Default Down to 215lbs, YEA BOY....

Oct 4th weighin is now 215lbs...
I am hoping to make 205lbs by Jan 2012 (24 months)

New pics to follow in Nov...

Have some loose skin in midsection but what can I do, I've lost 190lbs so far and I'm bound to have some...
Once I hit 205 I will continue to train threw the summer, then speak to a PS about a possible surgery.

Til then, I have to compare myself to myself

WAS 405lbs
NOW 215lbs....I'll take some loose skin at 205 vs 405 fat bastard

NEVER GIVE UP, U CAN DO IT
YEP YEP WOO WOO.......

Good job. Surgery is or for the course. If I ever get to my goal I will be doing the same.

Good **** Joel!! Damn this is making me want it more! I am doing ok with mine still. Only 30lbs so far and I seemed to have hit a plateau at 238lbs.

I am on my 4th week of the Insanity program right now trying to break it, the only thing that sucks about this program is trying to eat enough calories to make it through the sessions...good god this program is tuff...

That's impressive.
I believe now, you can qualify for skin removal on the free.
I've known some that lost a lot and all they had to do is show the doctor the amount of overlap that is taking place and the insurance will take care of the cost.

Congrats man. Quite an accomplishment.
I saw a guy in the gym that had the loose midsection skin removed. He basically had a scar around his waist like a belt but thin.
We all carry scars that remind us of what was-so you will have yours.

Thanks.....Well I am going to train at 205 to 215 for another yr...
This will give my body another yr at my goal weight, age is a factor (46 soo to be 47)

I will look into surgery 2013...
I only have about an 1" on my lower abs and about 1/2" upper chest (Under arms)

Its not too bad...
I figure by adding 2 to 3lbs of muscle a yr it will pull the skin up some?

I still might leave well enough alone, complications like infection are common
I will find the RIGHT PS and ask alot of questions if I opt to spend 5 to 10K

Lastly I am getting my TEST check in Dec..
If its low HRT/HGH treatments (DR WILL MONITOR)

I dont believe I am low but u never know..
I am in a 36 waist down from a 54....

I believe in 6 months I will be at a 34 waist
I would be happy there, before surgery, after surgery I would imagine I would be a 32

I WILL NEVER EVER STOP, I WILL BE BIG, LEAN, JACKED AND HARD..
U MUST SEE YOURSELF THIS WAY FOR IT TO HAPPEN.

Eat Clean, Trian Hard & Rest
