155? Isn't that next to nothing at 5'8"? I gotta get you out and drinking more.

I walked around about 160 in high school and I was kinda chubby. When Melissa got back here from Salt Lake last year she started going through my mother's photo albums and I was looking at old photos of myself and thinking, "That dude doesn't look too bad", but still I had a few extra pounds on me at that point.

Think about the MMA guys that are near my height, most of them are at 135 (Caraway and Garbrandt are 5'8", McDonald 5"9") or 145 (Aldo 5"7", Swanson 5'8" , Stephens 5'9") at weigh-ins, and of course they're walking around a bit higher, but I'm also not going to have the body composition of a 25 year old professional athlete either. They'll probably have more dense muscle mass and less body fat than I will.

Most BMI (I know BMI isn't gospel) indices show "healthy" weights for a 5'8" guy to be between 130 and 160.

I looked hard at a tap list tonight, but instead I drank Diet Cokes and ate a Greek salad with grilled chicken like I should. Go me!

I had some Pringles earlier. And 4 beers, and about 9 shots. Still gonna win this bet. No superbaconcheeseburger for me.

Lol at UFC fighters. Look at Anthony Johnson. He weighs the same as me!

Nah. I'm 5'7" and went from 170 to now 137 and could still lose a few more pounds.

Stepped on the scale this morning and saw 196.2. Shouldn't have any problem being 195.4 or less in 11 days.

How about you RJ? Ready for my paypal info yet?

It's going to be a rough end of the bet but you're hardly in the clear yet. But if my posting seems crankier than usual, you'll know why.

Don't worry, I'll let you know when the time is right.

This thread is disappoint.

So were your survivor pool picks...lol.

Fat people getting less fat. What else do you want? Another MLYLT thread?

Suck it, damn bears. I was referring to the lack of drama, in jest.

Haha. Yeah, I know. No need to even make an effort to get drama started in here. There's enough in the MLYLT and Nima threads to hold OOT over for a while.

We're coming down the home stretch.

Weighed in today at 138, although it read 137 for a few seconds before settling, so I think I'm fairly close to half way between. I'm doing straight keto for this last week as it helps shed some water weight. I really want bread right now.

I thought I'd really embarrass myself by demonstrating what being 90-100 lbs overweight does when you're my height. As a reminder, this is me around 215, but I believe my peak weight was 220-230:



This is me today wearing the same tshirt:



So what did getting so overweight then losing it do to my old, old skin?

I think my stomach did fine - I'm relaxed in this photo, not trying to pull in my stomach:



My upper arms on the other hand, you can definitely see the effect. First photo is normal, second I'm pulling up the loose skin so you can see the difference:





I tried to do the same with my leg/thigh but it's hard to hold a cell phone and pin back loose skin while balancing on one leg. I don't think this really shows the amount of hang, which in my opinion is worse than my arms:





So there you go, kids. Don't get fat in the first place or suffer the consequences.

I kept one of my fattest I ever was shirts. It's terrible to look at it.

Nice job RJ, but don't push too hard over the next few days. 137 works on you. Stay right there.

Not sure I have any pictures to share, but I'll do some digging on Facebook to see what I can find. I've always tried to avoid the camera, but I'm sure I have at least 1 from my heaviest.

RJ,

Your stomach looks way better than I would have expected for someone losing close to 100 pounds. You gotta thank the lord for your old person bitch genes!

Doood, that is super impressive. Your stomach is basically completely flat and unnoticeable you were ever even fat. The rest is honestly hardly even noticeable, and Id bet most ppl wouldnt bat an eye. Very nice ****.

I myself will be stuck with hideous stretch marks the rest of my days, but alas. The message is def true. Fat sucks

Dolphin skin ITT

Excellent work, SGT HEATMISER!

I'm bored...



Congrats on the weigh loss!
And your loose skin is not bad at all.

This absolutely can't be real at this point, right?

Great job RJ!

When Gregorio was putting my head on model bodies earlier today, I found this app and have been ****ing around on it all day.

Yeah she kinda gave it away there

RJ doesn't need any photoshopping, she's already hot

I can't figure out a way to get a good shot of my thighs that wouldn't involve basically a crotch shot.

There really is a decent, but not problematic, amount of loose/baggy skin in my inner thigh and the back of the leg. But even in summer my shorts are knee length so other than swimming, when are my thighs visible? And the current boyfriend doesn't seem to notice or care.

My stomach did fare well, mostly because I stored the vast majority of the really excess fat on my hips/thighs/ass.

+1
