Sorry if already asked, but how did you tighten up all the loose skin? I'm sure it helps to be young, but did you do anything in particular on the skin front?0

Very great transformation. My highest weight was 318lbs and I'm now stuck around the 280lb mark. I struggle with emotional eating and I'm trying to figure out how to retrain my brain to stop that. Every day I go over my calorie count and I find I mainly blow it at night when I'm bored. I don't smoke, drink or do drugs. I have no real addictions. I just like eating and have always been brought up that way. When I was a child it was nothing to eat and at that time people weren't obsessed with calorie counting or exercising like today. Now we realize what is needed for success and it's the whole training yourself to a new lifestyle. It's not easy for some people.
Excellent job you've done and you should be very happy with yourself. Thanks for sharing your experience and helping out.0 -

Epic story my man. You did a great job!
I have a quick question if you are still answering them! I am 6' 6''currently 213 lbs and would like to build some muscle while losing some fat. I just got a gym membership at a new gym in my city in Michigan. I have just been running on the treadmill because I am not really sure what else to do, however yesterday I started using workout machines. I would like to start doing free weights, but don't really know where to start? I used to lift a few years back, but I have NO idea where I am at now with my lifting.
So I guess my question is. How do I know where to start at regarding lifting weight? I could use some guidance haha.0 -

As for a way to get started in the gym, my favorite beginners program is the Ice cream fitness 5x5. You can google it! It's a great beginners program.

Some guy basically called me an idiot on here today for deciding to work primarily on weight loss first for a year, then to focus on the bulking. I didn't even respond to him. Like so many other people on here I was able to get tons of awesome advice from you and a couple of others guys. It's guys like you that I have to thank for helping me come so far. You my friend are an inspiration to many.....you are a good guy.
I have taken a similar approach and have actually helped some other people as well but directing them to this site and offering the best advice that I have to offer.....just paying it forward.

Thank you kind sir.
You are a gentleman and a scholar0 -
Also I am 6' 2" not 6' 6". I wouldn't need to lose weight if I was that tall I don't think...0

Again, I am speechless. Well done and thanks for sharing. Nothing is impossible if one is determined to achieve it!0

Did you find you had to cut your calories below what IIFYM or other calorie calculators recommended for losing weight?
I began counting calories again at the end of May and lost steadily until 226lbs. Then my losses simply randomly stopped even though I was eating 2300 calories like the calculators recommended. I cut them to 2200 and still didn't lose. A break from dieting was recommended to me which sounded better than the prospect of trying to eat 1800 calories a day like it seems like I may need to to actually lose more weight. Basically, I just feel like people always say you don't have to starve yourself or have an extreme deficit but I'm betting the people getting really lean are going way lower than the TDEE-20% they're recommending.1
