I lost 202 pounds in 12 months!

[rs 1,473]

I decided to show the "skin issues" that i could care less about after losing 202 pounds. This honestly doesn't bother me one bit, it's reality. As you can see my giant gut is gone and your stomach wrinkles a bit, my ribs are showing (at 175 lbs or 79 kg in the second picture) but you can still see a little man boob left.... this is reality folks. When you are 377 pounds or 171 kg this is the best i can do. I just want to help others and have no shame in my new body.
I literally have no worries, I'm proud of the hard work i've done and you should be too. No surgery needed as far as i'm concerned.

Goodness for as much as you've lost I'd say your skin has done quite well! Lucky you!

Well holy hell Batman! How did I miss this thread?!!! Super califragilistic expialidocious CONGRATS to you! What amazing success and inspiration!!!

Eat meat! Don't cheat! Errrraaaah!

I love how forgiving your skin has been!!! I am gonna hypothesize it's the carnivore/protein only diet that's helped you get that body!

I'm beyond happy for you. So glad you're now living your best life and seeing the world! Woot! Now stay and play with all of us!

Actually, I think I would categorize you in the column of the lucky few who's skin snapped back pretty well. After a 202 lbs loss, your skin is in amazing shape. Congrats, you look great!

The lifespan addition was the goal actually, I'm currently not on any medication where as i was on 3 different meds before the surgery. Thank you for the age compliment i'll take that as well!

I think you are one of the very fortunate ones with your skin, it has really snapped back nicely!
