1 year lost 125#

Every one loves pic's, so them first






Now this is the part every one seems to leave out. For good reason too.



Hanging skin and man boobs suck but it is what it is. Still the lower my body fat% gets the more they shrink. Just though I would put it up for other people to have more realistic expectations then I did when I started.

Now what I have learned from being fat, to being fit in this past year. People are not going to like you if you are to fat, and you know what, some people wont like you if you are to fit. Bottom line is some people are going to dislike you based on your looks no matter what, so if they are going to dislike you no matter what, well who cares what they think.

great progress!! I'd rather have the hanging skin than be fat every day (And I'm dealing with that whole issue too!)

First of all, great job. Amazing transformation.

Second of all, hope I wasn't the only one to see this but I definitely though of the "Macho Man" when I saw your pics.

Very brave of you to post this! Good job, and it looks like you worked hard!

Great job!! You are the only person living inside YOUR body, so who cares what others think.

As for the loose skin. Try adding collagen to your diet, it will help tighten the skin. You want to take a supplement and get a skin cream with collagen as well. If you can find a massage therapist in your area that specializes in Myo techniques they can help you or you can start pulling on your skin to get the blood flow going in it, so it will get some attention from the body. I have several clients who are losing weight and get this treatment done from me so I know it works. GOOD LUCK

HOLY SMOKES! AMAZING!

ETA: Thanks for adding the last pics. They are profoundly realistic and actually inspire me more. Seriously. I hope you are actually proud of the skin because it shows your hard work and dedication.

Awesome. Great work.
I think you're the only person brave enough to post those types of pictures. Very brave Sir!!!

Wonderful, you have done an amazing job and I agree, loose skin is hard but Maven is right and I use it on my tummy and it does wonders. You can do nothing and still have done an inspirational job.

Thank you for sharing. So what, you have loose skin. You're healthier now. You don't have to shop in "speciality" stores. You are free from your old self!

You've done an amazing job! If it is between being fat or having the extra skin, I would take the skin. You should be very proud of your achievement!

Wow, that's a huge loss over the year... Congrats on a job well done!

RachaelJ35

Bravo to you ! ! Not only have you gotten healthy, you've realized that people will like/dislike you for various reasons, and it doesn't matter as long as you love yourself ♥ I truly believe that learning to love yourself is one of the biggest challenges overweight people face, myself included. GREAT to see you standing tall and proud of your accomplishment !

I wont lie, im scared to death of the saggy skin, but I know its got to be better than all of that fat.. Im working on getting there myself. you should be proud.. You look great, saggy skin and all!

CrusaderSam

Like I said yeah the lose skin sucks but I am ok with it. Just In a world that is so filtered and fake (where you can pick up a mag and read how a stick thin woman is eating all this and that, when you know the only thing shes had in the last week is half a cracker and a glass of water) I just wanted to be real. I know every one out there that has lost 100+ has got to be having the same problems or will have the same problems as myself and it is not something to be ashamed of.

gaylynn35

Awesome!!!! Congratulations!!

Alicia7519

Congratulations on your weight loss!! You look great! Your arms look amazing!!! With regard to sagging skin, I don't care. You lost 125 pounds and I admire the hell out of folks like you who have worked so hard to reach your goal. I've decided that I am not going to waste energy on being concerned about loose skin. Honestly, this is what has kept me from losing weight in the past which is ridiculous. I would rather have that than having to lug around 75 pounds of extra weight.

Great job!! Wow!
