I am currently 6 '3 270 lbs.i have alot of stretchmarks as it is idk if that plays a factor. I plan on losing around 40 lbs total im sure tho towards the end i wont be losing 2 lbs prob a week mabey less since will be harder than and i dont want to lose much muscle if possible. But if i lose 2 pounds a week for up to 40 lbs you think ill get loose skin. I will be lifting 5 days a week. I put on the extra weight and had it for about a year to a year and a half now id say.

2 lbs a week is fine, just watch out and if you start seeing it give the weight loss a break as in just maintain your calories

There is only one way to lose a competition, QUIT. Everyone is a winner no matter how small of a weight they lost. However the real winner is the one who keeps pushing past the finish line

Yes ^^^. Skin is completely dependent upon the individuals genetic makeup and how well you've taken care of it. Honestly, asking whether or not you will get loose skin is irrelevant. I'd rather be fit and healthy with curtains hanging off of me, then to be 300 lbs. and have nice vibrant tight skin. My opinion is to tear it up in the gym, eat right and get healthy. Deal with loose skin and other obstacles as they come up. It's all about being healthy!!!
With that said, Vitamin 'E' I believe it is helps to make your skin healthy. Just lotion up after every shower. It will be, what it will be...^^Former 300+lb crew^^

Most of what I have read says loose skin is more a function of age and how far it was stretched. How fast you lose it has little to do with the equation. (2lbs a week is a fine healthy weight loss goal for a big guy though)
