Losing weight

Just throwing in few tips:

A good diet is way more important than working out to lose weight.
Use an app like Lose It or MyFitnessPal to track your calories and your progress.
You can't be sure you'll have loose skin. And even if you do, you can fix it with surgery. Also, what's better, obese or fit with a bit if loose skin?

All I'm hearing are pussy excuses. Go get the gym membership now.

Been on keto. Lost 60 lbs in a year from 200. No real noticable marks. Check out r/keto, quite effective. What it really let me do was cut off all sugar and excess carbs.

Im 5' 11" by the way.

You're small enough that you shouldn't have skin problems.

Do weights at the same time as you lose weight, though. It'll keep up the muscle density and should keep your skin elasticated.

You will need to pace the weight loss. The fatter you are the quicker you lose weight in the beginning of any diet/exercise regime, thus why all those super obese people have saggy skin.

Get it into your head that this is a 6m-1yr project. That you intend to lose 1-2lbs a week. No crash dieting or half starving yourself.

ALSO, lift weights. It will keep muscle mass on and help you keep some shape and bulk.
