How can I assist my skin to retract after weight loss??

I am going to have the Lap Band surgery in 30 days time and right now I am 352 but the goal is 200. I am SO paranoid about the excess skin from the rapid weight loss. Is there any(sensible) methods to try and utilize while losing weight? I just hate to think of ,000.00 in skin augmentation surgery. Any help would be great and thanks for reading!

Does the weight loss setting on elliptical gym machines really work?

At the gym I use the EFX® Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer™ and I use the weight loss program setting. It asks for my weight and age, and it uses that to determine crossramp and time intervals. My goal is to lose 20 pounds, and i was just wondering if this setting actually works or if there is something that would be better for losing weight? (I can’t run because I have a problem with my feet and ankles)
I am currently on a doctor approved diet for weightloss, i am merely wondering about what type of excercise i should be doing

How effective is drinking water with lemon, when it comes to weight loss?

It is told that lemon water helps with weight loss, but how effective is it? Not the detox diet, but just drinking lemon water throughout the day, how much weight could you possibly lose in a week? In a month? I am curious to know how effective it really is in losing weight.

How does this weight loss plan stack up?

Ok so I want to lose weight, plain and simple. I’ve done the research and I know what to do so thus, I have come up with my own weight loss plan and would like some opinions on it. Here it is:

First off, I am an 18 year old male, about 5’8" and roughly 190 lbs. I have lowered my daily calorie intake to roughly 1500 with a diet consisting mainly of salads, fruits, grilled chicken with small healthy snacks dispersed throughout the day. I would only drink water and green tea. So all in all, I would be eating every four or so hours (to keep the metabolism going).

I would also be working out every day for about an hour performing about 30 mins of eliptical aerobics and about 30 mins of a full body workout. (My goal here is to tone, not really body build.)

My only concern with my plan is the daily calorie intake. Is it too low? I figured that 1500 from food minus about 500 from working out would only give me a net of 1000, roughly. My goal is to get to 170 lbs, at least, in two months.
But the weird thing is, even though the calorie in take is pretty low, I don’t feel as hungry as I thought I would be…

But ok. If I increase the daily calorie intake to 2000, roughly, would I still be losing weight and toning my body fairly well? I would like to lose at least TWO pounds a week.

What is the best way to target lower body fat?

I’ve been working out but it only seems that I’m losing weight on the top probably since I have a pear shaped body, but I was wondering how can I shed some pounds on my lower body.
