My name is Tim. I am 32. I am from Washington State. I have lost 235lbs in the last 5 years. I have used MFP on and off for years. I occasionally make a new account to get a fresh start. I don't have many MFP friends and I suppose it would be interesting to talk to people occasionally about weightloss and such. I don't…

You guys trying to lose 100+, don't give up. It seems crazy that you have to lose 100+lbs but it can be done. I have done it two-fold. I am currently down 235. I am proof it can be done. It can be maintained. Don't give up, k? :D If ya'll have any questions feel free to message me!

If you click on someone's profile you should see a message button. If you want to reply to someone elses message that they sent you, you should see a 'Reply' button. Or on my phone the button looks like a little sweeping arrow.

If you click on someone's picture and go to their profile you should see a button that can add them as a friend.

You can do it! I hope you get to wear that super cute wardrobe. I'd like to see an update once it happens!

I decided to lose weight when I was 425lbs. I was the fattest person I knew. I was super unhealthy. It caused me all sorts of problems... I think the biggest motivator to losing the weight was when I was unable to mas tur bate normally... I had to fix that. I wasn't getting any female attention and if I wasn't able to TCOB…

I lost my last 40lbs (over a year) while eating a Keto lifestyle. I was pretty hardcore into it. Less than 20g carbs a day. I actually enjoyed the structure and how restrictive it was. It helped me deal with a lot of food cravings I had. Lately I have been moving away from Keto and have been introducing good carbs back…

Don't give up. You can do it. Anyone can reach their goals.

I enjoy chatting. I have lost a ton of weight and been doing this for ages. I could use some mfp friends finally.

Don't give up. Keto isn't for everyone but you don't need a diet to get healthy. Track those calories and be accountable.. you'll get those results you want. Feel free to message me if you feel like slippin.

Good luck. Kick some butt.

I am in Washington too. Bellingham area.

I have been keto vegetarian since Dec. I would say it is very difficult. I have recently decided to move away from keto while keeping vegetarian going. Vegan Keto sounds very restrictive and I would warn that you might get tired of that. I wish you the best of luck.

I posted this to another thread. Hoping I can just copy it here. My name is Tim. I am 32. I am from the PNW - USA. I have lost 235lbs in the last 4-5 years. I have used MFP on and off for years.

Thanks. It takes time but totally possible for anyone to get healthy. It took me changing my mentality before I could change my body.

Support and motivation is important but not necessary from those who are close to you. I lost 235lbs without the support from anyone. Yea it sucks but it can be done. Don't give up. Let your goal by your focus and be motivated by the new life you want to live. Good luck. You can do it.

I have been overweight my entire life. I was always the heaviest in school. I was 300lbs at 16. I was 425lbs at 25. I am currently 187lbs and maintaining for the last year. It took about 4 years to lose the weight. It came with lots of ups and downs. I would lose it, then gain it, then lose it.. etc. I have found a good…

I have been trying to get as much info as possible. It all seems like a lot of work to get surgery. Do you have much loose skin yet?

Haha. I do like my lint collection...

Hahah. Nice. I like it. Better start working on my slap shot :P

Goalie zone? :X

If you want to reply in a message I understand, I hope it isn't too personal to ask, I was wondering what you mean by everything changes, even girlie zone. I am a guy and I am sure it does have effects down there. But what kind of changes can I expect? What kind of changes happened?

Hahah yes it makes sense. It just seemed kind of weird, the thought of a new bellybutton. Is there a function for it?

Thanks so much for replying again. This is good stuff to know. I never thought that tightening my skin would change the way I move my body. Interesting. Losing my flexibility might not be such a big deal because I don't do much that requires high amounts of flex. lol I could see how someone who enjoys dance or yoga would…

Thank you! :D The recovery bothers me as well. I am sure after the consultation I will have a better idea of what to expect but I cannot take several months off from work and maintain my livelihood. The surgery itself does seem scary to me. I know they will most likely have to removal an extensive amount of skin from my…

I have experience with those things too. It's unfortunate. I have to shower twice daily or risk a rash. Thanks for sharing.

Is your loose skin pretty noticeable? What sort of irritations do you get?
