Don't take this a creepy way. If you are selling all that excess skin, i always wanted a skin coat

Never tried grilling my Faygo before!

Havocme
WTH is a "Faygo?" Congo rats on the weight loss, may it stay off for as long as you take it. :)
MegHansureisshort
It's a soda...er...pop brand brand pretty specific to us michiganders! Delicious, diabteetus inducing stuff.
Havocme
Soda was right. Pop is what my joints do now. :P
MegHansureisshort
Soda is right, but most people here are on the "pop" wagon. We're an odd bunch.

Same shirt both pics?

Bravo my meng. As a non stick figure dude near 6 and half feet tall I'm familiar with rocking the multipleX LT sized dickies shirts

Linnabelle
Superb job! Just one question... of all the things to be grilling, why grape faygo? XD
Judhael
Must be a Detroiter...Faygo BBQ is every Thursday night. Great with a splash of cilantro and vinegar on it.

Lol was Cola. Haven’t touched pop in 22 months thankfully (my biggest issue)
Canofminus
Nice. I was going to asked if you cut that garbage out of you life.
LostAndFound69
@OP, were you hungry a lot during the weight loss phase? And are you hungry a lot in maintenance?
derringermeryl
I just started seeing a doctor to help with my weight loss and the biggest thing has been eating a lot more protein and not starting /1
derringermeryl
the day with major carbs. For example no oatmeal or bananas for breakfast. I’ve been doing eggs and either cottage cheese or Greek yogurt./2
derringermeryl
It’s helped a lot with being hungry. If I do get hungry I just grab a protein bar(power crunch is the best IMO) or a protein shake.
oksuggestions
You mean you get less hungry later if you don't take in carbs in the morning? Just want to check if I got that right
derringermeryl
Yes! I’m guessing it has to do with blood sugar being more even but that’s just a shot in the dark. Plus protein provides increased satiety.
GriffGetsFit
Hungrier now more than I was during. I had a lot stored in my so my body ate it lol
OnePunchTinMan
Any surgery or pure diet as you said. You did amazing !
LostAndFound69
Dang man. Props for gutting through it. I hope that goes away soon in a new homeostasis

He's playing Dark souls. Went from heavy fat armor build new game. Now he's in NG++++++ the armor was in the way.

Hey I’ll take Steve-O lol
Illthinkofausernamelater
Sober SteveO actually looks pretty great.
Bananasandwiches42
Sobriety has made him humble and wise. My fav story of him was when he rescued an abandoned street dog. Melted my heart!
Illthinkofausernamelater
Wendy the wonder dog. That was a great story.

Oh no bIg Jackass fan lol
Fattbeard
Quick question. I'm starting my journey to lose weight but I'm nervous about the loose skin. How bad did it get for you? Any advice?
Thisbefluff
dated a guy that lost a lot of weight. He was self conscious & kept a compression tank on in the bedroom. It was honestly no big deal to me
notreallythatunpopularopinionrabbit
Not saying anything about losing weight, just here to say how awesome you all are supporting Fattbeard. Quality stuff happening here.
RideTheStimutacs
Buddy of mine went from 600+ to 270, and honestly he says just get the skin surgery if you can afford it.
ByThePowerInjestedInMe
do it
RedOnTheHeadFireInTheBed
Me too! My biggest fear!
boogiemanspud
I just think of it as battle scars. Lost 150lbs and there's a little bit, but your body feels so much better, almost euphoric really.
BattleBorn84
Moisturize!!!! I went from 145 to 90 kilos and i have no loose skin. Also, weightlifting so you dont get batwings under your arms
iwishjtmoneywasstillavailableitsmyoldvideogamemoniker
@Fattbeard lose the weight, the loose skin sucks but being extremely overweight sucks worse.
baconnotham
So true , 140lbs down here . Don t worry about lose skin worry about full skin ..loose skin really isn't a problem and certainly not an excu

It would be cool if Imgur could get behind gofundme’s for skin surgery removal. I feel weird donating to individuals because you never >

I’m rooting for u @Fattbeard
FuturismFanboy
I've lost about 175 pounds so far, down from 400, but my man I'm sad to say its a gamble. I have a lot of loose skin. It's gonna stick 1/?
FuturismFanboy

enough skin its just gonna stay. It may go in a few years, I've yet to see that, but it might. If its very excessive, surgery will be 3/
FuturismFanboy
solution. Sucks if it's that way but until then, just worry bout gettin healthy chum. Trust me, it's easier every day 4/4
FlyingMonkeyButt
Lots of water, work on putting muscle into areas where sagging to help fill it out. Other than that it’s really a genetic lottery. Good luck
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Yep, women have to deal with this when they have babies (on a lesser scale than OP obviously). My babies were huge and that extra skin is /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
probably never going away. It is what it is. Supposedly if you lose weight slowly, the skin has a better chance at decreasing along with /2
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
the weight. Not an option during childbirth, of course. /3
GriffGetsFit
Ah honestly man I have a good 20-30 pounds of lose skin. It is what it is. Would I rather have the lose skin than the 475 pounds back? 100%

GriffGetsFit
Thanks will look into it for sure
cardinal29
It's not a good enough excuse to not loose weight. I see this posted often. IF, autophagy is supposed to help.
spitbubbles
I’m nearly 170 down and the loose skin is 100% worth it. I don’t feel that way all the time, but most of the time I don’t care to much.
iemusic51
Which means you're not far away from another 20-30 lb loss.
ArchSchnitz
I agree with you, Op. I lost a lot less, but had a good amount of excess skin. I'd never trade back, though. I got a lot taken off later.
ChewyChewbacca88
Do a Homer Simpson and bull dog clip it all behind your back.
dudedude09
This is the perfect response bro. Get healthy, Stay healthy!
GriffGetsFit
Amen dude
mnloggerman
Yeah loose skin seems like the least of my worries, this is a phenomenal job!
GriffGetsFit
Yea grand scheme of things its good but it can bother me sometimes for sure. I would be a size or 2 clothes size smaller which would be nice

Can you like... Sell the loose skin for research/grafts/handbags?

Replicas of the spell book from Hocus Pocus

I do leather binding...

I sure hope you're putting the lotion on the skin before you get the hose again.

Oh Shit! What was the dogs name? Princess?
palonewabone
Sounds right. no time to research, sorry.
DrFighterpilotAttorneyAtLaw
Can you eat it for nutrients? Like when I shed?
2graves
You could..

GriffGetsFit
I am hoping to donate it to or a burn center or something similar. The procedure is very expensive and very painful
Gamerdragon
They should do it for free or a big discount if you donate. They're sure as hell gonna charge a arm and a leg to the people who receive it
Bowchickameowmeoww
Shit that should mean they do it for free esp if they’re gonna sell it at crazy prices to help those in need
PoIluticorn
Wow! Dude I didn't even know that was a thing. What a rare and amazing thing to be able to donate. I'd throw a few bucks at your gofund me.
DiminishingCapacity
Then they will skin you alive
thegrimtrigger
I would donate to that gofundme

Scarring?

There is scarring. I have a scar from one side to the other and from mid waist to about 15cm above belly button. Fades after a while though
