Toning loose skin during weight loss?

So I've lost a stone doing the 5:2 and I've at least another stone to go, possibly 2. Already I'm sagging, particularly my boobs and tummy. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to mitigate the sagging while I'm losing the weight? I'm doing a bit of dry brushing, and moisturising, but how about specific bust exercises or a toning gel or anything else that might work? Really do t want to look shit naked! Thanks for any ideas

Swimming helped me both lose weight and tone up at the same time. Walking also helped tone my bum/legs.

Thanks poptart, a friend in RL said swimming too, so I'm going to do that. Its good for the pecs isn't it?

I found swimming toned me all over, cos I was kinda fat and wobbly all over! When I put on weight it doesn't just go to a specific place, like my tummy or thighs, it kinda distributes itself evenly iykwim, so I get bigger everywhere, unlike my friend who always puts on weight on her bottom half but still has lovely thin arms/back.
I also hate being sweaty, so other forms of exercise just aren't for me.

Hi, I'm loosing a lot of weight (Hopefully! Grin ), about 3-4 stone this year and was worried about sagging skin on my stomach too. Someone on the beauty threads recommended this: www.thecosmeticpractice.co.uk/body-products-c6/mene-moy-revitalizing-body-lotion-150ml-p838
to start with, then go onto the advanced formula. I wasn't overly keen on the Glycolic Acid in it though so have gone for this instead:

They also have this, but apparently it makes you very hot! :

Congrats on the weight loss, and good luck with the rest! :D
