I watched that tonight. If I were to lose to the "by Hoyle" proportion for a guy my size, I'd be about 179 at most - a loss of 159 pounds. I think it is more realistic for me to weigh about 200 pounds given my shoulder width and frame. Either way, a big loss.

I was really shocked at that guy's skin. It looked so awful hanging there. I cannot afford surgery to repair myself if I get drooping skin like that, so I'm hoping a 128-138 pound loss won't do that to me. Even if so, it'd still be worth it. I'd much rather deal with skin than fat.
