    When reach goal I am definitely NOT going to shave my head:bigsmile: ("sans upper body hair")

    As for the rest, It would take too much manscaping..... I'll just stay furry.

    The reason a lot of people do it is it shows muscle definition better.

    However, body hair removal for me would take about 2 hours to do the upper body (I'm 6ft5 and v. hairy). I don't like sunbeds and fake tan smells gross.

    In short, I'll be hairy and pasty no matter how hench I get.

    not sure about the guys thing and the sans chest hair. but for the ladies and the bronzing, i'd think its just the exercising is getting them out more thus the tan. lots of ladies start out walking and then jogging. so yeah. perhaps that? if i'd lost weight i'd probably just be more evenly tanned cause i'd be walking around naked or near to that haha.

    My hair has changed alot, once I lost the first 85 pounds I cut it all off into a pixie cut, and have been wearing it short since. i am just now growing it back to see how I look skinny with long hair again! lol As far as tan, I dont purposefully tan, never really have with the exception of special events (such as being in a friends wedding and a trip that I wanted to be tan for) so my skin probably is about the same. But I am Italian and I naturally get pretty dark by the end of summer just from being outside.

    A darker complexion and hairless body really shows your muscle definition. Separation and striations are far more distinct and visible under these conditions.

    Well, apart from being fair skinned and turning lobster shade easily, I have no intention of increasing my risk of skin cancer so no intentional tanning for me (and I don't like 'fake tan') no matter what size I am (or will be again)
    ... just saying ...

    I'm not at my goal yet but I haven't been this tanned since I was a teen. All natural from the good ol' sun and not lying out in it either. Just having fun :glasses:

    I will never purposely get tanner. I actually wish I was paler than I am now! In the middle of the winter, my skin sometimes gets so pale, I can see my veins on my sternum... I love that <3 It's gorgeous

    No way. I wear SPF 30 whenever I go outside, riding my horse, exercising, working in the yard -- you name it. I don't want wrinkles and leather skin when I get older.

    I do notice in the weight loss ads that they are tanner, have better hair, are wearing black, and have big boobies. Usually looks like some self improvement went on that wasn't as free as the weight loss.

    I've actively gotten less tanned over the years as I've gotten increasingly paranoid of cancer due to a family history. So, hats and SPF 45+ all the time!

    Thankfully, chest shaving has not been an issue. ;)

    My goal is to shave my chest. Shows more definition thats why us men do it when we shredded to shreds of shred.

    :brokenheart: Shame. I sometimes feel that I'm the only one left who prefers a hairy lumberjack.

    HALLELUJAH!!
