theMonster5 74 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 This guy Matt used to weight 497 but for the past 6 years he's been working out and he lost around 270 pounds. He asked people for donation to remove his excess skin so he can look fit and normal. In just two days, he had already raised over $42K of the $20K needed. Wow! The guy really need the surgery because the extra skin show man boobs. Read the story on Cosmo. Check his GoFundMe page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORD GAGA 1,271 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 This kind of thing happens when you loose a lot of weight over a very short period of time... that being said it wouldn't be nice to live with and hopefully the surgery is helpful for him... though from his other posts i can kind of see him becoming rather narcissistic hope I'm wrong though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 You can't remove hundreds of pounds of weight with lipo. It would kill the person.if you lose hundreds of pounds, you have to have skin removal surgery in some areas. That's how it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellspont 1,468 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Why do people continue to give money if the goal has been doubled? give it to a charity or someone who needs it also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcoop 628 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Some of the replies in here are just mean spirited and down right nasty. Shameful.Congratulations to Matt on his weight loss and now excess skin surgery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole 1,809 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I don't think we should be making assumptions lol. Not everyone is a personal trainer/body expert who knows how to lose weight efficiently. He probably did this in his own terms and I have seen people on other news programs with excess skin from normal weight loss. Good on him for losing the weight though, he obviously cares about his health and is making a change in his life which I think we should be focusing on.

Stigma 205 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 He's not lying... he just wasn't doing something right, otherwise that wouldn't have formed on his body after losing a lot of weight. You obviously know nothing about weight loss. What he has is normal for someone who has been extremely obese. It's not just loosing several kilos, but we're talking about dozens. He weighted 225 kg and now only 120kg. Form these 120kg, at least 20 kg are excess skin. The skin normally is elastic, but not to that extent. So, before making such stupid accusations of not doing something the right way, just inform yourself about how it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix 17,395 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 A girl from my high school was extremely overweight and she lost around 50/60 kg but she still looked overweight 'cause of the skin that was left, she used private trainer who also gave her food plan, so she was doing it right, extra skin must stay if you were that overweight and then lost A LOT. It has to be removed by a surgery, she's planning to do it too. 💎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haroon 49,685 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 If you lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time then you'll probably have excess skin from where your skin stretched to accommodate fat before That's why it's advised to lose weight slowly and gradually so your body has time to adjust and for things to attempt to get back to normal, but to be honest, if you're already that overweight then I'd imagine it'd be pretty much impossible to avoid being left with excess skin At the end of the day, it's better to have lost weight and be left with excess skin than stay obese, so he's still won at the end of the day Congratulations to Matt on his weight loss and best of luck to him with his upcoming surgery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
