For some of those who responded to "super serious question"

Oh good, because we were all wondering....



Anyway, this right here is the problem. It contradicts what you said in the prior part of your post about wanting to lose weight to be healthy.

I began to wonder if my ideal weight was worth the loose skin.

You're still acting like you'd rather be fat and unhealthy than an appropriate weight, healthy, and have loose skin.
So I really don't feel like any new information has been divulged with this post....

So essentially this redundant post is a cry for attention?

nope, just making sure all of the butt holes who were jerks read this. . .

if you do not like the post, do not respond.

You didn't like people's posts and created a whole new thread about it. :laugh:

Ive gone from 235 to 173 and I don't have loose skin. I lost very slowly - over 2 years and not exactly consistently. Hope this helps.

I would be more concerned about your added risks during pregnancy. If you plan to have kids, now might be a good time to lower your BMI.

I'm starting at 286, 5'2", and 27 years old. I'm probably going to have loose skin on my thighs, arms, and stomach because I need to lose about 150 pounds. BUT, I don't want to die at an early age (and my husband wouldn't want that either), so I'm going to lose weight and live with my loose skin :-)

I'm going to try and use lots of lotion, I'm drinking tons of water, I'm lifting and toning, and not going crazy with the weight loss (1-2 pounds a week is what I'm aiming for). I'm sure that I won't love the loose skin, but I'm sure that I'll love my health more. But who knows, maybe I'll be lucky and it won't be too bad!

Good luck to you on your journey

I don't know what people have said but honestly, if you want to embrace your weight as is, go for it, regardless of what people say. I know some happily overweight people and they have zero issues with how others think they look. On the other hand, I see you're on your journey to lose weight and that's good too... and from the pics, I would think that the loose skin might not be that bad of an issue as you don't seem to be sagging already. Definitely go slow on the weight loss and keep up with exercises and I'm sure you'll be fine!

no more kids for me...lol...for now...but what you said is so true

You may or may not have loose skin, only time will tell. I'd be more concerned with how you are going about losing the weight than what you'll look like after.

just stay off of my threads. . . jesus christ!

You do realize that this is a public internet forum? Also that posting a message addressed to people who were "butt holes" to you in the original really is encouraging them to respond? Just to be clear.

I understand that, and honestly, i wasn't rude to anyone (until they got rude with me of course) and i don't care how public this forum is, there is no need to be a di_ck (NOT REFERRING TO YOU)

No one was being rude in your original thread until you started getting upset.
