  • Yes, I did, why do you ask?
  • Ok you guys.... I surrender! I can't help but think of a movie quote... "It puts the lotion on its skin." But seriously, you guys are great, I love the passion! As for my critics and opposition on this lotion fiasco... One said "...but isn't an effective strategy the point?" So we humans have enough genetic variance to not…
  • What did the op ask? "Is there anything I can do?" Your answer is wait(time) My answer is that traditional strategy for proactively working on lose skin is to: Train weights Give it some more time And use lotion. Please look at the replies! You can tell the negative people because they refute, dispute and dilute my reply…
  • Food diary helped me most. You must count your calories accurately to know what deficit you are at. Eat lots of vegetables, 100 calories of broccoli or cauliflower is enough to fill your stomach, and few other foods will give you as much bang for the calorie as vegetables, when it comes to getting that full feeling from a…
  • Some of you are very negative and like to debunk or shoot down others so much, you refuse to see the original statement. I said exercise, time and some lotion are it for non-surgical methods. This is a fact! I did not say what percentage of impact would come from what element. And then all of the "need to dispute" people…
  • Ok, people, some of you are missing my point. First, skin is not a static organism! You are constantly shedding layers of skin. And producing more skin cells, until you die! Just like you can train your muscles, your heart, lungs, brain to the point that they are transformed...so to can your skin. Lotion by itself will not…
  • Oh yeah, if you can do some vinegar and some seasoning or hot sauce, that's hardly any calories and absolutely the better choice....but after your 400th serving you may want to have some other options, too...
  • Calorie deficit is achieved by expending more energy and/or eating less/differently. Things that helped me, were to set my goals based on a 2000 calorie diet, even though based on my weight/height/activity, I have a BMR 2800 calorie maintenance. This means that until I get down to like 200lbs I will be at 400-800 calorie…
  • 7.5 billion humans on earth and you can't understand why they all don't think and reason like you?
  • CARDIOVASCULAR TRAINING HOW IS A HEART RATE MONITOR NOT AN IMPORTANT TOOL FOR THAT? Higher heart rate=more blood flowing=veins and arteries dialate=body temperature increases=body sweats to cool itself= calories burned to deal with the extra activities
  • I have a VivoFit2 with garmin hrm2 heart rate strap. Vivofit2 BATTERY LAST A YEAR!!! You don't have to charge it every 2-5 days. Just leave it on all the time...it's small enough to wear fashion jewelry over it to hide it, when you are dressed up Vivofit2 uses heart rate straps via Bluetooth AND ANT+. Straps are still mush…
  • I love seeing certified trainers, throw around their credentials, as if they know as much as a dermatologist(a Medical Doctor) or a scientist that makes lotion, and the DR or scientists have a longer list of even more impressive titles and educational accomplishments. Lotion and cream works to moisturize skin!!!! That's…
  • Jem is kind of right, but, at a year after weight loss, I think you still have more time before you decide that you are stuck with that skin, I've read a few stories on bodybuilding.com that talked about several years for loose skin to recover from a drastic weight loss(100+)
  • From what I have read on the topic....time, training and Cocoa butter. Often the weight loss is at a faster rate than the skins elasticity can recover, but with more time, it will continue to tighten up and if you are doing intense training to build muscle during that time, it helps the skin keep tightening more and then…
  • At a certain point you must join a gym to have access to squat rack and the various types of benches and large plates that you will need to do many of the heavy compound lifts. Also at the gym you can grunt and drop weights more comfortably and just like these forums, it's hella motivating to work out with other focused,…
