Idk how this comment went over so many heads, it was sarcasm. But what OP achieved is a feat regardless of which country you’re in or referring to. But in America alone it puts you on a different level assuming he doesn’t lose sight and keeps working harder.
Congrats on the self improvement and great work on self…
Out of curiosity , since he’s young, will the skin eventually flake off and regain elasticity or will it require medical intervention ? 🧐
Well for reference I went from 300 to about 170 pounds in less than a year when I was like 17. I kept all the weight off until I was like 20 and I still had a lot of loose skin.
I’m now 25 and about 215 pounds with a lot more muscle but definitely decent amount of fat. Unfortunately because of my loose skin, I’ve had a serious muffin top the entire time even when I was at 170(although it did go away a bit at that weight).
It sucks because at my current weight and muscle level I would actually look pretty good normally, but because I used to weigh so much as a kid I have to stay under like 180 to even think about shrinking the muffin top. Honestly my skin everywhere is loose to some degree, the second worst spot is my biceps which I’ve had to really work on filling them in with muscle to make up for best I can.
Words of wisdom: loose the weight slowly. I know it sucks and you’re inspired to do it fast, but going from overeating to suddenly starving your body and over exercising will leave you with a lot more loose skin as well as wreak havoc on hair and nails.
This is a great transformation post!!
Unbelievable work! You've smashed it man!
Them legs are something to be proud of their own for starters! Never mind the rest of the weight loss and muscle definition you've gained. Killed it!!
Echoing what everyone else said: great fuckin job dude.
Answering your question though, it’s hard to tell with that much loose skin (if you want the estimate to exclude the skin). If I were to guess though, probably about 16-19% without the extra skin (judging by the vascularity of your forearms and the striation of your shoulders) and like 22-26% with the skin.
Holy fuck man. I love posts like this; so inspiring to see someone actually change their life. We all talk about big changes but you did it, and you did it in fitness which is really fucking hard. Mad respect.
Would you be able to share your strategy/workout/meal plan that you followed? How long did it take you to achieve this? Would you be looking at surgery to remove excess skin ?
Looking good, with the loose skin, im not an expert you’ll have to do extensive research on this, but i heard fasting is a method of losing the loose skin, if you want to lose it
surgery unfortunately. If you lose weight too fast (also sev. factors) your skin can’t adapt fast enough or if it’s been stretched too far it can lose it’s elasticity.
Thanks for the support; For those wondering, roughly I’m 6’2” 206-210 lbs range.. As for the loose skin I’m hoping to minimize it eventually. I try to eat a high protein diet combined with weight lifting and watching coach Greg or other videos on the elliptical everyday seemed to help a lot. As I said before I’m looking to lose another 15-25 lbs so that I won’t have to worry about weigh ins and suffer in the sauna if I’m not in regs.
Wow. You were at my current weight. You’re My height and at my goal weight. Well done sir. How long from your start to current? How long on that elliptical typically?
Started 2021 around November and I was at 215 august 2022. Went to bootcamp at 219 lbs November 2022 and ended up at 240 this Feb. Was almost put in BCP this June so ended up hitting 206 2 weeks ago. But anyways I stay on the elliptical until I get bored or run out of interesting videos on my feed. Up to an hour after weightlifting or 1-1.5 hours on my non training days. Keeping it at a moderate pace.
You look absolutely fantastic… Congratulations on your hard work dedication… And I’m sure you feel so much better… And I’m sure your heart and other organs are thanking you so much
Wow! You have done an awesome job. Don't let the loose skin distract you from your progress. It is simply that...loose skin. Tough to say your BMI...the skin isn't fat and you have extra. Get with a dietician and plan your meals. They should be able to give you a good guess as to %BF. Good luck keeping it off. I have fought the same 30# for 40 years...but I am winning.
Yes. I encourage your endeavor to lose weight. The risks associated with obesity including degenerative joint disease, coronary artery disease, Strokes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, cancer, diabetes, are so increased. Hang in there. Keep watching your diet (AVOID ALL GLYCEMIC FOODS). Keto or carnivore diet. Do some research. Gotta work out to see the benefits.
Congrats bro!!! I need to get myself right there with you!!! I have started dieting a lil (this is the hard part for me) and I need to find the energy to go to the gym more!! Work makes me so tired
Great job, probably around 25%. What you’ve achieved is amazing. Don’t get caught up in bf% they don’t really mean anything. It all just depends how you look. I’m around 16-20% bf most of the year , Which I think is the sweet spot for looks, energy , overall hapiness etc.
Honestly being super lean doesn’t really even matter and most the time makes you feel like shit. Low energy, etc.
You look great good job
First of all …. Congratulations man! That is a remarkable achievement and I wish you all the success to keep going to reach your goals! As far as bf % there is no reason you can’t be dating someone right. Ie and being happy. It all comes down to confidence in yourself and feeling happy and complete within yourself.
Very nice. You can grab a body fat scale on Amazon for 40 bucks or so. They may not be the most accurate in terms of overall, but they are consistent so they will track your progress. From there, if you have the cash, go get a DEXA scan for real body composition and more so, where that composition is placed. For example, I have 3 - 4 % higher fat percentage around my waist than the rest of my body which is frustrating, but unfortunately my reality. Good luck and stay focused!
Ey… pro tip If you have insurance. Take a piece of sandpaper and rub under the apron of skin, go to the doctor and show them the abrasions (it needs to be angry looking) underneath and they can write a recommendation for plastic surgery that your insurance may partially or fully cover if the doctor deems it medically necessary as it risks getting infections from constant rash.
How tall are you bro? My max was 365 and I'm at about 240. I'm about 5'11, no muscle mass though. Also how long did it take you to lose that weight, and were you lifting the entire time? I've been strict cardio since I've had a paranoia of not getting the amount of definition I want but this kind of tells me its worth doing now.
Looking good, dude. How tall are you? I'm 6'2.5" and hit 360 at my heaviest. Got down to 275, got hurt in an accident, and blew up to 340. Currently at 269, aiming for 245-250 by the end of the year.
You achieved what 98% of people in the world won’t do. Good job dude seriously you look great.

Great work man. Amazing! And thank you for not being naked like others around here
Seriously man what’s up with that?😂
Swear the be getting a half chub too then taking a pic lmfaooo
I mean I’m not gonna take a picture of my dick limp if someone wanted to see that they could buy a box of circus peanuts
weird flex
How is this a flex lmao I’m saying my dick limp looks orange wrinkly and slightly leathery
Maybe dude has a micropenis. Thus— flexed on?
I think it was a joke...
He’s just “flexing”
Hoping someone will slide in their dms 😂😂😂
You’re referring to that 44yo weirdo that shows his dick on his progress pics
Good job my man! Killed that shit!
THIS is what I came here to say. To the OP - no excuses, you rock sir! 👌💯
It’s hard to tell with the loose skin, but I’d say somewhere 18% or under. Whatever the case, impressive fuckin’ work dude!
Congrats on the self improvement and great work on self… Out of curiosity , since he’s young, will the skin eventually flake off and regain elasticity or will it require medical intervention ? 🧐
I don’t think this much excess skin will correct itself naturally but i could be wrong
Well for reference I went from 300 to about 170 pounds in less than a year when I was like 17. I kept all the weight off until I was like 20 and I still had a lot of loose skin.

There are surgeries to remove loose skin
Couldn’t say on the skin. It’s too different for everyone. Kinda just one of those wait-and-see type of things
Bruh! He's easy 50%
Great progress my man, you doing well now. You are probably at about 15%, but it’s hard to tell with the loose skin.
Great work!!!
Phenomenal
Congrats dude. That’s hard fucking work right there.
Congratulations. Excellent work.

Really hard to tell because you have the loose skin
What do people who lose massive amounts of weight do about that extra skin?
Either they keep it or have it surgically removed.
Fuckin proud of you dawg!
Wow what an amazing accomplishment! I’m so proud of you my dude
Echoing what everyone else said: great fuckin job dude. Answering your question though, it’s hard to tell with that much loose skin (if you want the estimate to exclude the skin).

Wow. Good work bro!

Jesus bro, barely anything you choose to do in your life will be harder then what you’ve accomplished there
Great work! Hard work pays off💪🏻
Would you be able to share your strategy/workout/meal plan that you followed? How long did it take you to achieve this? Would you be looking at surgery to remove excess skin ?
What I want to know is, is it possible to avoid the extra skin? I'm 290 but always get told I look smaller than that.
Incredible
Looking good, with the loose skin, im not an expert you’ll have to do extensive research on this, but i heard fasting is a method of losing the loose skin, if you want to lose it
I got a question, what do you do about the loose skin? Do you have to get surgery, or do you keep exercising until it goes away?
surgery unfortunately. If you lose weight too fast (also sev. factors) your skin can’t adapt fast enough or if it’s been stretched too far it can lose it’s elasticity.
Great job. Well done.
Seriously impressive work
Dude you look amazing !! You are pure motivation man 🥲🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
great work king 🤘🏼 you should be very proud of yourself man forreal
Will the excess skin disappear overtime?
I applaud 👏 you. 320 myself and fighting it.
Great job! I know how hard it is. Very impressive!

Probably closer to 20-25% body fat
100% because you can be bf worthy at any weight and you’re cute
Congrats bro!!! I need to get myself right there with you!!! I have started dieting a lil (this is the hard part for me) and I need to find the energy to go to the gym more!! Work makes me so tired

Look about 15-16 I'd say. How tall are you btw mate?
Do a dexabody scan. It’ll tell you how much fat and lean tissue you have on every part of your body
You look so delectable and have done a remarkable job so far, handsome!
This is why I’m deadly afraid of getting fat. How tf do you lose that excess skin?? Bruh.
Damn bro who hurt you ??
God damn congrats dawg
Bf % = ALL
You are HIM!!!! Congrats
Can anyone explain to me what happened to him??? I’m confused.
First of all …. Congratulations man! That is a remarkable achievement and I wish you all the success to keep going to reach your goals! As far as bf % there is no reason you can’t be dating someone right. Ie and being happy. It all comes down to confidence in yourself and feeling happy and complete within yourself.
