Good Grief! You look fantastic but I have to ask... how on earth did you lose almost 100 pounds in only four months? I know I've read other similar posts but' date=' man, my surgery was on Nov.23 (just a few days after yours) and I'm only down about 37 pounds. I know we all lose differently along with having different stats. I'm 47 years old, 5'9'' tall, and started at 250 pounds. Frustrating but I know it'll eventually come off.

Congrats again on your wonderful accomplishment.

I am similar... I am 50, 5'8" and started out at 241 lbs... I had surgery 2/18 and only lost 20lbs so far. I assume those of us who aren't so young will lose slower... We've had more time to damage our metabolism too!

This may be too personal. But you look to be close to my age. I'm 24. And I have 20 more lbs til onederland. I'm wondering how bad excess skin is right now? I'm hoping because I'm still young it won't be too bad. Did start at a higher weight. 330 lbs and am at 220 today. I understand if this is a too personal question.

Congratulations, you look sensational.

You're right, we're about the same age- I'm 23. And feel free to ask me any questions, I am always super honest and open. Excess skin hasn't been an issue for me. I do have a small amount of looser skin to my lower abdomen and arms, but I am confident that ill be able to tighten up a lot at the gym! You are also doing wonderfully with your weight loss!! Congrats!!
