You need to make a thread with details.

There's a camera icon when you post, just press on that and you can either upload an image or paste a link to a weblink.

Some astounding progress shots in here, really great to see. The patience and dedication it takes... I know how tough it can be, such reward though

This was my last pic, since then I've been through adding more weight on (on purpose) and currently cutting again.

Those tats look hot on your new bod!!

Starting point was April 2015, 183 pounds. Currently 119 pounds. I'm 60 years old, of course menopausal, plus hypothyroid.

Can I ask whether you have found your skin sufficiently elastic to deal with such a successful weight loss?

It's a work in progress. My upper body, including my arms, seems fairly tight. Not perfect, but OK. But my top half is quite lean, even skinny in spots; remaining fat layer is mostly waist & down.

My face, as you can see in the photo, is somewhat looser-skinned, but seems to be improving fairly rapidly. I also have some loose skin around my midsection, plus some "fluffier" fat remaining (when I lose fat it gets squishier first, presumably because some fat cells in a region have given up fat, and others haven't - I think this is common). That, too, seems to have improved a little, but more slowly. (*TMI Warning*) My rear end, sadly, looks like bulldog's face; it's hard enough for me to see in the mirror that I can't tell whether there's been improvement in that over time.

Except for the back view, overall the results seem not too bad - much less loose skin than I'd feared, and in the roughly 3 months since I hit my low weight, it has improved. (It may help that I'm pretty active, and have been for a dozen years.) I think I look not-too-scary in a one-piece swimsuit, and I don't have any intention of wearing a bikini anyway (especially at age 60) - I swim in swimsuits, not bask about.

And the full set of effects are so much better, appearance-wise in addition to many other ways, compared to being fat!

Every single one of you who has shared their success stories are brave, courageous, dedicated, and inspirational. I have just started my weight loss journey and seeing all of you gives me hope for my future as well. Thank you so much for setting such a great example of why we should be healthy and how to get there.
