Good Work Man. I went from 227 to 137-142 (varies a bit), and have excess belly skin. It seems to be a problem when one loses significant weight. I wish I had some tips. I have read that people say using skin cream to firm up the skin and other such stuff. I don't know if that would work or not. I mean, the skin is "Damaged and with Stretch Marks". So, I am not sure how much one can do. Luckily, I don't have HANGING skin that bad (picture), but I do got probably a few inches of extra skin in the abdominal area. Think of it as a badge of honor, so long as it doesn't bother. Better to be healthy than overweight.

I recently joined a gym, all alone without any friends, The first few days you feel a little funny, but then you start meeting people there, alot of people work out the same time avery day. Plus, if you join with a friend and they are not dedicated, they will really hold you back. You willlmiss if they make excuses not to go because you don't want to go alone. Join yourself and meet new people. Everyone is there for the same reason. I am obese, so I was self concsience, but people really did not judge and started conversations, and it's been great getting out and making new friends.

I recently started my weight loss journey using only eating right and exercizing. I am a 222 pound woman. After only about three weeks I am already having a problem with alot of excess skin hanging, and I still have a hundred pounds to go. I am starting to get worried. Any tips or ideas?

Congrats to David (AZ) on overcoming his personal tragedies in life and keeping the promise to his mom (who passed) that you would loose the weight and live your life. Hats off to you man. And there are too many people from the land of stupid so just ignore them David and keep making good friends and completing your goals.

To Growing Taller Secrets, are you stuck on stupid or what… yes this man’s accomplishments are simply beyond your understanding and comprehending David’s life story that he saved his own life by losing the weight traditionally. Since you lack information about the person you posted about explains this blog is beyond your comprehension. The man’s documentary showed what most people ignore, he didn’t want to condemn himself to a few years of life left and lost weight to save himself and live his life to the fullest. Repeat. But you made it clear that this man’s story left you at stupid. So go back to the school of stupid and study harder in your class of stupid. AZ chic just kicked your arze. Have a nice day.

Wonders if Growing Taller Secrets is related to Al Gore who said he invented the internet. lol

How somebody could allow themselves to get THAT fat is simply beyond me.

I don’t know if you should applaud the man for losing that much weight, or condemn him for getting that fat in the first place.

This story is such an inspiration to me! It’s not just a story about weight loss but a story on changing a lifestyle. I’ve done something similar as well,..maybe one day, I’ll be able to inspire people like Davis has!
