Good job man, you probably feel a lot better every day. That's very important. Yah... having so much skin, sucks after working so hard loosing fat. Continue lifting weight, as you build up your upper body it will start looking better. Give it time. Lots of protein build those muscles. I went from 260 to 190, over 3 year spend. I probably lost 100lbs of fat but build 30 of muscles. Have a little bit of excess skin, but not much at all.

Anyway thx for posting. Good job loosing fat.

I was in 9th grade weighing 265 lbs..I lost weight all the way down to 183..Found myself with this wretched thing we all know as excess skin..Not too much tho..So i decided to gain weight again..I went up to 233..I started to lose weight again but this time i began to lift weights!!

My bench is at 235,curl 110,shoudler press 135,and pt being i gained a lot of muscle..I still have fat on my stomach but i do not want to lose it cause i know the results already..So here i am 6ft,215,and excess skn

Well, you look fabulous. Brave of you to show your excess skin - a side effect of losing a great amount of weight. I am sure that you still feel like you fit better in your skin now despite there being a bit of excess! You have come a long way in a year! Great work!

[bbolam72]

thanks mia

[2ThousandAnd9]

You are really brave for posting this.

I think you still look amazing, and that is just something that proves how much you've changed yourself.

You are awesome and have done so awesome!

I'm so proud and inspired by you!

Take care of yourself and see you in a couple days for that anniversary!

You always amaze me with your bravery and your kindness by showing others your excess skin... but you look great and that is nothing compared to being unhealthy. It is your badge of honor!
