I read on some websites that loose skin can still be tightened after weight loss. Is it true? Has anyone been able to workout and still tighten skin after loosing weight?

Highly unlikely without plastics. I've been working out for two years and still have bat wings and a small tummy roll. All the abs in the world aren't going to make the skin go away.

Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!

I've worked out the whole time I've been losing and nothing is helping at this stage in the game. I figure I'm in for some skin removal in the future.

It takes skin 2 years to complete its shrinking after weight loss. Surgery is the only thing that actually tightens loose skin. Loose skin is made when you are obese, not when you lose weight. Loose skin is damaged and stretched out. There are no creams or exercises that repair skin damage.
