Lose skin?

ANSWERED
I'm totally terribly terrified of lose skin from weight loss. You know those pictures of the guy who lost all the fat but kept the rolls of skin and saggy pecs, or the women who's bellies don't recover from pregnancies?
I'm just mortified at the thought... Wouldn't it be angonizing to lose all the weight and still not take off your shirt at the pool!!, to look worse than when you were fat, and then have to regain it all and start again at a much slower pace, or get surgery...

Anyway, how much loss will cause the problem, and how fast? I'm trying to cut a good 50lbs (to 7-9% fat) from a starting 200ish lbs. So far I've been burning about 13,000 extra calories of week, losing an avg of 4lbs a week. Am I risking approaching saggy skin, is 4lbs a week too much? Im not too old (early 30s, and I look like I'm early 20s, if facial elasticity plays a role, but I've also been carrying this fat for at least a decade, if that plays a role too...)

Anyway, anybody who has been down this road, or knows someone who has, I'd love some advice, or reassurance as to how best manage shrinking my skin in proportion to the rest of me
