Still about the same looking, about 267 lbs, and feeling better. Still a baby pyro, too.

Having loose skin is weirder than having fat, also looks uglier.

Don't worry man, i'm here for you.

Over $5000 I think. Apparently, if I can show to Tricare that I need it done (basically, if it makes a rash), I can get it covered by them.

That obviously won't be for a while, I'm not stressing about it too much.

Loose skin fag here.

Trust me, you WILL be freaking out over it once you get down to around 200. My body looked identical yours, and I'm the same height, except my heaviest was only 270. I worked out, I did cardio, never lost more than 2 pounds a week (fuck, some weeks I didn't lose weight at all), and when I started getting to 200 and eventually 185, my stomach was just deflated. There's really no avoiding it and it's very rare that insurance covers it.

Furthermore, you're stuck with the option of keeping the gross skin...or getting surgery which leaves a HUGE scar all along the front of your waist. It's largely a lose-lose situation. Not trying to scare you, just trying to prepare you. Honestly, if you want a glimpse into the future, go to Google and type in "loose skin after pregnancy", that's basically what you're going to have.

At first, I was like
XD "I bet it's just stretch marks."
Then I was like
O<O

Yeah, apparently mine will only do it if it's an emergency, but as I did say earlier, I would much rather be a loose-skin fag than a fatass.

Thanks for your insight though, I need positive stuff like that.

How much is loose skin surgery?
>> Anonymous
>>204816

Some people argue that loose skin is just PURE fat that stays there because you lost too much muscle, but it's hard to believe that when you see the way it wrinkles and shit. I admit there's still fat in what I consider to be my loose skin, but if it was ALL fat, the skin would be filled out proportionately and not dimply and wrinkled.

Fortunately, if your goal is huge muscles, all the muscle mass will fill out the loose skin, but if you just want to be thin it probably won't happen.

Between 5 and 10 thousand dollars, almost always paid for out of pocket, and it has many risks if you're a smoker or diabetic. I have heard that some hospital burn wards will do surgery like this for free because they need supplies of skin for grafting burn victims, though.

but you're not as fat as this guy. also, you shouldn't even be worrying about it at this point. concentrate on your regimen.

It's not a guarantee, it's just a step in the right direction. Loose skin happens because your fat cells break apart from your skin and it loses support. The fat cells only break off from your skin when you get really fat because they need room for more fat cells.
