Former Fatso, looking for help. - Page 2

I mean, the main issue with plastic surgery that people have is that hey don't want people to know they got plastic surgery. With body parts that are obvious to others on a daily basis, such as boobs, lips, nose, etc., it is harder to get away with surgery without it being obvious.

You essentially have a free pass in that no one sees your naked body on a daily basis (I am assuming), so any surgery will be relatively seamless in your life. Might as well do it, so you are comfortable taking your shirt off.

That's true, but he might just be back in another 6 months because he lost a ton more weight.
Obviously if the guy has the money to do it without worrying about paying for the same surgery in the future, then he might as well.

Agree.


I don't know what you said earlier, and I know you're a good guy and all that, but I can't resist jumping on the bandwagon, you dick.

after all these years, you're still the only one who understands me.


oh, and VKK, of course.

I used to follow the bodybuilding sites quite a bit and remember seeing one or more threads with photos showing progress, from full fat to lots of excess skin to post-surgery snapshots over time. I'm pretty sure this was at bodybuilding.com. You might want to do some searches over there. Do your best to ignore the numerous bro-tards .

you can use cocoa butter to get rid of your stretch marks

I wear mine like battle scars. IMO there's nothing more socially stigmatising for a man that having people know he's vain (or insecure) enough to get plastic surgery.

Um, I think everyone on this forum is by definition more vain than the average male. I can definitely see myself getting lipo one day just to get rid of two or three problem areas. Obviously I won't go through with surgery until I'm almost positive I can't achieve my goals through diet/excercise/supplements, but I am not embarrassed by my vanity. Why should someone be embarrassed of doing whatever it takes to reach a goal as long as they don't hurt anyone else?......bored with journal write-ons....

hmm... i have them too i was pretty bad (220 max when I was in highschool) I am now 185 and have some major ones on my shoulder and stomach. its actually quite bad i heard it means in these areas muscle growth is impired or something

Hmm. This is probably an odd first post for a style forum. but this thread caught my eye as I was browsing.

I went from nearly 300 pounds in high school down to roughly 190 lbs right now (I'm 6'1) at age 21 and I, too, was worried about the issue of loose skin. I had originally lost a lot of the weight by eating less and moving around more. I didn't lift weights, which was my mistake, so it's good to hear that you're building muscle because that really helps. The interesting thing about loose skin, though, is that sometimes what people think is loose skin is just small subcutaneous fat that still hasn't been shed yet. A lot of people on those bodybuilding sites will suggest that you get your body fat percentage down to where you can see your abs (8-12% depending on how your genetics are) before you determine whether or not you have loose skin. I am currently about 15-16% body fat and already it doesn't seem like I have loose skin like I thought. Granted, I have been losing weight over a matter of years and I have youth on my side, but since you probably still have weight to lose anyway, it might be worth a shot to get down until you can see your abs. Though surgery might still be the only option as the amount of time you have been overweight, the speed of your fat loss, and your genetics play a big role in the elasticity of your skin.

Either way, good luck.
