • If you’re worrying about people judging you, then they’re not worth knowing.
  • I promise you, the rest of us can see you achieving something amazing.
UK “Such a great app! The support has really helped me see the benefit of protein and fibre. I’m now at goal weight, I highly recommend Team RH, life changing.”

After losing more than 6 stone on a GLP-1 medication I was nervous about getting my appetite back and struggling to maintain my weight. Team RH is a great tool to help you achieve this, it is not just for achieving weight loss. I am learning so much about what I should be doing and eating to remain at my weight and have a much healthier outlook in the process. I definitely recommend.

The best thing I ever did was to sign up to Team RH! Having been a member of slimming clubs on and off for years and putting back on what I'd lost I realised I had to do something. I've realised that I've had such a bad relationship with food but not any more :) You have to put the work in and commit to it but I just know this is going to change my life.

I’ve never been on a diet where I eat loads, feel full all day, have so much energy, help and support and have lost over half a stone in 3 weeks! I have a different mindset with scales and food and enjoying it. Thank you Team RH

I’ve been with Team RH for a few years now and it’s great. In total I have lost around 8st. The app is great and easy to use, the team are always happy, friendly and waiting to help! I’d 100% recommend. My husband has been on plan for around 3 months now and he’s lost 28lb!
Donna, UK
I have done all the diets under the sun and I can honestly say this program is the best I have ever followed. They provide more positive support than I have ever received. The app is fantastic and super easy to use.

Read the small print, know you commit yourself to a year and then seriously nothing to complain about. The app is brilliant and motivating — not found one food yet that hasn’t been found by the barcode scanner. Came to lose a stone and lost just over that in 12 weeks and even better managed to maintain for last 3 months eating a high amount of calories and averaging 11,000 steps a day. This works if you commit!!

I started Mounjaro Feb ’25 and following TEAM RH GLP-1 plan. Lost 5 stone and counting. The app has everything you need. Much better than other apps out there. What is £7.99 a month?!
Leanne, UK
The app is great. Lots of information about nutrition and reaching your daily goals. Still can’t believe the amount of calories I have and still lose weight. The team are very helpful — chatted to Andrea, Ashley, Chiko, and Emma on WhatsApp and they couldn't have been more helpful.
Glenys, UK
It was extremely interesting reading through some of the reviews on here. I’ve had the app now for one month and considered it best on the market; it holds the user accountable if used correctly and if the advice is followed. It’s not just about the app, the app is just a tool to enable the user to follow the advice. For the price you pay you cannot go wrong.
