My 2 Year 200 LB Weight Loss Transformation Journey: https://youtu.be/9q0SYEU0KHI
This video covers my 2 year weight loss journey. I started out at 408 lbs, and I dieted down to 200 lbs, and currently I am around 218 lbs. Lost over 200 lbs over the course of this journey. I discuss my weight loss methods, my mindset and how it affected me psychologically, and how I ultimately developed an eating disorder and body image issues.

Awesome! Serious question, does skin tighten back up naturally or do you have to remove it?
Zakk22
You will still feel amazing

Depends on your age, hydration, starting weight, length of time at highest weight, amount of time at lowest, and sheer luck.
Dawaddy
Supposedly over a long period of time the skin will tighten, especially if I increase my lean body mass enough.
FunwithWorms
Seriously though great work.

He's doing a great job with his training to regain elasticity. But i don't think the skin would be fully recover naturally. Luckily he 1/?

have not a real fat apron so he wouldn't need a big amount of surgery to remove it.

Yeah boyyyy-eee!

Keep after it mate,

Looks like your regaining some of the elasticity is your skin. Awesome job!

I'd even be willing - dare say - contribute to a GoFundMe to help him finalize this with skin surgery if he qualifies.

Gastric bypass surgery
originalBabewiththePower
I've had gastric bypass... he doesn't have the scars on his stomach. Not that it should matter.
Pyrostasis
Oddly enough op and my mother (Im his brother) both got lap band surgery. Didnt fix the issue. Gastric may be a bit different
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
Lifting weights helps with this a lot. More so while losing the weight but helps after as well.
Pyrostasis
He did and does do a ton of weight lifting.
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
... Which is probably why the elasticity is coming back to his skin.
theelvesoflothlorien
How are you doing with the eating disorder now, OP?
Panamajack9
I'm gonna go with gastric bypass surgery
remembergoliad
And how, exactly, did he have that surgery and have no scars?
Dawaddy
It's a daily struggle, I am currently focusing on increasing my calories gradually so that I don't gain too quickly.
theelvesoflothlorien
Doing therapy?
saltyPopcornkitty

You know what would make a great post.... how you did it.

I explained my process in the video, I know it's long but I think it's worth it if you have the time. :)

I swear to the Imgur Gods there was no video link when I posted

When he first posted he was still editing the post, we're imguring newbies.

How do you figure men can get away with it easier? Genuinely curious
