Im with ya........Be strong my friend...........THEY WILL BACK off......I promise.


As a warning.....If there is another post by either FF or PHATE in the same likeness........I will give an infraction.......for hurting a new member and the integrity of this site. A public apology is due as well.



Just..............a sec.........I am working on your post.........

Thanks, I really appreciate this. I don't want to be ripped, I just want to get rid of the hanging of the skin.

oh geez! i didn't mean to hurt your feelings. i was trying to make you laugh. If you can laugh you can survive and overcome.

YOU HAVE LOST SO MUCH WEIGHT YOU HAVE LOOOSE SKIN DUDE! Be proud of that. most stay fat have a heart attack and die.

and p.s for your info- I used to be over 240 lbs and had a 46 inch waiste

can you say that big brother chillen?

infract me!! ha! you should of backed me. You knew I was not making fun of him. CHECK YOUR MOTIVE DUDE!

Yea..i wasn't trying to hurt anyone's feelings..jeez...chill pill chillen.

You need to check youself.......sometimes, brotha.....Im not worried about my feelings, brotha......but the new members' feelings (this is my motive, my friend)

and this isnt about ME OR YOU.......my brotha.......

Thank you for your mature response and apology....

It's definitely not something I'm proud of. The weight loss yes, the skin, no. My brother lost even more then me and doesn't have this problem, it's extremely disheartening. Every time I feel good coming back from the gym, I take a look in the mirror before getting in the shower and hate what I see.

Thank you........

But the new member doesnt know that.......we need to be careful with our words.......ESPECIALLY.......when one is being SO PERSONAL and displaying pics of themselves........and baring their......SOUL....to get help.......

oh B.S.

sue me! or wait-- type another 1000000 words attacking me in an attempt to over power. blah blah blah



to the loose skin guy,
be patient, keep the weight off, be proud. i have had loose skin and today i don't. having said that- I say this-- if anybody comments on it, say to them "kinda looks like a smiley face don't it?" then you will both laugh and you will be on the road to recovery.

FF

I didnt give an infraction....they apologized......and they were out of line.......

now.....lets be mature.......and return this thread back to the OP's purpose.

This will be my last comment on this.

My next response is the purpose of this thread....

Have a nice day.....

How long did it take you to have a decent amount tightened?

Seriously I could careless.......what you think about me, der.

My purpose was to protect the new member.....get over it.

And, my personality is what it is........and interpretations of it.....are well...subject to misinterpretations sometimes......and I accept that as a fact.

Two things upset me on the site: hurting another member or a spammer hurting another member-----and this is on par with my personality and what I attempt to do for this site.

My personality and what I do is on par and within the rules.

Have a very nice day.

Don't feel bad about those inappropriate and immature comments. Like I said, if you work on building your midsection you can really help it. Chillen knows a lot more about HOW to do that than I do, so listen to him.

there were a few things i learned.

and this was a big one. stand all the way up nice and straight. when we are heavy, and even as we loose, we spend a lot of time looking down, sucking in, sucking it up, and all that. the less you look down the better your posture will be-- just decise that in the mirror is the only time you wil "check your waisteline"

lift weights. there are great lifters here, back and shoulders will help you stand up nicer and will fill in some of the excess.

for the skin,, I keep vaseline in the shower and I put some on with the water runnign on me. it will keep you nice and moist.. not too much- bag balm is even better. Epson salt soaking in the tub was another favorite of mine. It helped with my sore muscles, made me sweat real good, and is supposedly good for the skin.

I ate vitamin E (still do) and used vitamin e oil extract on th stretch marks. for the really bad ones you can use this scar vanishing treatment they have- but it is expensive.

There is a guy at my gym with 3 times what you have and he swears the steam room is helping too.

that is all I have.

good for you to have enough willingness to see thru the crap.

oh-- one other thing!

SWEAT DAILY!

FF

Your mental "displacement" needs to be "replaced".

I do not have an enlarged ego; it gets enlarged through you and possibly another inflating it in your own mind. I have never changed since I joined in May 07, rather some perceptions on what I do have changed. Some of these perceptions of what I do are faulty.

Normally, I just ignore you......


Enough.....Der........


Lets move on...shall we.....LOL.....

You just have to get over me, girl.

Can we stop the arguing and post good suggestions of what to eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner?

I'm trying to find the place where I eat enough...not too much, and not too little.
