Did your skin bounce back or did you get surgery? Your arm skin doesn't look loose at all. Maybe you were young enough but I always remember that being a thing with a bunch of those Biggest Loser people and it seems like a shitty reward for losing the weight.
So, I lost the weight over a period of about 7-8 years (with a LOT of different "plateaus" at various points). Started around March(ish) of '09 and I weighed the lowest I've ever weighed(outside of like Freshman year of HS or some dumb shit like
Seananigans
is trying to claim, obviously) around Nov. '16 (179lbs.).
Because of this, I didn't get a lot of the skin problems most massive weight loss people get. Usually because they go extremely calorie deficient, because your BMR at that weight is actually pretty fucking huge. And they usually do so as a result of some sort of GI surgery (which mostly just force you to "starve" yourself via extreme nausea, pain, etc.). I just did it via diet and exercise(although I never fucked with cardio as my job had me walking 10-15 miles/day. I only lifted) and I still ate "normally", aiming to lose around 1lb. or so/week. Sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. Kicking regular soda helped jumpstart me a lot when I was still an omega fatty, because I was dieting and exercising pretty heavily, yet still not really losing weight(1lb./month at most). That's when I started
really calorie counting and realized how many calories I was drinking/day. I was so obsessed and autistic about it that I can still identify the rough calorie count contained in most meals/serving sizes to this day.
The best part about being omega fat though and working out/exercising is that your BMR is crazy high. Then when you add on the energy/calorie requirements to move that much mass, you're able to eat like an absolute hog. I was consuming probably 3k+ calories a day when I was still really fat, yet still losing weight. That's the part my inner fatty misses the most.
That said, I still ended up with some loose skin around my midsection (you can see it a little bit in that comparison photo). But everywhere else it either didn't happen at all, muscle helped "fill" it in, or my body just naturally adjusted because of how slow the weight loss was.
You seem pretty rustled that you were such a behemoth fat faggot at one point. 360lbs or so, was it? God damn dude.
Difference is I was fat
then. You're fat now.
Good on you for setting a goal and making it. But I would up your shaving game a bit, that dirty sanchez thing you got going on is not optimum.
Here you go bro - I grew out a shitty mustache for Movember and prostate awareness month (I do it every Nov.)
I call it.. "Minshew Madness".
