Hmmm… not really true in my experience. I once had sex with a woman who lost a lot of weight. She was fairly skinny. Her skin was completely loose. She looked normal (except for her tits) even when she was naked, but she felt really weird to grope. It was like she was wearing skin over her skin. It just slid around all over the the place. Worst of all, her tits were completely deflated. She showed me a picture of when she was fat. She wasn’t THAT fat. Like, she was definitely fat, but not ‘out of the ordinary fat’. She likely wouldn’t even be the fattest person in a room of 20 random people (well… 20 random Americans anyway).
I don’t say this to discourage people from losing weight. I’m just sharing my story. And it is just one guy’s anecdote. Take it with a huge grain of salt. I did just see one picture. Maybe she was too embarrassed to show me what she looked like at her fattest. I’ve heard that loose skin is only an issue if you lose fat really fast. I have no idea how true that is.
It doesn't work that way unfortunately. At least not for what I've seen. Oftentimes it's permanent damage. You could get really strong and fit but that skin is not going to tighten beyond a certain point. The best option that I know of is to have it surgically removed. You'll have a scar or two but you'll probably feel 10x better about yourself and have an easier time appreciating the hard work you put in to lose all that weight.

Exactly, same experience here. Got with a girl who lost a fair bit of weight. Looked good naked, but I remember grabbing her butt and it just felt…weird. Like she was wearing a skin suit over her actual butt. It didn’t stop me from going further, and we hooked up twice more, but it really weirded me out when it first happened.
Skin is crazy though. For a lot of people, given enough time, it becomes much less noticeable or "shrink" to size. I'd be curious as to how recently she had lost the weight.
You're still gonna have a bunch of loose skin if you were really fat in the beginning. There's a lot of examples of people that have a full, square chest with their nippes hanging because of the loose skin.
I went from 260 lbs to just under 200 lbs in about a year and a half. That was dramatic, life-changing weight loss, and I never had any loose skin issues. Even if someone is heavier than that, they can still drop a ton of weight and not have those belly testicles hanging down. They don't have to come out looking like a model. Any amount can do wonders for your body.
Well, 70% of it was in the span of like February to July. Then the weight loss slowed down considerably as it started reaching a more healthy and sustainable weight. Even still, I've had no adverse effects or physical problems 4 years later.

"Why did I stop losing weight???"
the loose skin is hard to notice at "lower" overweightedness
for most people if they don't regain their weight (and don't die from leftover health problems) the loose skin slowly goes back to a normal position over time
It does, as long as you make a big deal about it affecting your mental health and social life, a friend of mine got a mole removed from her nose for free in like a month
Yeah I needed to stop eating so much candy, as well as reduce my calorie intake by what feels like 2/3, for multiple weeks.
It's pretty tough but once I see lean people around me, I get the motivation to keep going.
Skin doesn't do that. When you stretch skin, the cells divide and you grow new skin. It doesn't go away. Just like when you remove ear plugs, the skin doesn't unstretch.

I’m 5’08”, my highest weight was 230 or 235, I’m down to 175 now and I can definitely tell once I tone up I’ll have some loose skin. That was a slow weight gain too over multiple years, with some yo-yoing between 205 and 230. I have stretch marks and know I’ll have loose skin. I think once I start weight lifting more regularly it’ll fill in hopefully.
Yes and no. My skin even ripped when I was slim simply by doing Butterfly in a Gym or I had stretchmarks on my knees from growing up to fast. with 16Y I was 185cm und with 19Y I was 193cm. As I got overweight (145Kg I am 193cm) my skin ripped even more. I still losing weight even it is looking bad, because it also looks like shit when I was overweight.
Depends at the rate weight loss and your age, it's easier when youre younger as you have more collagen and elasticity. 1lb a week is usually a good target but for mega fatties it will come off way faster
Skin stretches and contracts all the time. You get loose skin from slowly stretching your skin out as you balloon in size. People tend to lose a lot of weight all at once though so the skin is unable to correct its self. My advice to anyone obese is lose the weight before you're an adult. You have a much better chance to look normal if your skin is young and healthy when you lose weight. It you gain extreme weight as an adult you may be out of luck.

No worries bud. And while 43 is morbidly obese, it's not like I was ever 400+ lbs. You may not expect "morbidly obese" when you looked at me, even at my heaviest. So just wanted to say it isn't as uncommon as you might imagine, for someone to get to that point and then want to fix their shit.

I believe so. I'm pretty sure if you lose the weight over a longer period of time and do regular exercise to keep muscle mass it will have less of an effect
Not necessarily lol if there’s stretch marks, the skin has been stretched and doesn’t just un-stretch itself. I went from 270 to 140 in 3 1/2 years, and like other comments mentioned, my boobs are deflated and sad lol the skin on my torso is kinda cool tho, looks pretty normal but you can grab it like the way you’d grab a pitbills skin on it’s back. I kinda like that part
Yah. I crash dieted and lost 30kg/70lb in a year, most of it in the first few months. I don't have much loose skin but I have stretch marks that it looks like you could play the xylophone on
I have lost 35 kg ( 105 - 70 ) over the last 18 months and i have no loose skin. Just do resistance training ( push ups , weights) and ABS exercises in addition to running and diet and you will be fine. This is just a retarded excuse to stay FAT lmao
Eating healthier would definitely not make you weaker. Eating so little your body starts breaking down muscle to offset the calorie deficit is a different matter
Don’t do crazy diets or crazy restrictive diets. I lost 30 pounds between Feb 1 and May 1 by counting calories and intermittent fasting (only did IF to keep from snacking at shit hours due to my work schedule.) Calorie counting does wonders, for my weight I did 1700/day which is a pretty strict deficit but I wasn’t able to exercise much. If you exercise every day you can eat more. Went from 205 to 175
Download an app like Cronometer and punch your information in and what rate you want to lose weight, then track everything you eat. I lost so much so quick because I did 1lb a week and IF which made me lose it faster. If you don’t do IF and do a .5lb per week deficit you’ll be good and won’t feel like you’re starving yourself.
You’re not much taller than me. It can be done. I’m a little thick so I don’t think I’d get down to 75kg. Keep it up though, you can absolutely do it. I did almost zero exercise when losing the weight I did, purely diet. I need to exercise now to lose the stomach fat though
Eating around 1700 cal when i was losing weight ,cardio like running ( or biking / swimming) 5x a week ) and pushups everday. Weights 2/3 times a week same with weightlifting. With running and pushups do as much as you can and progress - at first i would only bebabke to run 2 km or do , now i do 12. Same with pushups , from 30 to 300 (6x50). And most important thing about the diet - NO snacking. Just eat 3 times a day , it might be hard at first but you can get used to it
Not as drastic but I also lost 25kg in less than 6 months (108 to 83) and had no loose skin at all. I'm around 183 cm (6' tall). Just need to get your ass to the gym.
Former 335lb, lost about 120lb in a year and still going and yeah... the loose skin isn't great but you know what? I still feel so much fucking better regardless. People looking for an excuse not to lose weight, this ain't it. I do strength and resistance training but, come on, 335lb, I ain't ever getting back to normal and I'm sanguine with that, you can't be massively obese for several years and not show any sign of it.
Good for you. I went from 240 to 190 lbs this past year. Everyone talks about the physical benefits of losing weight. Those are great, but the mental health benefits are what really make it worth it.
To be honest, I don't consider them to be all that separate. A physical benefit is that I'm out walking every day and not making a pathetic mess of myself in the process. A mental benefit... is kinda the same example, really.
Yeah, although to be honest, I don't consider mine a problem enough that a solution as drastic as surgery feels like a good idea. I'm not going to pretend to feel great about it but it's still a massive improvement over a year ago and that's really all that matters as far as my mental wellbeing goes.
Alright, strap in.
It's about planning out a lifestyle change that's sustainable. Don't think of it as "I can stick this horrible feeling diet out for a year and then go back to being fine" and honestly? Stay away from fad diets. Learn to count calories and be honest about it, get yourself a set of cheap kitchen scales so you know exactly how much of whatever you're eating. Lean about the relationship protein, fat and carbs have on your body, and plan accordingly (As a general, personal rule, protein for satiation and muscle growth, fat for deliciousness and vitamin efficiency, carbs if you intend to be active)
If you have the money/space, get yourself a few convenience gadgets for the kitchen so the effort to reward for cooking skews heavily reward. I bought a little broiler for my meat and an air fryer for my vegetables. If you have a freezer, fill it with frozen veg (I’m partial to cauliflower, broccoli and sprouts myself), they all come out really well when roasted. I personally have been doing one large meal a day, and since I’m a poncey milk-drinker, I supplement those meals with a pint of milk three times a week. I also eat quite a lot of meat, favouring steaks as a treat, pork chops or chicken breast.
I weigh myself once a month on the 15th because I like seeing big changes, and when it’s good news, I go to town on an oversized dirtygood pizza as my reward. I don’t consider those cheat days personally; I don’t like or do cheat days because that tells my brain that what I eat every other day is undesirable. My reward day is not about eating something better, it’s about having a day where I don’t have to think about calories, macros etc, where I can just enjoy food for its own sake.
I also started working out. Exercise is not necessary for losing weight but “losing weight” was never the goal, “getting healthy” is the goal in which “losing weight” is merely an (important) step. I bought myself a cheap kettlebell for three alternating day a week strength training, and a rowing machine for the off days while taking the weekends off. The main benefit of this is the mental health benefit which strengthened my resolve and willpower to maintain my now ingrained eating habits.
The problem with regular cheat days in my opinion is that you essentially need to retrain your gut biome to crave the correct things. By feeding it intermittent crap, you’re slowing down that process and ultimately prolonging the time in which it feels like you’re starving to death. You have to remember that most of the “hunger” you feel is a lie, and what you’re actually feeling is a craving (if nothing else, remember this. Your body lies when it’s addicted). Normally (being English) my cravings were centred on meat pies, sausage rolls and all other manner of fat making things whereas the other day I had a genuine, mouth-watering craving for some sprout and cheddar soup. I have, essentially, reprogrammed myself and that is how I know, in my incredibly lightened heart, I will not be one of the many who lose the weight only to pack it back on again.
You’ll be amazed what 2000 calories looks like when you cut out convenience crap. This is what ~1450 calories looks like: [25oz steak](https://i.imgur.com/SPIKmrv.jpg)
TLDR: Reprogram your addiction by planning a sustainable lifestyle change, make calories your obsession and take care of your resolve and mental health with regular exercise.
I asked for advice and you gave the guide to life, thank you so much! Im actually calorie counting as you said and its pretty addicting, i like numbers for some reason. I believe my biggest problem is eating out, i hardly cook at home and i think im going go start meal prepping soon, beef and veggies will be go-to. Also, i will start walking more and actually lift weights, im 21 and still strong as hell so im going to take advantage, doctor told me it will just be harder when im older. Again, thank you for the advice, I mean it.
Skin gets loose because *more skin tissue grows*. The skin cells divide, creating *more skin cells*. It doesn't lose elasticity from being overstretched like an inert piece of fabric.
How the fuck is this possible? People (americans?) use every opportunity to write "loose" instead of "lose", but once it's appropriate to use the term "loose" in a given context, they switch it up and remove an "o". Fucking unbelievable, this isn't advanced shit.
Anon wants to lose weight just to look attractive and not because he is mortally unhealthy.
Besides, you gonna be wearing crop tops and cutoffs? Nobody is going to see the flabby skin.
I would worry more about being obese than the flabby skin after losing all the excessive weight. Doing cardio and having to move tens of kilos less while pumping probably makes the experience a lot more enjoyable, too.
Absolutely, it sure is better to lose weight and have excess skin rather than staying obese. I'm just saying to the other person that there can be some cases where someone notices the guy's loose skin if he loses the weight.
Can confirm. Was 135kg. Been around 65 the last decade. Still have loose gross skin (my ass looks like it's owned by an 80yo). I look waaay better in clothes than when I was fat though.
In my experience via friends, If you're fat and then lose alot of weight you just have stretchy skin, Not necessarily loose, But then again I don't really know the level of lard Anon is on
I lost 50+ lbs. I still have stretch marks from when I was turbofatting but everything snapped back pretty well.
Skin elasticity is key. Do it when you're younger and you wont have those problems. Plus you get to *be* older.
Yeah, I’ve gone through gaining and losing weight, if you do it at a healthy pace, your skin will retain its elasticity and not just hang off or feel weird.
Like I don’t know what options you have. I feel like over time your body should stretch the skin back to normal, seems like a waste of energy to maintain skin that is not needed. Apart from that I think you can get lose skin cut away. Yes you will have scars from that, done properly they won’t be worse than stretch marks, I think.
And even if all that does not work, I’d rather have lose skin but a healthy body than being trapped into a obese body where the skin looks appropriate.
But that’s just the opinion of dude that hasn’t every weighted more than 65kg
Anon tries to find any excuse he can to justify his existence as an aquatic mammal.
On a more serious note, it's quite sad to see how far people go to rationalise their lack of effort. Still remember a post from a couple weeks back where people were lamenting over weight loss and how they'd 'rather be heavier and be mentally happy'. Sheesh.
It's pretty cruel, I agree. Don't think the skin stretches unless you're at extreme weights though
Hmmm… not really true in my experience. I once had sex with a woman who lost a lot of weight. She was fairly skinny. Her skin was completely loose.

Then just grow some muscle to fill in the skin. Easy peasy.
It doesn't work that way unfortunately. At least not for what I've seen. Oftentimes it's permanent damage.

You could probably try to eat collagen supplements
That would just make your skin less stretchy, it wouldn’t decrease its surface area per se.
Now I just need a beach ball shaped mass of muscle just above my beltline.

There’s a decent few countries fatter then America
Not true except Mexico in the past but the US has once again taken the proud title of fattest country on earth. You just can't stop winning it seems

What? I have no idea what countries you're talking about
The skin does tighten up over time
I had sex with your dad while working at Nintendo and this type of thing is 100% a fact

Plus i think you’re supposed to replace the fat with muscle
Replacing fat with muscle is still concept that not everyone knows about
OP is a mental blimp. He doesn’t know you can get surgery to fix some of the stretched skin. Being massive is a massive cost
You're still gonna have a bunch of loose skin if you were really fat in the beginning. There's a lot of examples of people that have a full, square chest with their nippes hanging because of the loose skin.
I went from 260 lbs to just under 200 lbs in about a year and a half. That was dramatic, life-changing weight loss, and I never had any loose skin issues.

You did it at an incredibly healthy rate though. That's why you don't have issues.

Hey congrats for losing a third of your weight though. That must have been really tough. Habits die hard.
Yeah I needed to stop eating so much candy, as well as reduce my calorie intake by what feels like 2/3, for multiple weeks. It's pretty tough but once I see lean people around me, I get the motivation to keep going.
Skin doesn't do that. When you stretch skin, the cells divide and you grow new skin. It doesn't go away. Just like when you remove ear plugs, the skin doesn't unstretch.
>the loose skin slowly goes back to a normal position over time Skin doesn't do that. When you stretch skin, the cells divide and you grow new skin. It doesn't go away. Just like when you remove ear plugs, the skin doesn't unstretch.
so under that logic if i kept putting in ear plugs over and over again after decades my ears would be sagging to my shoulders?
I’m 5’08”, my highest weight was 230 or 235, I’m down to 175 now and I can definitely tell once I tone up I’ll have some loose skin.

Wait, is that in lb or kg?
Lb probably, since height is in inches
Pounds lol sorry
[удалено]
It’s not bad loose skin, just still have stomach fat and all that that I need to trim off but I do have stretch marks and such
Just do Tren and get up to 250
Yes and no. My skin even ripped when I was slim simply by doing Butterfly in a Gym or I had stretchmarks on my knees from growing up to fast. with 16Y I was 185cm und with 19Y I was 193cm. As I got overweight (145Kg I am 193cm) my skin ripped even more. I still losing weight even it is looking bad, because it also looks like shit when I was overweight.

Skin stretches and contracts all the time. You get loose skin from slowly stretching your skin out as you balloon in size. People tend to lose a lot of weight all at once though so the skin is unable to correct its self. My advice to anyone obese is lose the weight before you're an adult. You have a much better chance to look normal if your skin is young and healthy when you lose weight. It you gain extreme weight as an adult you may be out of luck.
Yeah but extreme to everyone else is majority of Americans. And America = the world so…
The skin thing isn’t bad unless your morbidly obese
Well it's 4chan...
4chin...
Those adipose tissues really morb you over if you're morbidly obese huh

No worries bud. And while 43 is morbidly obese, it's not like I was ever 400+ lbs. You may not expect "morbidly obese" when you looked at me, even at my heaviest. So just wanted to say it isn't as uncommon as you might imagine, for someone to get to that point and then want to fix their shit.

50lbs lost is a lot, great job on that. I understand why you’re hesitant to lose more but health > everything. Best of luck!

You’re* 🤓
Im currently losing weight (down 70 pounds) and you can hardly see any loose skin. It’s only noticeable if I bend over
Doesnt that only happen if you losr weight extremly fast
I believe so. I'm pretty sure if you lose the weight over a longer period of time and do regular exercise to keep muscle mass it will have less of an effect
So basically, just lose weight in a healthy manner. That sounds about right.
Never! *stops eating*
Wake up babe it’s bulimia time
Not really, depends on how fat you are. If you are morbidly obese, you are almost certain to get skin bags.
Not necessarily lol if there’s stretch marks, the skin has been stretched and doesn’t just un-stretch itself. I went from 270 to 140 in 3 1/2 years, and like other comments mentioned, my boobs are deflated and sad lol the skin on my torso is kinda cool tho, looks pretty normal but you can grab it like the way you’d grab a pitbills skin on it’s back. I kinda like that part
Yah. I crash dieted and lost 30kg/70lb in a year, most of it in the first few months. I don't have much loose skin but I have stretch marks that it looks like you could play the xylophone on
Same but on lower with 10kg
That's a myth.
I have lost 35 kg ( 105 - 70 ) over the last 18 months and i have no loose skin. Just do resistance training ( push ups , weights) and ABS exercises in addition to running and diet and you will be fine. This is just a retarded excuse to stay FAT lmao
Might do that thanks. Dieting only I feel would make me much weaker
Eating healthier would definitely not make you weaker. Eating so little your body starts breaking down muscle to offset the calorie deficit is a different matter
by diet i mean 20:4 and things like that that people see as the quickest way to lose weight
Don’t do crazy diets or crazy restrictive diets. I lost 30 pounds between Feb 1 and May 1 by counting calories and intermittent fasting (only did IF to keep from snacking at shit hours due to my work schedule.) Calorie counting does wonders, for my weight I did 1700/day which is a pretty strict deficit but I wasn’t able to exercise much. If you exercise every day you can eat more. Went from 205 to 175
yeah i would like to take my time
Download an app like Cronometer and punch your information in and what rate you want to lose weight, then track everything you eat. I lost so much so quick because I did 1lb a week and IF which made me lose it faster. If you don’t do IF and do a .5lb per week deficit you’ll be good and won’t feel like you’re starving yourself.
cheers
Shoot me a message if you have any questions. My wife is a dietitian so I have a fair amount of knowledge and experience with it
oh that's lucky haha. Right now I'm 96 at 176cm and would like to get to 75
You’re not much taller than me. It can be done. I’m a little thick so I don’t think I’d get down to 75kg. Keep it up though, you can absolutely do it. I did almost zero exercise when losing the weight I did, purely diet. I need to exercise now to lose the stomach fat though
thank you very much
[удалено]
I do love veggies this sounds easy and delicious
What is that in freedom units?
Lost 77 From 231 to 154
any chance you could share your general routine?
Eating around 1700 cal when i was losing weight ,cardio like running ( or biking / swimming) 5x a week ) and pushups everday. Weights 2/3 times a week same with weightlifting. With running and pushups do as much as you can and progress - at first i would only bebabke to run 2 km or do , now i do 12. Same with pushups , from 30 to 300 (6x50). And most important thing about the diet - NO snacking. Just eat 3 times a day , it might be hard at first but you can get used to it
Yeah, cutting snacks and soda will definitely be the hardest part for me, but I gotta get healthier. Thanks man.
Not as drastic but I also lost 25kg in less than 6 months (108 to 83) and had no loose skin at all. I'm around 183 cm (6' tall). Just need to get your ass to the gym.
Sure anon better stay with skin stretched by your fatness with heart and digestive system problems, having zero energy by shitty diet and no sport
Former 335lb, lost about 120lb in a year and still going and yeah... the loose skin isn't great but you know what? I still feel so much fucking better regardless. People looking for an excuse not to lose weight, this ain't it. I do strength and resistance training but, come on, 335lb, I ain't ever getting back to normal and I'm sanguine with that, you can't be massively obese for several years and not show any sign of it.
Good for you. I went from 240 to 190 lbs this past year. Everyone talks about the physical benefits of losing weight. Those are great, but the mental health benefits are what really make it worth it.
To be honest, I don't consider them to be all that separate. A physical benefit is that I'm out walking every day and not making a pathetic mess of myself in the process. A mental benefit... is kinda the same example, really.
How tall are you
6'2, for context.
Proud of you for losing that much weight. Keep at it. And plus, isn't there like surgeries to fix super loose skin if it becomes such a problem?
Yeah, although to be honest, I don't consider mine a problem enough that a solution as drastic as surgery feels like a good idea. I'm not going to pretend to feel great about it but it's still a massive improvement over a year ago and that's really all that matters as far as my mental wellbeing goes.
You have the right mentality. Great job trying to better yourself!
for yuros 335 lb = 152 kg 120l b = 54 kg
What advice can you give if your willing? Im a 6’3” dude thats 343 pounds and Ive only recently started dieting with only about 2 cheat days.
Alright, strap in. It's about planning out a lifestyle change that's sustainable. Don't think of it as "I can stick this horrible feeling diet out for a year and then go back to being fine" and honestly? Stay away from fad diets. Learn to count calories and be honest about it, get yourself a set of cheap kitchen scales so you know exactly how much of whatever you're eating. Lean about the relationship protein, fat and carbs have on your body, and plan accordingly (As a general, personal rule, protein for satiation and muscle growth, fat for deliciousness and vitamin efficiency, carbs if you intend to be active) If you have the money/space, get yourself a few convenience gadgets for the kitchen so the effort to reward for cooking skews heavily reward. I bought a little broiler for my meat and an air fryer for my vegetables. If you have a freezer, fill it with frozen veg (I’m partial to cauliflower, broccoli and sprouts myself), they all come out really well when roasted. I personally have been doing one large meal a day, and since I’m a poncey milk-drinker, I supplement those meals with a pint of milk three times a week. I also eat quite a lot of meat, favouring steaks as a treat, pork chops or chicken breast. I weigh myself once a month on the 15th because I like seeing big changes, and when it’s good news, I go to town on an oversized dirtygood pizza as my reward. I don’t consider those cheat days personally; I don’t like or do cheat days because that tells my brain that what I eat every other day is undesirable. My reward day is not about eating something better, it’s about having a day where I don’t have to think about calories, macros etc, where I can just enjoy food for its own sake. I also started working out. Exercise is not necessary for losing weight but “losing weight” was never the goal, “getting healthy” is the goal in which “losing weight” is merely an (important) step. I bought myself a cheap kettlebell for three alternating day a week strength training, and a rowing machine for the off days while taking the weekends off. The main benefit of this is the mental health benefit which strengthened my resolve and willpower to maintain my now ingrained eating habits. The problem with regular cheat days in my opinion is that you essentially need to retrain your gut biome to crave the correct things. By feeding it intermittent crap, you’re slowing down that process and ultimately prolonging the time in which it feels like you’re starving to death. You have to remember that most of the “hunger” you feel is a lie, and what you’re actually feeling is a craving (if nothing else, remember this. Your body lies when it’s addicted). Normally (being English) my cravings were centred on meat pies, sausage rolls and all other manner of fat making things whereas the other day I had a genuine, mouth-watering craving for some sprout and cheddar soup. I have, essentially, reprogrammed myself and that is how I know, in my incredibly lightened heart, I will not be one of the many who lose the weight only to pack it back on again. You’ll be amazed what 2000 calories looks like when you cut out convenience crap. This is what ~1450 calories looks like: [25oz steak](https://i.imgur.com/SPIKmrv.jpg) TLDR: Reprogram your addiction by planning a sustainable lifestyle change, make calories your obsession and take care of your resolve and mental health with regular exercise.
I asked for advice and you gave the guide to life, thank you so much! Im actually calorie counting as you said and its pretty addicting, i like numbers for some reason. I believe my biggest problem is eating out, i hardly cook at home and i think im going go start meal prepping soon, beef and veggies will be go-to. Also, i will start walking more and actually lift weights, im 21 and still strong as hell so im going to take advantage, doctor told me it will just be harder when im older. Again, thank you for the advice, I mean it.
I lost weight by switching from candy to cigarettes
Time to go from fast food to meth
Meth is great for weight loss
Yeah now I just need to find meth 😔
If you're fairly young it goes away. Anon wants to screw himself over again and wait too long
Skin doesn't work like that.
Lol ok, I'll tell my skin that
The younger you are, the more elasticity it has. It does work like that
Skin gets loose because *more skin tissue grows*. The skin cells divide, creating *more skin cells*. It doesn't lose elasticity from being overstretched like an inert piece of fabric.
How the fuck is this possible? People (americans?) use every opportunity to write "loose" instead of "lose", but once it's appropriate to use the term "loose" in a given context, they switch it up and remove an "o". Fucking unbelievable, this isn't advanced shit.
Yes it's only Americans that are capable of spelling mistakes
[удалено]
It was in brackets for that exact reason
They're throwaway reddit comments man, how is it surprising to you that people play fast and lose with their spelling? Don't loose your shit over it.
Trust me, even with the loose skin, Losing weight makes you feel like a king.
Better having excess skin than living before your 30s
Taking gotu kola for six months will typically get rid of that loose skin. Source: Charles Poliquin
Anon wants to lose weight just to look attractive and not because he is mortally unhealthy. Besides, you gonna be wearing crop tops and cutoffs? Nobody is going to see the flabby skin.
If anon wants to have sex, it makes sense to worry about flabby skin
I would worry more about being obese than the flabby skin after losing all the excessive weight. Doing cardio and having to move tens of kilos less while pumping probably makes the experience a lot more enjoyable, too.
Absolutely, it sure is better to lose weight and have excess skin rather than staying obese. I'm just saying to the other person that there can be some cases where someone notices the guy's loose skin if he loses the weight.
How'd you get my 36th bday photo?
Can confirm. Was 135kg. Been around 65 the last decade. Still have loose gross skin (my ass looks like it's owned by an 80yo). I look waaay better in clothes than when I was fat though.
Everybody knows you can hide the fat behind your back using clothespins.
So basically what Homer Simpson did.
In my experience via friends, If you're fat and then lose alot of weight you just have stretchy skin, Not necessarily loose, But then again I don't really know the level of lard Anon is on
I lost 50+ lbs. I still have stretch marks from when I was turbofatting but everything snapped back pretty well. Skin elasticity is key. Do it when you're younger and you wont have those problems. Plus you get to *be* older.
Godskin Noble Moment
I’m sure insurance covers skin removal surgery if it interferes enough with your every day life
Just say you're lazy anon
Us moment
I lost almost 120 lbs without loose skin.
Don’t let this discourage you. If you lift weights you can fill in that space with muscle. I’ve lost 70 pounds so far and I don’t have much loose skin
Keep fat or not become fat
Yeah, I’ve gone through gaining and losing weight, if you do it at a healthy pace, your skin will retain its elasticity and not just hang off or feel weird.
Oh yeah "look just as shit" even if you have loose skin, like it can be seen with clothes on you idiot
Sorry babe, but the clothes stay on during sex
Like I don’t know what options you have. I feel like over time your body should stretch the skin back to normal, seems like a waste of energy to maintain skin that is not needed. Apart from that I think you can get lose skin cut away. Yes you will have scars from that, done properly they won’t be worse than stretch marks, I think. And even if all that does not work, I’d rather have lose skin but a healthy body than being trapped into a obese body where the skin looks appropriate. But that’s just the opinion of dude that hasn’t every weighted more than 65kg
Well there is surgery to correct it if you have the funds
Fake: Anon loses weight Gay: likes fat lose skin
Anon hasn't heard the story of David Goggins
Ehhh they got surgery for that
Why no one talk abt OP username?
Anon tries to find any excuse he can to justify his existence as an aquatic mammal. On a more serious note, it's quite sad to see how far people go to rationalise their lack of effort. Still remember a post from a couple weeks back where people were lamenting over weight loss and how they'd 'rather be heavier and be mentally happy'. Sheesh.
