Well I can only speak from my experience as a guy with loose skin. Some women will absolutely tell you flat out, to your face you look disgusting and others that wont mind it at all. In fact the women I am seeing right now could care less if I get it removed or not. So short answer is yes people will find you attractive,…

I am not negative at all. I get to go where ever I want, and I can eat stuff with out getting that "omg look at that fatty" stare. I have a great family, good friends. I love going to the gym and lifting weights. I get to see awesome people there and have fun. I can walk up a flight of steps with out my heart getting ready…

Yeah there like 10's of us lol. I almost never log in to the site, or check the boards, because it has become very anti male. The guys that seem to be left are just the iifym bros who have no clue what its like being 300+ lbs. So this is a good pic with the extra goo cropped out And with it in I am a lot leaner right now…

I was very overweight in high school and girls would do that kind of thing to me all the time but a lot worse. I know its not something you can just get over so easy. If your anything like me, you wont be scarred for life but everything is going to be so much harder. Some people seem to have it so easy everything just…

First off social anxiety is a real medical condition that might need medication and therapy to help fix Second you are not a medical professional Third telling some one to just get over a mental disorder does show a lack of empathy. If people could just get over their Bi polar or PTSD or any number of disorders they would…

I wish it was that simple. I am not rich by any means, but it is not purely a lack of funds that's making me sell. Anyway I am one of the weird people that likes going to the gym and hearing all the weights clank around and such.

Want a gold star?

I like to think a lot of things too, but it doesn't make any of them true just because I think them. Myself and a lot of others are not as gifted as you, that is true.

Nah Pu_239 wanting to have sex with a woman that is his friend is way worse. Guys wanting to have sex with their female friends NEVER happens. I mean come on it was only 4 hookers, its hard to get mad at anything under a full on 10 hooker orgy. You know in Europe that's just how men cope when a wife's family member gets…

I am sorry for the OP And for every one else "Misanthropy develops when without art one puts complete trust in somebody thinking the man absolutely true and sound and reliable and then a little later discovers him to be bad and unreliable ... and when it happens to someone often ... he ends up ... hating everyone."…

Yeah you can build muscle and lose fat at the same time, if you lift hard. Muscles and bones dont grow very fast once your an adult. Force feeding them doesnt make them grow any faster. Its going to be slow no matter what you do, but this should be a lifestyle change so it shouldn't matter if it takes you 3 years or 5 just…

Well I did about the same thing and I do have a pic that I can post on here. You know what I didnt follow a program, and only tracked what I was eating for the last few months. The best I could tell you would be I did basic stuff with dumbbells. All I did was cut, I have never bulked, after I hit my goal weight I did what…

Everyone needs some support every now and then, and everyone has their own way of asking for it. I remember back in high school I would get picked on for being overweight. The sad fact is the girls were just as mean as the boys. Maybe even more so. How girls bully and pick on people, they try and make them feel less then.…

It has nothing to do with lifting weights. I lift weights all the time, I have lots of muscle and most people would even call me "cut". I think my arms are even bigger now then when I was over weigh but I still have a tiny flap of skin under my arms. No fat in it at all, as thin as an eye lash but its still there. If you…

I feel this forum has started to insulate it's self from the real world. Yes getting a 6 pack is something a lot of guys want to have, and seeing as how there are thousands of threads asking for support for all kinds of things. I am a single mom, with one leg, that lives of the moon, and has enlarged liver syndrome who is…

Just to be clear, lifting can help you keep lean body mass and lose fat but has nothing to do with the dreaded belly hang. How fast or slow you take the weight off, how much water you drink, what you eat and any magic cream you buy has nothing to do with it. If anyone wants to know more about it, just head over to youtube…

I think this is more of a fat woman's thing. Before I lost 130 lbs, people would give me that look like "I bet that guy is going to eat that whole pizza". But I dont even know what a "beautiful" food is or why I would want to eat it. Also people at the gym always seem super helpful. Most guys and gals at the gym dont mind…

I think I know what your problem is. As you lose weight your range of motion will change too. You could have added up to 3 inches on the range of your bench. Also your hips and knees will move different on squat and dead lift. So let me give you some real numbers from my own training. When I started I was 300 and I could…
-
Are you sure you are big boned? One of the better ways to see are to check things wrists and ankles. I know they have charts online that will tell you what kind of frame you have based on that. Anyway I am just a little bit taller then you 5'11 so maybe my pics might help. I went from 300ish to 260, 240, 220, 190, 170

Its not a friends responsibility to do anything, but real friends want to see each other happy so they will make an effort to make that happen. If you are not willing to do this for a person then dont count on them to do the same for you. At that point they are just another person that you know and hang out with every so…
-
Oh shut up, setting people up is not pimping them out. I said both men and women do this kind of stuff and over more then just relationships. Look I am no angle, I have told people stuff they have wanted to hear all the time to get what I want, or because it was easy. Everyone has done this stuff. He doesn't have to be…

This woman is being fake with you and she is not your friend. People can be very fake, both men and women and over a lot of stuff. Like friends that say they love your music but wont listen to it. Say you are a great cook but wont eat anything you make. They will tell you what a great writer you are but wont read any of it…
-
Yeah if you go to the gym more then 2 times a week for 30 mins you end up looking like this. Its such a common mistake, a lot of guys walk in to a gym, stay there for over 30 mins, then they get to big to get out the door. They are stuck there for the rest of their lives. Very sad.
-
I get you sister, most people don't listen with the intent to understand, they only listen with the intent to reply.
-
That would be anyone who never have gotten an ear full of people trying to sell them on every thing from magic skin detox pills, skin brushes and body wraps. I will tell you what go ahead drop the money for them and I will test them all out just for you. To be honest I didnt think my dating life would be that big a topic.…
-
It seems like I am getting 2 totally different camps. People that have had to struggle with very large amounts of weight for most of their lives. Then the people that have not, and it seems like I am just talking over them and what I am saying is just total alien gibberish. I am fine with my lose skin, I am fine with being…
-
This is the main thing I wanted to stress to other people. Not how much tail I am pulling. If you are not eating the stuff other people around you are eating it will cause a lot of stress. It doesn't matter, men or women, workplace or home, parents or partner. I am ok with my skin now but it is still something I am looking…
-
Some women have told me the skin looks gross, and I am better off without someone like that in my life, but I wont lie, yes it is hurtful. That is not the main thing at all, when I have a shirt on, no one can tell. I don't like going out to dinners, and having strangers make my food for me now. I put in a lot of time in…

5'11" 300ish to 180 I have a lot of loose skin. With a shirt on you cant even see the belly flap. I do a lot of heavy back work to make my gut look smaller.
