Just so I have my information correct.

[Helpmeoutplease]

I already know how to eat correctly. Do you not know what excess skin is?

Do you see that?

This is what 20% bodyfat looks like without the excess skin

Notice the difference? One can diet down and one has to go through surgery to have it removed.. I don't want to waste 11k on surgery.

I have edited your post, you may want to read our rules. *admin*


BTW you state you already know how to eat correctly, if so, why when you post what you have been eating does it not sound like it... bags of chips hamburgers etc. is not a sound diet...



Now that said, if you are in the condition you have posted above on your link than I am sorry but your options really are limited. I think you need to diet for sure as well as seek medical advise on this, the person in the link still has a large amount of body fat to lose from the stomach area not just skin.

Love having admin mixing it up in the diet section!!!

OP, he's right - alot of people who say they "know how to eat" and have "tried everything to no avail" THINK they have, but haven't. Suggest you try to be a bit more open minded and give diet and exercise another try prior to spending a ton of cash on surgery, and/or potentially fvcking yourself up with 'enhancements'. Remember, in your past/failed endeavors, you didn't have the support of this board. That has made the difference for alot of people, just ask around!

BTW - I understand your dilemma, I was 255lbs at 30% + bodyfat at one point, and dieted down (fast and improperly) to a low of 178lbs at my lowest (5'11 btw). Also have loose skin, etc. Before you consider surgery, you need to diet down and shed as much bodyfat as possible. Only then will you REALLY be able to distinguish between what's actual bodyfat, and what's simply loose skin.

I hope you'll reconsider and listen to our advice...

Right there with you - I went (improperly fast at the expense of muscle) from 235 to 160 at one point.

OP, how much weight did you lose? Can you post a shot of yourself? How tall are you, and what do you weigh now?
