I mean, I would much rather deal with loose skin than continue being a fatass but it's just so disheartening. Maybe it won't be as bad for me. Any other Veeky Forums bros dealing with loose skin after weight loss?
If it makes you feel better, I'm skinny and envious of people who got to eat cake till they ended up at 300 pounds.
The moment I decide I don't want to live anymore, I'll spend my life savings on cake, balloon up for a year and enjoy my food and then shoot myself.
Nah it's never as bad as you think it'll be. The truly horrific loose skin comes from people 500lb+
Plus, the more weight you lose, the better it looks. When you see people with mounds of loose skin, there's usually still a lot of fat in the left to lose.
Believe me, you'll look and feel a million times better with loose skin than you do fat, and if you're seriously concerned, start saving for abdominoplasty now. For the cost of a couple decent holidays, you can have it removed (at least in the UK, fuck knows how ridiculously it's priced in the US. Can't you guys go to Cuba now for surgery?).
This is from personal experience (5'10 285->175). Not having surgery because it's not bad enough to worry about.
Loss weight slower and it's important to note that you will fill out as you begin to lift so it won't be that bad. You might be lucky and not have any loss skin. It will shrink over the year and finally there is surgery and if you worried about the scars advancements in dermatology have led to new treatments that help heal scars and make them visible, or even disappear!
> Can't you guys go to Cuba now for surgery?).
Socialists detected.
I bet you fell for the Michael Moore documentary on Cuban healthcare
No I'm from the UK, I just heard it's cheap in Cuba and you guys lifted the embargo or something?
Some people here go to eastern Europe and get private treatment there. Half the price and twice as good. Maybe that's wrong too? More research is needed.
So without trying to derail the thread, what's going on over there?
I'm surprised I didn't get even fatter with how shit my diet was honestly. I was stuck 300lbs for like 5 years.
My goal right now is to go down to 200, hopefully I'll reach it by next year. Only 70 more pounds to go. Skin removal surgery is anywhere from 5-15K dollars here. I've watchd a couple of this dudes youtube vids and his excess skin doesn't seem too bad at all. He went from 315lbs to about 180lbs
Nah I am Aussie I wouldnt know mate
People go to India and the Philippines for dental care but there have been a few horror stories
> . I was stuck 300lbs for like 5 years.
It's really the prolonged amount of time spent being fat that really stretches the skin out
Any advice from former fatties on how to suppress my appetite?
I found that once I diet and I am hungry when I get some carbs (eg thru a coke) my mood changes
How long until my carvings stop
Been doing this for a day or so now
why in the holy fuck would anyone go to india or flips for dental care or any kind of care is beyond me.
yep!! eastern europe is good I had to friend go to macedonia and kosovo for dental care. A lot of foreign trained doctors with degrees from france, uk and ussr
Also, did you notice your penis looks bigger now that you've lost weight?
I definitely feel mine looks bigger now when I hold it in my hand which is a nice confidence boost
With me it takes a couple days of putting up with hunger and cravings before they both start to subside, stop drinking coke, that'll help, also drink a lot of water with meals, it'll make you feel like you've eaten more than you have.
Usually if I felt hungry I would just eat some fruit like an apple or a banana. Also, I cut out soft drinks completely from my diet. It was tough at first but I don't even crave soda now.
You just have to tough it out for the first week or so and you should be good
thats what I thought Ill stick by it
I wouldnt risk Kosovo or Macedonia either. Hungary or Czech or Poland are good.
Cuban healthcare is actually pretty decent tho, and relatively cheap.
pls respond
My skin is a bit less than that guy
At first I had severe intimacy issues. Blew off alot of chances to get laid because I felt like a fraud. I look amazing in clothes and get complimented daily but without clothes I looked saggy.
After a while I just siad fuck it and hooked up with a girl, ofcourse she would've liked me more without the loose skin but she didn't mind. It was a bigger deal for me than it was for her and we dated for a while. 3 years into not being a fatass and slept with 17 girls (all atleast 6,5's, not gonna lift and look good to start fucking uggos kek) Only once I got rejected. There was a random club slut I took home with me after a party. I told her in advance I lost alot of weight and it's really noticable. She underestimated it and didn't want to fuck anymore. She didn't have money for cabfare and asked me if I could spot her, lol nope. She wanted to crash at my place then and I really wanted to kick her out but I'm not heartless so I let her sleep on the floor.
Later on the cunt told her friends I drugged her and I tried to abuse her.
So in other words, unless it:s really really severe nobody will really mind except you. And if a girl rejects you for it she is most likely a stuck up cunt bitch you want even want to hook up with.
Do you have a lot of loose skin around your legs?
Also, how much weight did you lose?
So you took off your shirt and she said "NOPE"?
What a bitch
Well I had some but it wasn't noticeable when I squatted 2 plates. Had an injury so didn't lift for 6 months and back at 1platelmao so it's back but minor.
I went from 143 kg to 61kg to 78(dat 2 year bulk).
It really isn't attractive but most people make a bigger deal out of it than it is... My gf doesn't mind at all and even thinks it's funny to pull me around with my skin. Even on places you dont notice it the skin is quite elastic and you can pull it.
It's like manlets, they obsess so much on their height that it makes them insecure while people dont really give a fuck.
Exactly kek. I didn't even want to fuck her anymore after that. A cunt like that isn't even worth fucking.
Luckily it wasn't one of my first attempts after the weight loss or she would've obliterated my confidence and made me a permavirgin.
143 kg to 61 is a big drop
How tall are you?
Understand that feel. I was 290+lbs this Feb and have dropped down to 237 as of last wednesday (tomorrow is weigh-in day) which is great and I feel fantastic, but I am starting to worry about the loose stomach skin as the stomach and pubic area seem to be the last areas to drop the weight so far.
Still. Either way, even with loose skin it's better than being fucking fat. Plus if you've got money or a half decent credit-score (I don't really have much of the former after wages and the latter is slowly increasing) you can always opt to pay a few grand towards having the loose skin removed.
Not who're you're asking, I'm And yeah, despite the fact that I've still got a decent hidious amount of pubic fat to get rid of, I've definitely noticed a difference in length as the fat has come off and yup, it's another reason to be happy about the weight-loss and in my case, another reason to keep at it and lose another 50lbs or so.

Also to answer another user.
My dick size went up significantly, used to have a below average dick now it's almost 7 inch, just from losing alot of weight.
Remove all sugars from you diet (soda, coke, candy ect) and start having fruits and carrots instead with you in a backpack and eat those when you get the cravings. I ate a bunch of swedish cracker / crispbread when i got cravings, ended up with rockhard shit but the fibers in it made the cravings stop.
