Damn it, 3 1/2 years...110lbs lost and now...

I went from 305 when I was 18 to 195 now at 21 1/2. Been doing cardio for the last month on an empty stomach and I tipped the scales at 195 (been stuck at 210/205 for months.) I'm fucking pathetic looking.

My upper body has grown a ton, I have stretch marks all over my back, biceps, traps, upper pecs...but my lower body looks like a flat tire. I got a ton of extra skin and shit wtf. I'm 6'5/6'6" and my waist is at 40" and my chest at 43".... I can seriously pull 5" of loose skin from my gut and I got a hanging ass...

Anyone know how to cure this shit? No way in hell I can afford surgury or anything... Fucking pathetic, all this work and I look like my lower body is a 90 year old woman.

Anyhow...I'll go drink a bottle of patron and drown in my shitty ass genetics.

look man..first off quit being a douchebag. You lost over a 100 pounds, the natural way...the HARD WAY...how many other people can say that? Does the loose skin suck? Hell yeah, but youre young...it will tighten up..its just takes time..it wont tighten up a whole lot and you probably will end up needing surgery..but you'll be able to afford it in the years to come..in the meantime keep doing what your doing...bulk up and put on some muscle, and let other people think what they want.

Agreed ^^^

For sure, start putting on some muscle.

Fill out your skin the right way... get swole.

And congratz on the huge accomplishment man, you've come a long way!

the skin will eventually start to tighten back up, like they all said above..

however, there are lotions that are supposed to help this (as to what it is, or how effective it truly is i hope someone else can input) but I have heard mixed things about it..

Are you sure you lost majorly bodyfat opposed to muscle? This can cause skin to look even looser than if you just lost a substancial amount of bodyfat. I would highly suggest doing a clean bulk to add some muscle as changing your body composition is the single best thing you can do as a natural attack against the skin.

Congrats on the weight loss, you overcame what many people cannot. At least be happy that you may have added many years on to your life as a result of your dieting.

Start to add muscle and let nature take its course is my advice..

I'm going to look around after I get off work tonight for what lotions to buy to help reduce excess skin. Congrats on losing all that weight, I'm working on 75-80 pound loss myself.

My plan to combat excess skin is as they said, lotion and a clean bulk. I'm going to try my damdest to keep as much LBM as I can, each work out is as intense as I can make it and I eat completley clean every meal cept 2. Once I get to a respectable BF% I am going to clean bulk for awhile to fill out the skin. I figured with enough Compound Leg Lifts and stuff my abs will stick out a bit further.

Everytime you take a turn in life, there is another one to take. Just keep going man, don't let it stop you. Clean bulk!
