Question for people on here who have lost this much weight: how have you avoided loose skin/how do you deal with it? I’m starting at about 290 and this is my biggest worry about weight loss. (Sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask about this!)

I consider the loose skin like a badge of honor... or a certificate of achievement. I have lots - but it's because 1) I topped 350 at my highest - and I was well over 300 for decades - and 2) I am 54 years old. Had I pulled my head out a few decades sooner, well - I might not have the skin issues.

From all the folks that I have talked to and heard from and read about... the people with the most "skin success" are those that never got over 300 lbs - and/or the younger folks - and/or people who were not overweight for a very long time, like I was. So - you already meet the first requirement. That 300 pound mark seems to be the line of demarcation between folks with skin issues and folks without. From your profile pic, I would say you meet the 2nd requirement, as well, but it's hard to tell from that.

I just figure my career as a swimsuit model is never going to take off - but, I can wear normal people sized clothes and look good in them - and I have a lot less fear of dropping over from a heart attack at any moment; not to mention the continuing ability to walk. Being heavy, year after year, is very, VERY hard on your body - every part of it. So, lose the weight now - worry about the skin, later. If it doesn't shrink up after a couple of years, you can always go for a little nip and tuck. They even have financing for that, now.

Not quite 300 but closer than i would have liked. 283 to 140. Maintaining three years. The pretty four legged lady is the reason i lost weight. Making sure she was well exercised kept us both walking.

You look great as does your 4LF - mine keep me doing 10k steps a minimum every day too !

love this thread! started at 334 in april, got down to 331-333, fluctated there til I decided to get serious. Asked my doc what I could do, he wants me on phentermine, which i can't afford and am not interested in taking. Started 2 weeks ago, after being sick and getting to 327 from not eating while sick. Only lost 1lb in that time frame, decided to start doing IF the 3 days ago and have already dropped 2 lbs. I cant wait to be able to post my before and afters!

great job to everyone here!

I urge you and everyone else to think twice about taking phentermine. My doctor informed me that there were studies indicating it causes AFIB in some people.
