50 lbs +
That is how much weight I have lost since last summer when I was diagnosed diabetic and started to eat right. The closest thing I can figure out is that I am sweating out fat. My a** is nothing but a bit of wrinkled hairy skin, skin folds and wrinkles all over my body. If I were to sleep with a woman now, the lights would have to go out, I am awful to look at now
I know the skin will eventually go back tight again but its quite different looking at myself now.

Well done Track!
Stick to your diet as this is the most important thing you can do for yourself.
No it won't you need surgery for that.
Good job though.
Weight loss is simple, burn more calories than you take in.
That is all.

Professor loses weight on junk food diet

KNOXVILLE (WATE/CNN) – What if you could lose weight while eating tons of Little Debbie snacks, Twinkies, Oreos and sugary cereal? That’s what one man did in order to prove that losing weight is more about the number of calories consumed than the quality of those calories.
For ten weeks, nutrition professor Mark Haub at Kansas State University ate mostly junk food, limiting himself to 1,800 calories per day. The result? He lost 27 pounds. An average male his size usually consumes around 2,600 calories in a day.
At the end of the experiment he had not only shed some pounds, but also lowered hos cholesterol by 20 percent, and reduced triglycerides by 39 percent.
“That’s where the head scratching comes from,” Haub said. “Does that mean I’m healthier? Or does it mean that the way we define healthy from a biology standpoint, that we’re missing something?”
Even though the experiment was a success, Haub says he would not necessarily recommend this as a goof way to lose weight.
“I’m stuck in the middle about it,” he said. “I can’t give a concrete answer, there’s just not enough information to do that.”
During the experiment he also took a multivitamin and and drank protein shakes, but two thirds of his diet was “junk food.”
Spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, Dawn Jackson Blatner said she’s not surprised about Haub’s results.
“When you lose weight, regardless of how you’re doing it, even if it’s with packaged foods, generally you will see these marker improve when weight loss has improved.”
However, she still has concerns about the long term effects of eating this way. A lack of fruits and vegetables for extended amounts of time could have unhealthy results like an increased risk for cancer or other diseases, but there is no way to test for those risks.
After adding meat back into his diet at the conclusion of the experiment, Haub’s cholesterol went back up. He plans to add 300 calories back into his diet as well. His final conclusion is that experiments like these cannot determine that one diet or another is healthy or unhealthy in every case, but it depends on a host of factors in each individual case.
Don't worry about the wrinkles. Your skin will bounce back.
Most middle aged women will be grateful you switched off the lights.

Will I Have Loose Skin After Losing 50 Pounds?
he majority of people who lose 50 or more pounds will experience loose skin somewhere on their body. How much loose skin they will end up with and the location of the loose skin will be influenced by several factors beyond their control.
Today we are going to talk about what happens to your body when you lose 50 pounds and what can be done to address any loose skin that is left behind as a result of a significant weight loss.
What Causes Loose Skin After Losing 50 Pounds?
Weight gain is normally a gradual process, and as an individual gains weight, their skin stretches out to adapt to the extra layer(s) of fat. Stretch marks may form as a result of the skin being stretched beyond its limits of elasticity. When an individual loses weight rapidly, the fat that is typically lost is the layer right below the surface of the skin. When the skin can no longer snap back into place due to being overstretched or age-related elasticity loss, it can become saggy and loose.
How Much Loose Skin Will Be Left After Losing 50 Pounds And Where Will It Be?
Losing 50 pounds may not seem like a massive enough weight loss to create a great deal of loose skin, but it can occur in the areas where the highest concentration of fat was eliminated.
Where an individual stores fat is often determined by genetics and is not within their control. Also, the amount of elasticity our skin possesses is also partially determined by our DNA and other outside factors such as our age, how tall we are, how much we weighed before our weight loss, exposure to the elements, our lifestyle habits, our diet, etc.
Individuals who lose a massive amount of weight can often be left with loose skin that creates physical limitations and health issues, including:
Infection;
Chafing;
Appearance;
Mobility.
Understanding that this is a natural byproduct of weight loss helps patients be better prepared with a plan to address this situation.
The amount of loose skin experienced after undergoing a substantial loss of weight and where that loose skin will be located will vary by individual as no two individuals have the exact same DNA (except in rare cases of identical twins). Some individuals who lose weight may not experience any loose skin at all. In general, the greater the weight loss, the more likely it is to end up with loose skin.
Many women tend to store fat in their breasts and their stomachs and, after losing a substantial amount of weight, end up with deflated breasts and loose, saggy skin on their tummies.
