Sup fellas! (And/or ladies who have snuck in here[emoji23])
Been awhile but my first thing is I have lost just short of 120 pounds to the day since my surgery 07/17/17 And am feelin GREAT! (Picture attached). My biggest concern is the amount of what I can consume. I can eat a good 8-9 OZ steak AND a few bites of spinach or whatever veggies I accompany with my Protein. I have been working out hardcore lately but is that still normal for us? I ALWAYS eat protein first. A few weeks ago I consumed 2 baked chicken legs and a wing with some wiggle room for a few bites of steamed broccoli. Am I OVER eating? I have also never came across something that my pouch disagreed with. (I celebrated my first 100 by eating a slice of cheesecake at one of my friends get togethers) And had no I'll consequences. I'm calling on all my brothers and sisters in arms. knowledge is very much needed!

I'm gonna be blunt. I've lost 55 pounds, and I swear I'm bigger in "The Good Place" than I was ever, even in college. We are talking multiple inches. I'm an exhibitionist so the temptation to share the before and afters with you must be resisted, but suffice to say, after the joy of looking down and seeing it again . . . the second joy of the reactions. . . well . . .let's just say my username isn't a dream anymore, it's real.

Now I feel extremely embarrassed because I posted in the powder room. My phone didn't tell me that at first. Uh...carry on ladies! lol *blush*

I look forward to being able to run a 5k! Also to be able to immerse fully into intimacy with a partner without wondering all the thoughts a husky gentleman thinks up. Shopping at a regular store and being able to get things on sale!!

As long as there's honesty afoot, man boobs don't bother as much as this fat pad above "little Tex" if you catch my drift. I'm trying to coax the dragon out the cave. That's the sole reason I haven't broken down and bought Oreos at the nearby supermarket.

Well, at least there is an eventual end to it. At least mine are soft. ROFL! Big Tex, you and I will probably get more weight off than we've set our goal.

You just gave me so much hope. Started at 545 I'm down yo 447. In 4 months. Can't Wait to get down to You!

I lost about 150 pounds, and just had plastic surgery to take care of the extra skin. There are some areas that did pretty well - my arms for instance look pretty good as I've built up some muscle there... but there was really no help for my belly and thighs. There are a number of factors, but the reality is that your skin can only shrink so much, and it's going to be a matter of how much you personally are okay with. For me - I wanted to take care of it so I chose to have a lower body lift and thigh lift. Don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but I think the reality is that if you're losing 100+ pounds you're likely to have extra skin regardless of what you do.

You sir are literally my hero

I have yet to find a food that I couldn't digest or made me uncomfortable. I recently lost my first 100 pounds and had a celebratory slice of cheesecake. Even that went down without a hitch. I'm OVERLY cautious of what I eat because of that
