See this is the problem right here. People trying to be helpful when in fact they don't know what they are talking about. You can get to single digit % body fat and have a full on deep cut 6 pack and the lose skin wont go away. The whole wait x amount of time doctors tell you is just so you can see the real truth, the lose…

I remember you saying you had loose skin but at no point do I see you having any, at least in the pics posted.

Yeah that is like saying to some who has a broken arm "you ever try not having a broken arm". Sometimes you have to be a jerk and put your own health before other peoples snacks. People don't like how you live, or what you do, well to bad for them.

Just throw it away. If they ask you about it, just say you have been eating it. Sucks to have to toss out good food/money but sooner or later they will get the hint. Once you get in to the lifestyle it will be second nature to avoid the stuff but for now just throw it away it will be worth every penny.

That is a close up of my arm pit. See that eye lash of skin hanging off my triceps. Lets say when you pull the skin away from your muscle to see what your body fat is with a caliper, normal skin will snap back. Not that flap, it just hangs there and never snaps back on to the muscle. Looking at the fat pic, I think the…

Got any pics of when you started the bulk and when you got done with the first one?

For me, as of yet no. I cant say for anyone else, or even if it wont be a problem later.

No its not common knowledge at all. People will always think oh you still have fat on you, get more lean. Or you don't have any muscle to fill it out or it will go away with time. Don't even get me started with the crazy stuff people will tell you to put on your skin. Also it is not that I don't want removed, it's that I…

I could tell once I lost about 50# that some skin wasn't sticking right anymore. I think it was already loose before I ever lost any weight I just didn't know it at the time. Also its not about how lose or tight or even how thick it is because I have dropped to even lower body fat %(like 6-7%) dropped all my salt and water…

Why should have skin reduction surgery? Losing weight and getting muscles doesn't make women throw themselves at me or gotten me a super awesome job. So having some loose skin isn't going to make me a bad person. I have to say I don't feel great about having all the extra skin but it isn't the end of the world. I even have…

5'11", lost about 1% body weight a week and was obese ever since the 4th grade, so a very long time.

I have been about the same weight for a year now. You shouldn't fear loose skin, in the end it doesn't matter. It's more in your own mind then anything else.

I dont know maybe the part where she said you wont look good naked and would be a squishy lump.

You have no clue what you are talking about. I am going to try and be as honest as I can with you. You have no clue what 27# of muscle can lift. You would have been squatting and dead lifting in the high 300's with that easy. You didn't lose that muscle because you never had it to start with. I also hate to tell you but…

I started out benching 45(empty bar) a year a go and have been in a deficit for about 340 days out of that year and I can push out 225-250 for reps now. So yes you can gain a lot of both strength and size as long as you have the body fat and get enough protein. This whole you need a surplus thing, I think comes from pro's…

I do situps with 2 90# dumbbells for 30 reps and can plank for 6 mins+. I dont know what my body fat % is but I have a 6 pack. My lose skin is still there. Just be happy its not full. this is my uncropped pic.

I have been eating at a deficit for a year and never picked up a weight before that I will just let the pic speak for its self. You DO NOT need to EAT a surplus but you must HAVE one (your fat) that is what fat does, store what you dont need to use later(yes is has a function other then making you look bad).

Well almost all weight training uses your core from pullups to dead lifts. If you want them to pop out just some good ol situp and side bends are all you need (with heavy enough weights added) once a week for 4-5 months.

Arni is 6'2" and was 235 and you know what, he took a lot of roids. To get like that body builder, someone would have to take a lot of roids too, so many you would think it would kill them but it doesn't. If BMI is crap, that pic is even more crap.

Like I said yeah the lose skin sucks but I am ok with it. Just In a world that is so filtered and fake (where you can pick up a mag and read how a stick thin woman is eating all this and that, when you know the only thing shes had in the last week is half a cracker and a glass of water) I just wanted to be real. I know…
