    The results of 3 yrs going on and off...

    I had posted one of these about a year ago, but just decided to start a new one instead of updating the old one.

    It will be 3 yrs this September 15. An estimate of about 2 yrs of that I was dieting. No working out at all and now I really regret it.

    Well I was 350 lbs when I first started. Now 202 lbs. My original goal was 220 lbs. Once I got there realized I needed to lose more. New goal 170-180. I'm only 5'7", so I figured that should be my target.

    I went from a 4x shirt to xl. Pants from 44 to 36.

    Anyone have any good info or ever had skin reduction surgery?


    350 lbs.







    235 lbs.


    204 lbs.

      Hey,

      That is really good progress Thanks for sharing.

      Adena has a useful link in her signature about skin shrinkage and fats about that sort of thing - she has a journal where you could find the link.

                Thanks. I found her link. It really puts down surgery. I have the motivaton to diet, but to excercise I am the laziest person there is.

                    Wow, what a difference!! You look great!!

                    I think surgery is a bad idea but it's a personal decision.
                    Maybe you could join a gym with one of your buddies?
                    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

                      dan the man! YOU ARE the man! seriously buddy! wow!
                      i just went from 246 to 217 this past couple of months, this is the most amazing thing i've ever done for myself. and it seems the same way for you! AMAZING pics!
                      as for the skin issue:
                      i'm coupling my new way of eating with weight training and cardio, and my skin is really adjusting well, i'm hoping definitely to fill out any left over skin with lots of muscle! also i've been using an elastic band around my stomach, and i definitely notice a huge huge difference in how it has changed shape. exercise is hard to fit into a schedule, but it's totally worth it!

                      KEEP ON KEEPIN ON! you are doing an AMAZING job! really impressive! wow

                            What an accomplishment! Great job! A guy on this board Bowulf has a video on you tube talking about loose skin. Check it out. Also do a search for loose skin there's a lot more posts on it.

                              Awesome pictures!!!

                              The truth is, Dan, exercise will be THE best thing to do before you think about skin reduction surgery. Hit the gym and buy a body brush. Hey, even a guy can body brush you know I own one because the gals were raving about it, but you'd be amazed how the skin really starts toning up when you start brushing it and break up the cells and giving it a chance to become it's eleastic self.

                              Cheers for a great job!!!!
