In your opinion how much do I stand to gain?

[TurbulentDan12]

I've been in the process of trying to lose weight for a while now. Just 3 years ago I was north of 280 and last year at this time I was 260ish and now I'm about 240. I'm 6'3 so don't be that alarmed by the weight I'm not morbidly obese but I'm obviously overweight.

My ultimate goal is to get down to 200 pounds.

Going from 280 to 240 I've seen a huge change in the way I look as to be expected. Especially in my face.

But now I sort of question how much more I'll actually change. I know my body would be much different if I was slimmer, but how much do I stand to gain facially in your opinion? I'm sort of bias to the situation, but how visible is it to you that I am overweight facially?

And regardless I'm going to try to lose the weight for my health. Becoming more presentable/attractive is just a bonus. Thanks in advance :D

from your photo's , you just look like a 'big guy' , in a good way - like being tall and wide and in shape but not a fat guy .. :)

I think if you will lose more weigth there will be more change at your cheeks ( so your face will get less round , and your cheekbones will get more visible) , but I think facial changes are most noticable at the beginning of the weight loss no ?

well I don't really know because I'm in the opposite team of you - busy with gaining weight that is :D

but your face doesn't really say : overweight ! , it doesn't say slim guy either , but that's not so bad :)

Your face would be noticeably different if you dropped 40lbs of mostly fat. There is no question. You would have defined cheek bones and a more square jaw line. There's a lot to gain in terms of athleticism too. You'd be a lot quicker and more agile. Nobody complained about being too athletic...

Your face doesn't look "overweight" to me. You may see more of a difference if you drop down to 200 though. But that's not a bad thing. It sounds like you'd be in a healthy range which is never unattractive. You'll be fine regardless.

You probably will not lose any more in your face. I'm your height, I weight a little less then you, but at times I've weighed anywhere from 190-230... 190 is like my bottom, with my frame and muscle mass... There is slight change in checks but it's not really noticeable. Your body will definitely clean up though if you come down from 240 to 200. Pack on some muscle when you get to 200. =D
