My name is Greg Ryan. I am a high profile fitness expert, champion bodybuilder and best selling author. However, I didn’t start out as one. I had to learn through class rooms and experience. There are no better teachers than exercising on the floors of all those health clubs I visited for so many years.


I had no clue how to workout properly, how many reps, sets, minutes on a treadmill or foods to eat. But, I learned through trial and error. It amazes me how I have kept going consistently all these years coming from a non disciplined background. Here are ten things that have helped me lose weight more efficiently during each visit and have helped me keep going for twenty years straight:


1. Treat your time in the gym as your quiet time for YOU!

2. Set a time frame each time you work out. Walk out if you are not finished!

3. Never do the same workout more than twice in a row. Maybe just change the order of a piece of equipment up.

4. Monitor your heart rate EVERY time you exercise your heart.

5. Never be afraid to ask for help.

6. Do not waste much time between exercises.

7. Focus on the benefits and how you will feel afterwards rather than the discomfort during your workout.

8. Realize you will not be at your best each and every time.

9. Learn to listen to your body more than your mind.

10. Journal, journal, and journal.


Now let me give you my magic secret to being successful in losing weight, gaining muscle, or just general fitness: consistency + variety + efficiency = results all the time!
Each day you workout out, remember; it’s about the big picture. It’s about sticking to it for the long haul. It’s about being sold out!

With the popularity of the new lap-band bariatric surgery procedure, more and more previously overweight people are approaching plastic surgeons to address the aftermath on their body of their massive weight loss of more than 100 pounds.

While bariatric surgery can do wonders to help you lose weight, the downside is that you will come out of the weight loss process with a lot of extra sagging skin and stubborn areas of fatty deposits that you simply cannot get rid of through regular exercise and diet. For some of these areas liposuction can work quite well to help contour your body. In other areas more radical procedures will have to be performed.

Skin Elasticity Issues Following Weight Loss Surgery

Where a more average-sized person can easily lose 20-40 pounds, and their skin has enough elasticity to bounce back from being stretched, the skin of a post-bariatric surgery patient simply is unable to do so because it has been over-stretched for too long.

Because of this loss of elasticity, post weight loss patients will require much more work performed by a plastic surgeon to achieve the same result as the more average-sized person is able to achieve on their own through simple diet and regular exercise.

Candidacy for Liposuction after Weight Loss Surgery

Generally speaking, the prime candidate for liposuction is the patient who is of average weight and who simply needs some targeted areas of fat removed. However, often post-weight loss surgery patients can see some good results utilizing liposuction as well.

But, it is important to know that these patients will not see the optimum results over time because as they age their skin will be much more likely to sag than someone who has not undergone a massive weight loss.

As long as a weight loss patient is realistic in their expectations of their outcome from liposuction they can be a good candidate to have it performed, usually in conjunction with other plastic surgery procedures such as a tummy tuck, abdominal lift, breast lift, arm lift, face lift, and neck lifts.

How Much Sagging Skin is Normal Following a Massive Weight Loss?

Generally, age and the amount of weight lost determine how much sagging skin you will have on your body after a massive weight loss. If you are younger, then you are in a position to have less sagging skin because skin tends to have more elasticity when you are younger versus when you are older.

Additionally, if you have lost 100 pounds you will have much less sagging skin than someone who has had to loose 250 pounds to reach their goal weight.

If you have undergone a massive weight loss, due to diet and exercise or through bariatric surgery, you are to be commended on your achievement. If you are unhappy with your new post weight loss body, then you should consider scheduling an appointment with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options for improving your new body’s appearance. Through liposuction and various other procedures you can achieve a body that you will be happy to show off.
