Lets Talk Flabby/Saggy Skin!

Ok, So lets talk about skin sag…

First off let me say, I am a guy and the thing I want to do most is walk down the beach shirtless and not be ashamed. Is that realistic?

I heard people say if you work out right as a guy; you can not only lose weight, but gain muscle and between the skin tightening and the muscle gaining it won’t look bad at all.

Personally I am 28, and about 100lbs over weight. I heal really quickly, if I get cut, with a little medicine its usually completely gone in two days. My doctors are amazed at it… so I’m wondering it this will have any benefit at all.

What do you think?

PS Pics are coming soon :)

    Relative to most sleevers, 100 pounds isn't all that much overweight. And given the fact that you are still young, you can definately get there and I'm guessing it's very realistic! I've gotten this

I'm also 6'2" but I would have to say I look great for losing 150 pounds and I'm still losing about 5 pounds a month and gaining my muscle back. I've been eating a lot of protein and I don't have a six pack but I do feel like I could walk around without a shirt on.

I've gotten this question a few times lately. There is only so much information I know about a person on here and given my limited knowledge on the subject, I can't say without a doubt and can only let someone know what works for me. I think patience is key to skin bouncing back. Also lifting weights and drinking plenty of Water can benefit some. I say decide on a program to get to where you want to be, have that plan and stick with it and be patient.....it will probably pay off for you. Good luck bud!
