I hope my Success story can help and Inspire someone to reach their goal. I can say I know exactly how hard it is and the struggle it is to be overweight. I was there not too long ago.

    You are a true inspiration!! Your blog gives me the confidence that I can truly do this! Could you possibly look at my diary and give me any pointers on things I should change to help me meet my goals? Again congrats, you look great!

    And you will need surgery to repair your skin for losing around 6 lbs a week (avg.) Losing weight that fast can have negative effects on our skin. Part of the point of losing weight is so you'll feel you look better. How are you going to feel if you lose 100 lbs in 4 mos and have tons of skin or continue and lose 200 in 8 mos. This is not something to be impatient with. Our body's and mind's need to learn this lifestyle so we can keep the weight off.

    I think most with that much to lose will have loose skin regardless.

    Well done. It was fast weight loss! The food looks very healthy and yummy and good that you had high protein, moderate carb and 1 cheat meal per week.
    Do you think you will ever start doing any weights/strength training? Do you log how many calories you had?
    Re the lose skin mentioned by previous commenter - it doesn't seem bad - your arms look good - no loose skin - possibly you just have loose skin in tummy.

    I make it a general rule to not be negative when posting on here. I don't always succeed and sadly, this is going to be on of those failures. Extra skin? Really? That's your concern this for this dude? Those are your words of wisdom to someone who has found the strength to turn their life around? This man has done something amazing, something many people would give about anything to be able to do. This man has turned his life around. And you think he's worried overly about extra skin? Wow.

    But which is worse!?!? Loose/extra skin or being over weight and unhealthy!!?!? I think i would take the loose skin! And you know some people do realize surgery is an OPTION and some choose to do that because they want to and because they can. Who the flip cares!?!?

    Congrats for all the hard work!!! I am proud of you for your hard work! And don't you dare let those negative nancy's out there bring you down! That took a lot of hard work and dedication!!!

    You get the douche bag of the day award

    Who --moderated--about loose skin. The guy looks and feels a million bucks. I don't see it as too much of an issue.
    Now that he is lean I want to see what his body can look like when he adds weights - to take it to the next level.

    I'm not trying to be mean or negative. I'm saying that in most cases people can't do that. I don't think I've ever heard of that. And yes, he did it right as far as dieting and exercising, I suppose. But, there are reasons they say to only lose 1-2 lbs a week. I think that promoting that kind of very fast weight loss is going to give people false hopes. I also believe that even people who don't have that much to lose. Like myself I've had a child and I have stretchmarks and if I tried to do that I'd have a ton of skin. I'm being very careful so I don't. So, if someone like me tried to do that I want them to be aware that excess skin is more than likely going to be an issue. And that's something I wouldn't want I'd rather wait it out and see if I still get skin. I commend him for all of his VERY HARD work and his self-control and discipline. I didn't mean to come across that way. I believe that people should know that there are going to be consequences. All he was pointing out were the positives. And I'd say yes, the positives outweigh the negatives. I just hope everyone is aware. That's all.

    Okay, one I'm not arguing over the internet and two I didn't say anything that would get me in trouble on "here". I'm not the one with the potty mouth.

    I sincerely apologize to the poster of this particular topic and everyone who I offended. That was not my intention. I didn't realize it came across that way. I'm sorry.

    Your triumph is amazing and inspiring! I'm going to wear my loose skin like a badge if I get it and I know its not forever, I carried the weight for a lifetime a few years wearing my skin badge is nothing in comparison to the discrimination of being obese.

    You before and afters are just amazing. I applaud you for all of the dedication you must have had to do this is such a short amount of time. I am taking a slower route myself because I think it will be easier for me to stick to. I've tried and failed so many times, so I'm hesitant to try weight loss in expert mode :)

    Congrats again on your transformation...truly inspirational!

    You need to do research. They said 1-2 pounds for moderate weight loss. OBVIOUSLY when someone loses 100 pounds, they needed to. GET A CLUE! You can give your speech to someone else because I lost over 16 pounds in three weeks. OMG THE DEVIL IS WORKING! Get a clue! The work this person has done supercedes anything and WHO GIVES A FLYING EFF if there is extra skin? At that point, your health is WAY more important than extra skin and losing that much weight is def better for your heart and internal organs. GET A CLUE LADY!! Youve seemed to take the glory out of this story but... GREAT JOB AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK are in order! YOU GO AND LOSE 100 MORE if you NEED to!!! <<applause>>

    Wow! Great job, seriously.

    And in regards to the loose skin comment, I once told my husband how concerned I am over loose skin and his reply to me was, "Well, it's a good problem to have." I can't tell you how good that made me feel. And it's very true! I will take some loose skin as opposed to being 100 pounds overweight.
