Before: Probably has heart problems, can’t walk very well, has stress on his joints and higher chances of diabetes and having a heart attack. After: Excess skin which can be surgically removed, added years onto his life. ---

Eh diets are for smucks… a change of lifestyle will last forever but a diet is only as good as for as long as it is. AKA stop dieting and the weight comes back, no matter what. No need for a response, its simply the truth. ---

What you guys don’t realize is that is NORMAL for loosing that much weight, where is all the excess skin supossed to go? Someone explain that to me? Even if you work it off slowly doing diet and cardio, does the skin just get absorbed back in or something? Doesn’t work that way… This is a typical problem with large people loosing all their “bad” weight, most need surgery to remove the excess skin that’s left over, it’s a normal side-effect that most people who get gastric-bypass surgery have to have once they’ve lost their weight. If you’re loosing 40-50lbs that’s one thing, your skin should pull back most of if not all the way, loosing 200+ lbs, there’s too much skin due to it having to cover basically another person… ---

When you lose it slower yes it does get absorbed, the skin tightens back up after time rather quickly as you said, but yeaah 200+ lbs its unavoidable Something that extreme you see it all the time on the tv shows, they do have tons of loose skin due to the fast that it sheds too fast and too much skin. A few surgeries and that guy will look new… …with a bunch of scars. ---
