What loose skin?

OK so this was done for almost a dare to try and emphasise a point that you can lose lots of weight and not have loads of rolls of excess skin. I don't normally get me kit off for photographs but this was done in the name of science lol

I understand that my physique is neither athletic or muscular but you can see from my torso that 4 weeks ago I had open heart surgery, so have been unable to train for the past 4 years. I did swim 3-4 times a week for the 15 months prior to my operation but have been told by my heart surgeon and physiotherapist not to train until after Christmas to let my chest bone heal properly.

I must admit this isn't perfectly true as I do have a small "apron" that I am still hoping to deal with via continuing to diet and eventually weight train/tone. :wink:
