Lost 70lbs and loose skin problem
I have lost 70lbs and put on a bit of muscle so the loose skin is only slight at the moment,however I still have a 45 inch stomach and need to lose about another 2 stone which I fear will cause loose skin problems to become unsightly.
So I am thinking if I add about 14lbs of muscle over the next year and reduce by another stone the increased muscle size should mean my skin area does not need to reduce by as much and over the time period should adapt and give me a lower bodyfat percentage.
Any ideas comments or suggestions welcome
Oh this is posted in my gym
Santa please give me a fat wallet and a small waist, and please don't get it the wrong way round like you did last year!
Made me laugh, hope it does the same for you
merry christmas all here.

I went from 280lbs down to 205lbs and put some muscle on and at 230lbs. The best thing for me for skin was HGH, after 3 months I saw a difference in the skin, it's much tighter and thinner, I'm almost at a point where you can't even tell. It's expensive, but for older folks, HGH is a great thing to add to TRT.
Oh yeah, and I'm 50 in 3 months.
Thanks for that ErieToPitt,
The Endo actualy mentioned GH so maybe I can talk her into it :). Your not the first person I've heard saying good things about GH, I suppose its if you can get the real thing, Your not in the UK by any chance? As I would ask privately where you get it from,just in case?
I'm in the US, I go UGL for my GH, and a clinic for TRT. Message me if you want to know the UGL.
First off great job on the weight loss, takes alot of dedication to change your lifestyle and lose that amount of weight. As for the loose skin ive heard it can take up to a year for the skin to regain its elasticity, Although as we age the skin doesnt seem to idk the right word but come back as easily as it used to. But regardless your much healthier after losing all that weight and thats the most important thing. I think your plan sounds good trying to add some muscle to your frame now, your 157lbs at 5'11 and you want to lose another stone? 28lbs, that would have you weighing 129lbs, you dont want to weight 129lbs being that underweight can be very unhealthy also. When i first started lifting I was at almost those exact stats, its not pretty to look at even with extremely tight skin like i had. I looked sickly, like a skelton. Check this out, before and after pics, https://www.eroids.com/pics/3-year-transformation.....never-satisfied the main pic was where I was at currently about a year ago, and the before pics is where i started around 5'11 125-130lbs. It wasnt pretty man. I would reconsidner. Why do you want to weigh 130lbs? Stats show people that are a tiny but overweight actally live longer then people who are underweight. Just something to think about.
Hi Irongame,I'm 217 lbs or 15 stone 7 lbs, I do not want to look like a long distance runner with low bodyfat,so I aim to gain about 14lbs of muscle over the next year and lose approximately one stone in weight. I've only just finished my 10th week in the gym and amazed that after over a decade there is muscle memory and how quickly I've bounced back.
My aim is to get down to a fairly low bodyfat level and continue weight training as I'm enjoying it immensly. I have strength and bodyshape goals for the coming year.
Thanks for your support and your three year pics are incredible.
