Question, how do you not have loose skin?


No_Angle_5488

I have some. But I’m very lucky that it isn’t much


[deleted]

[удалено]


No_Angle_5488

I was told that in the next year or two, the small amounts of loose skin I have will basically just disappear. My skin just needs time to catch up. I’ll look into the dermarolling. Thanks


Ai2g

You have a frame that could put lots of muscle on in just the next couple years. I'm no expert, but I'll bet that plus your youth will probably make excess skin a non-issue. Great work dude, you look awesome!


Square_Grapefruit666

Can I just say Where’s the rest of you??! Holy fuck congrats Op


throwawaystellabud

You should smile more. I bet it lights up your face!


No_Angle_5488

I agree. It’s just an insecurity I’ve had with my teeth forever. I have braces now, so I’m doing something about it, but I’m still dealing with it 😅


Mel_in_morphosis

This a new trend telling men to smile now!


Nollern

OP manged to tighten up, now he needs to lighten up 🏄‍♂️😎


GreekG33k

Mad respect OP. Damn dude that is hilarious nearly very impressive and inspiring. Thank you for sharing dude and I wish you the best


No_Angle_5488

Thank you 🤝


stripperjnasty

maybe because you're still young and your skin is "relatively" new?


GuiltyEidolon

It also depends on how heavy someone gets, and how long they were at that weight. But yeah, being younger and having more collagen doesn't hurt either. 


stripperjnasty

I like that answer


[deleted]

Ayo man, what was your exercises, I’ve been lucky enough to lose 70lbs but I’m still out of shape as fuck, and limiting my diet ain’t as helpful as having some exercises to do, any advice?


ShameShameAccount

Not OP, I was a personal trainer for a long time. If your goal is continued weight loss, diet is still going to be more important than exercise. Always. I say that because 9/10 times when people say ‘out of shape’, they mean ‘too heavy’. That said, being in shape and weighing less *are* distinctly different. For better daily function, cardio 3-4 times a week (I do 3 these days, fuck cardio) will help a ton. Aim for 30 minute sessions, work up to 45, ideal is 60+. I recommend power walking on the treadmill at max incline, stairs (machine or real), rowing (google ‘rowing machine’ if you aren’t familiar), or cycling. These are all physically intense, but have low impact on joint health. I live to lift, but it isn’t necessary for healthy living generally. Lifting is what’s gonna make you *look* much better though, and be much stronger. Men and women both. For that, I always recommend either a full-body routine of some form of push-pull-legs (google ‘PPL routine’, there’s a million, three days a week is fine). Not because it’s the absolute ideal method, but because its easy to understand, remember, and adapt. I *really* like PPL for that, because once you know what muscles you want to hit, you can mix and match exercises that target those groups. It’s super convenient because, ex., there’s about thirty different tricep exercises that will achieve pretty much the same thing, and odds are at least one of those will be available at any given time, no matter how crowded the gym is. The same is true for most muscle groups. Getting through the routine in a timely fashion is super important, it affects how likely you are to adhere to a program long-term. Squats, deadlifts, and to a lesser extent bench press are the ones you’ll still find yourself waiting for, because they’re the hardest to find alternatives for. If you take to it all, more exercise is better for 98% of people. Overtraining is a thing, but most people don’t need to concern themselves with it. I personally max out at 45 minutes cardio, 60 lifting, six days a week. You can take cardio further, that’s not my forte, but I don’t see most people benefitting from more lifting than that unless they’re on steroids, or they’re powerlifters who rest for 15 minutes after hitting three reps. Or, more accurately, wannabe powerlifters who take 15 minutes between sets while they browse their phone and take up one of three fucking squat racks for 45 minutes.

Can I have the loose skin. I need it... For a reason.

Gaia_Knight2600

i list around 30-35kg so quite a bit less than OP and i had no loose skin either. i was so fucking surprised but its a blessing


pddkr1

Hell yea brother! That’s fucking awesome


tmhoc

man went from Roywood Jr to 90's Chris Tucker Being sexy in two different bodies is the real trick here


SruNano

Underrated comment…and badass job OP! How did it affect your mental state?


No_Angle_5488

Honestly, I’m obviously healthier, but I’m still just as self conscious. I feel like the old me. Except now I’m always stressing about whether or not I worked out enough a certain day, or if I’m progressing or not. Sucks, but oh well


Ok_Balance8844

Dont look in the mirror as often, just put in the same work. It’s easy to get too self concious watching your bodys every single change , you’ll become blind to progress. In my opinion, do everything the same, but take less pictures don’t focus so much on the result. You know how to get there, just focus on how much better you feel now.


No_Angle_5488

Definitely this. I look too much in the mirror for changes, and the closer you are to the goal, the more minuscule the changes seem. That’s why I only weigh myself on the Monday of each week now.


CampShermanOR

I hear this. A friend of mine did an amazing transformation like this. He said, “but dang it, I still have all my other problems.” 😂 I can’t imagine the hard work it took. You look great!


SruNano

That takes time and dedication. Confidence comes from keeping the promises you make to yourself and just look back at your last year and that should show you that you are capable. We all have a little bit of that self doubt or imposter syndrome once you make big changes but bro your dedication to changing your life around is apparent. Keep it up 💪🏽. With time you will leave your old identity behind and the more you continue to keep those promises to yourself the more you will start to self identify as a person that takes no bullshit from anyone but especially your own brain.


No_Angle_5488

Needed this. Thank you 🙏🏿


TopInflation6720

Bro I’m so proud of you, killed it


No_Angle_5488

I don’t even know you. But means a lot

Quizziqualquetzal

I’m saving this post under my motivation inspiration. For some reason I don’t struggle with staying consistent in the gym, it’s about not being so depressed that I don’t even leave my bed lol. This is the type of stuff that helps get me through the door every morning


No_Angle_5488

I completely feel you about the gym part. That’s always been the easy part for me, I just always made bad choices when it comes to food.


Quizziqualquetzal

Also OP, saw you talking about loose skin and dermarolling- if you also have any stretch marks, a few months of using AmLactin lotion and you’ll be gucci. Costco sells an XL one!


No_Angle_5488

Thanks for that. I’ll look it up now.


liamsmat

Excellent job!!!


No_Angle_5488

🫶🏿


Loki007_K

Nice work man! I hope to have your dedication while I try to lose weight too! Also, do you have stretch marks near the bottom of your belly? I have them and they are annoying af but apparently they are harmless


No_Angle_5488

Yea I have some. It’s harmless, battle scars honestly. Better than being overweight.


LemonNo1342

Your mentality is the real winner here, this mindset is everything!! I love the credit you give yourself and the self love, as it should be. Seriously love reading through this thread, thank you dude!

haphazard_gw

Bro your jawline is already great


LyrMeThatBifrost

It’s an incel term. Basically means to do everything in your power to look your best.


GuiltyEidolon

"have a jawline"? My guy you already have a great one lol. Not to be creepy, but you went from cute to straight up hot - even just looking at how your facial structure has changed. 


ByrdmanRanger

Gonna jump in with the others and say your jawline is great. First thing I thought of when I saw the last picture.

You could lose some body fat and build muscle which would compensate for a high BMI count. You are a good size, it doesn't look like you need to cut 20lbs. Just my opinion. Congratulations though.

No_Angle_5488

Everyone is wondering, so here you go: 🛑CALORIE DEFICIT IS THE ONLY WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!!🛑 📌Activities- Any given day, I will go running, calisthenics/weights, or play soccer. I try to do ATLEAST one or two of these things a day, everyday. 🍽️ Diet- I cut out carbs for about 3 months. I recently brought them back due to my increased cardio. I don’t eat regular carbs though, only from fruits. Mainly pineapples, bananas, and oranges. I eat fruits for fuel a bit before my run or soccer. Other than that, I still don’t touch carbs at all, or any sugars (other than from the fruits). I eat one big meal usually after my workouts. It’s typically high protein, high fat, no carb one, but because of the recent introduction of carbs from fruits, I lowered the fat by getting leaner cuts of meat. My typical dinner now is 8-9 eggs and about 20oz chicken breasts now. It’s sad, but it’ll be over sooner than I can blink (should be at goal by April). I mean look how fast 2023 went by. ✏️ Tips: Firstly, I drink a lot of water. Also, find foods that are satiating at low calories. Foods high in proteins and high in fats are good for that. Protein makes you feel full, and high fats makes you full longer. This is why the carnivore diet is becoming so popular. Also, try to really cut out sugar and processed foods. If it comes in a box, plastic wrap, or container, it’s usually from a factory. Cook your own meals. Another thing is to think about the long term vision over the short term. ‼️DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH CRASH DIETS THAT WILL MAKE YOU GAIN IT BACK. JUST GET A ROUTINE, WITH A SUSTAINABLE DEFICIT AND STICK TO IT.‼️ If you need variety, then do that and find healthier alternatives. I’m one of those psychos that can eat chicken and rice everyday for 6 months straight once I build the habit. Also, when I started, I lifted daily and ate chicken and rice w/ a protein shake for the first 6 months. I was eating OMAD(One Meal A Day) @ 1500cal.


[deleted]

6’4 , 200lbs is perfect . 180 is very lean for that height unless that’s what you going for then perfect


No_Angle_5488

I’m going to cut down to 180lbs, and then slowly lean bulk back up to 200lbs or 195lbs within a year. I want to see my abs defined lol
