Avoiding the SKIN issues
Before you respond with "there is nothing you can do" or "it is about genetics", I already know this. HOWEVER...
I want to hear all of your old wives tales and rumors for how to keep it tight (or as tight as possible). Creams, exercises, certain foods, standing on my head while I sing 99 bottles of protein shakes on the wall, what ever it is lay it on me. I intend to do ALL of them. lol
I am 4 years out. I don't believe that anyone here can give you any special "tricks" that can beat your genetics, but I will say that I believe excersize has made a great impact on my body composition. I did have a tummy tuck recently, but I have had 4 kids and a set of twins, so I deserved one!
Here is a progression photo, These are before plastics and you can see what happened at least from the backside.
I've been doing alot of research online. Vitamin C is suppose to help....earthclinic.com has blogs talking about this. I also read that lotions with shea butter or cocoa butter are good. The main thing seems to be to keep your skin moisturized and exfoliate.
Again...just research I've done online. Nothing confirmed by me.
