Afraid to lose weight!

I know this is probably pathetic, but I'm so scared to lose weight because I don't want excess lose skin! I need to lose about 70 pounds I'm 180 right now and 21 year old female. I'm just scared I'll look worse and yeah... :(

Try baby steps. Lose 10 lbs first. You'll feel amazing with the exercise and there won't be any extra skin (which takes a crazy amount of weight loss to experience).
After that, take a look at yourself, gauge your next goal then keep on going. If the skin ever starts yo get a little loose, then just slow down for a while. You're not going to lose weight by accident.
Good luck

Especially on the face, neck, arms and stomach! Surprisingly, I don't look like my weight...I actually look like a pregnant woman.
