Hey Scott congrats on the loss you and I Are very similar I also have the skin factor. I'm 6'1'' Also and I told my Doc that I wanted to be 185 per the chart and he told me based on my frame not realistic. As I have heavier bones from being Mo and SMO for the past 17yrs. My skin is pretty stretched also and my WLS surgeon recommended that I check out a PS about having the loose skin removed As he said I am probably carrying around approx 15- 20 lbs of excess skin. When I look at my arms My fore arm looks good probably the most defined part of my body. I can just barely see a bicep and then I get to the bat wings or in my case terodactyl wings. I too have been working out to try and Add some definition to my arms and legs. My abs are a lost cause right now I do the crunches but with all the loose skin there is no perceived change. So I know where you are coming from. Started 465 day of operation down to 209 and want to be 185.
