Loose Skin After Weight Loss.?

Another weight loss question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:

Question: I don’t know how to explain my problem so you guys can really understand how I feel. I feel really doomed. I apologize for any spelling mistakes because I am not originally from the US.

I came to the United States when I was 21 and I was a little over weight. I started exercising and going to the gym. I had already started doing it in my country because I had been much heavier before and I had completely changed myself and the way I look. I was really scared that in this country I will gain it back because my first job was in a fast food restaurant. As I said I was a little overweight when I came to US but that was not the biggest problem… the problem was… all that extra skin after the weight loss back in my country – my stomach, my thighs.

I was really hoping the extra skin would go away with a lot of exercises but it didn’t happen. When dressed I look like a completely normal guy and I would say that I am good looking and attractive. My stomach is loose with stretch marks and that is so gross. I never go to the pool or the beach. I never undress myself in front of people. The worst part is when I like somebody and I know that I am not gonna have her or him or I know that somebody else likes me. I don’t like when somebody touches me because they may find out that my belly is not that tight. It’s been 5 years now. At one point during that time I was really in love with a couple of guys and one girl but because I couldn’t bring myself to normal I didn’t do nothing to be with them and I felt so depressed that I gained weight back and lost it again.
I am 26 now and I look normal except the loose skin. I’ve recently started exercising a lot again and I have been doing some research on some expensive tightening creams online but how many bottles would I need to use get rid of all the skin?… or Surgery but that’s probably gonna cost thousands of dollars to fix the parts of my body I want and I can’t afford it at the moment.
I am a handsome guy and everybody says how cute I am but they don’t know that I am the unhappiest person in the world. I feel like my youth is flying away. But the worst feeling of everything is… I am still virgin.

Can Anyone Help Me Make a Weight Loss Plan?

What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…

Question: I am trying to figure out what a healthy daily food/water/diet is for myself. I have tried looking on the internet, but I am not getting accurate answers.

My questions are:

How many OUNCES of water do I need to drink daily?
What is an appropriate amount of calories daily for trying to lose weight?
What are my target daily grams for fat, sodium, carbs, protein, fiber, sugar, etc?
How much time per day should be spent exercising? Or per week?

And if anyone has some tips for getting rid (or lessening the appearance of) stretch marks, I’m all ears.

I am in my 20s and am 230 lbs. Answers targeted for a person in that age and weight would be greatly appreciated.

Answer: The amount of water varies from person to person and is not subject to categorize as a general basis for all people. Just drink as much water as your body tells you you need.

Try working out (not exercising = recreational) for a good hour (up to). Using Aerobics and Circuit Training is a great way to develop muscle and lose fat. You can go to almost any mma training website and pick out some exercises to use for your circuit revolution. Try to go Upper body to Lower body to Upper body, etc. You can also add in some strength training sessions where you use 1-5 reps of at least 3-5 sets. To get faster results, you are going to have to pass that pain threshold that comes with muscle fatigue. Its not easy but once you pass it, you will realize that there is a whole new level of training that can be acquired.

Dieting is pretty much the easiest of them all as you just need to simply have the will (choose) to eat a more balanced meal and less fast food. Its as simple as eating more fruits and vegetables and side dishes rather than have the whole plate be the main course with almost equal amounts of side dishes that I see so many do and wonder why they cant lose weight. Try substituting breakfast for a protein drink, and a small well balanced meal. Protein drinks are great for surpressing hunger and making you feel more full than you really are since it is released in your body at a slow pace.

Another important factor is your mental determination and visualization…if you cannot see yourself already thin and consider it impossible it will be just that. Think in terms of you already being the body frame you want and eventually your body will have no choice but to comply and tranform itself into that mental image you continuously meditate on. It helps to connect with strong emotional feelings about wanting and needing to achieve your ideal frame.

Hope this really long answer helps…have fun
