    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!

    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.

    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 !

    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.

    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.

    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.

    LOL yes, this. Congrats, man.

    Way to go - you look great! I don't know what I'll do if I end up with loose skin - hoping losing slowly will help. Really don't want to have to go the plastic surgery route.

    Brilliant, what a transformation! Congratulations to you for all your hard work.

    You know what - loose skin is an issue with everyone - especially those of us who have had kids, are over a certain age or had a huge weightloss....& yes we do tend to hide away those pictures that show the truth because it embarrasses us & we are ashamed...so thank you for being brave, honest & open and sharing your pictures with us. Please don't let all your hard work be marred by something so little as a bit of sagging skin - you look great and we are all jealous!

    Amazing loss, congrats to you. Thank you for being honest about the skin thing. I am pretty sure that you think it looks much worse than it acutally does! I will gladly take that over being morbidly obese any day. You are very inspiring! And by the way, your arms look awesome!! I love man arms!!
