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
