For those who have not met me, I am a BIG BOY.

Weighing 405 pounds 2 months ago and getting the news that I must be at/under a BMI of 34. That means for me, I must weigh approx 230 pounds.

185 to lose.

I am concerned for the visibility of my enormous chest when the gut begins to disappear.

I am working out daily and have determination.

25 pounds down and 150 to go.

if you bind it may get easier as you lose. For me they were saggier and easier to manipulate.

Are there health issues besides body size?
