Apparently when jettisoning fat, it is good to do strength exercises as they (somehow) improve the elasticity of the skin, helping it spring back, instead of staying stretched and sagged.

Dunno if true - there are a lot of health myths.

Wouldn’t hurt. Stretched skin does shrink, sometimes to a crazy degree. Large amounts of water and fruits/veggies would probably help more than just weight lifting. Obviously lifting and cardio are great for your health, but if you were interested in shrinking loose skin, hydration and diet would be my angle of attack

I used to be obese (260lbs not working out at all playing video games 14 hours/day) when I was addicted to WoW doing the rank 14 grind. When I finally lost the weight by running I had loose skin around my waist. It eventually all got absorbed due to having a clean diet with lots of fruit and veggies for years

I was classified as obese on my EMR because of BMI (lol). We actually had a good laugh about it the last time I was in the office. It doesn't work well for anyone with high muscle mass as it doesn't distinguish the difference between muscle and fat. It has its medical purposes, but it's a very general and most often inaccurate way of determining good health.

You're all horribly obese. None of you are being honest except lulz with the selfie at the computer.

Fat

6 foot 3, 215. I'd need to get under about 200 to be within "normal" range according to the linked chart, which seems about right*. Used to hover right around there for many years then put on about ~10-15 pounds or so when I was laid up with clot issues awhile back (I don't wish that on anyone--it sucks) and haven't lost it yet due to winter. Wife is 5 foot 7 and she'd-axe-murder-me-if-I-posted-her-weight which I find silly/annoying because I want to since she's slim and ought to be proud.

*Right for me, at least, but then I'm just a regular middle-age dude who's in pretty decent shape. The chart probably doesn't apply to the large population of hobbyist bodybuilders on the board here.

Anorexia is a serious health problem. Wishing you well. 18.5 isn't healthy.

Passing pro-tip since you probably need it more than me: hips are made of fat. How's that inverted triangle figure treating you? Mine are even with my shoulders.
