I was wondering since I am losing more than fifty pounds, that when I do reach my ideal weight, how severe will the extra skin (especially around my stomach) be? Will there be none or very little? Also, I have heard that drinking water can help counter this, is this true? Thanks for you time.

Um, I checked your profile, and I would say that your young age, and the fact that you work-out will be helpful to prevent this from happening. Another thing is to not try to lose the weight too quickly, so that your skin's elasticity has a chance to keep up. You will lose the fat and weight from all over your body, not just the abdomen.

Why not introduce yourself in the Introductions Forum? ;) ... you'll get a big HELLO from everybody ... and maybe some folks with "sagging skin" expertise can offer some suggestions.
