There are a lot of other factors as to excess skin, It  depends on how long you have been over weight, your skin type, (mine is VERY thin and crepie,  I've been told), If you are a woman,how many children have you had,  From what I have ben told and research it's not how fast you lose but a lot of other stuff that will tell if you have excess skin.  You may want to ask on the plastic's board also,  Good Luck,  Robin

Excess skin is something that you just don't know how its going to be until you're there.  People who lose weight without surgery may even have hanging skin issues (I saw just that thing on an Dr 90210 episode).  Whether you lose fast or slow, the skin will take approx 2 years to bounce back as much as it's going to bounce.  Dependent factors include length of time being obese, age, genetics, and mix in some plain old luck. Muscle toning does nothing for skin (just gives more muscle under the skin -- but totally a good thing for other obvious reasons), creams/lotions do nothing to help either.
