First off, everyone here is amazing, but this made my jaw drop! I hope that every day you tell yourself, "You are AWESOME." Because you are!

I started this year at 190 lbs, and a BMI of 27 - I've been on a low-carb/keto diet all year, and now down to 172 and a healthy BMI of just under 25! This weekend I enjoyed running in my favorite 5K and also taking part in the strength competition held at the site, which, as you can see, included a tire flip. I had never done a strength competition before, and did it mostly for fun, and it was fun!!

lol thank you! But to be honest, there's tons of loose skin there. I can make the skin on my arm "clap" it's so floppy. BUT STILL no one looks at my arm now and first thinks "omg loose skin" (unless I'm showing the flappy arm trick). At the end of the day, a healthy body size still ends up looking far more attractive than taut skin filled with fat -- I can't undo the fact that I've stretched things out, but that doesn't matter. I still look better thinner.

Exactly my point. I'm 62, lost 1/3 of my body weight a couple of years ago. There's some loose skin for me, but minor - eapecially after 2 years in maintenance. But a lot of people - mid-weight-loss - when the squishy/floppy fat is the worst, still dragging things down gravitationally - imagine that the end result will be *awful*. It's mostly not!

P.S. Flappy arm trick is usually mostly relaxed triceps, not fat/skin. Flex to the msx, check it out. Don't be mis-identifying nice (but relaxed) triceps as skin or fat!

My excess skin is a badge of honor. It reminds me of where I came from.

Today marks 2 years of my journey to a healthier me. It’s had its ups and downs (and plateaus...I hate plateaus!!!) but I feel so much better about myself. The photo on the left is 3/7/16 at 233lbs and the photo on the right is 3/7/18 at 162.5lbs.

I lost count of the years. But I started at 250:


Got down to 170:



Then back up to 210 (stupid holiday food goodness), and now back down to just barely under 200:
