Why moobs starts to get worse when you lose some weight. And especially if you do push ups and follow the moobs reduction tips. But when you are chubby it looks proportional to your body.
Is there any successful stories where moobs have gone naturally without surgeries for older guys 23+.

Gravity. And loose skin maybe. when i started losing elsewhere i kept the weight in my shoulders and it made them look WAY bigger so possibly just havent started losing there yet just keep it up.0

Because much like when a women loses it there, you have stretched out the skin, and that doesn't go back right away if ever.1

Because man boobies melt faster than pectorals can build, even if lifting progressively. It all takes time and patience grasshoppah, and sometimes the skin doesn't ever fully retract. This is down to genetics, unfortunately.0

Don't have lose skin. I am only 10 kg overweight and I lost maximum 5 kg so no way I gets lose skin. My skin is actually quiet tight. Moobs are always soft but the skin is tight.
Did you lost your moobs completely.0 -

My skins are tight. I am only slightly overweight. Have a big stomach and a proportional moobs. Legs and rest of my body looks fine. But when I lose few kgs my stomach decrease and moobs not only stay the same, it gets bigger.0 -

So better stay a bit overweight and enjoy life with tasty food than hoping to get a justin bieber body.0 -
Sounds like your bigger than you think, And your body holds its fat in the stomach and chest. Why you assume theyll be gone if you still have a big belly is beyond me, Just keep losing weight. Sounds like youll need a low body fat % to achieve no moobs, Since thats where your body holds its fat theyll be the last to go2

Nope. Better to lift weights and slowly fill in that skin with skeletal muscle tissue while losing the fat.
Also, Bieber? Really?7 -

Low body fat but moobs. I don't want to be depressed like him. Look at him and you will get sad too.

5'6" 80 kg. 70 kg = bmi normal. So 10kg overweight and I have massive legs too. Huge legs and big stomach and saggy moobs with puffy nipples. I am OK with my legs though. I want to get reduced of my belly and moobs but don't want 6 pack and ripped chest. Flat stomach and flat chest is what I want.0 -
So either your much larger than you say, Or your view is very skewed. Either way you have self image issues and its worrying. 10kg is not alot to be overweight and you claim to have huge stomach boobs and legs. I think you need to learn to like yourself weight loss wont help from the looks of it.Gallowmere1984 wrote: »Caloriescountingishard1414 wrote: »Gallowmere1984 wrote: »Caloriescountingishard1414 wrote: »Gallowmere1984 wrote: »Because man boobies melt faster than pectorals can build, even if lifting progressively.

You will end up needing to lose more than 10kg though. In other words, getting to the top of your healthy range isn't going to be enough to get rid of your problem areas. If you have not done any kind of resistance training to retain or build muscle, you likely will need to end up in the middle or lower half of your healthy range in order to get a flat stomach or chest. You'll be pretty soft looking. Which is fine if that is your goal. We all have different goals, of course.0 -

If I lose too much than I will get lose skin. I prefer tight smooth skin.0 -
Its all genetics and body fat % im not sure what answer your looking for you havent already gotten. No one can tell you anymore thn they already have, Lower that body fat and continue your working out and hope for the best. You cant just choose to spot reduce it will come off where your body chooses, How it chooses.0

You have no idea if you will have loose skin or how much you will have. People imagine that they will end up with huge swaths of drapey skin and for most people that isn't the case. In the end, though, if you're going to have it, you're going to have it. The only way to 100% avoid it is to not get fat in the first place and that's not an option for you anymore.2 -

This. You have gotten all of the answers, and don't like them, so what now? Your just going to keep commenting on peoples tips, to prove them wrong? Or is this just some weird post to talk about puffy nipples, and moobs? If you are only 175lbs, chances are your skins not that stretched out, and if you lose weight to get to beiber status you will probably still have that baby soft skin you are looking for, with your pointy hairy nipples.2 -
I had to read just to find out what the heck "moobs" were, I will never figure out why people have to make up words for body parts.0

It's not weight that matters per se, it's bodyfat percentage. Genetics also comes into play, as does the possibility of gynecomastia (google it).2 -
They MAY look worse because when you diet you will retain less water in your muscles, thus they will appear saggier. Just like when you get an awesome chest pump they look slightly better than before, since the muscles expand and the fat is basically "held up".

If you gradually lose weight, your will lose fat all over, not just in your chest and legs.
