Has anyone had their excessive man boobs disappear?

Not talking about gyno here, but stubborn chest flab that completely tightens up and goes away?

I've got em. I'm 5'7, 222 lbs. Five years ago I was up to 300 lbs. Through a steady lifestyle change, I've lost weight, but my goal is to get down to either 165 or 170. And when I get there, I'm hoping that my chest fat will shrink and be completely tight.

I know that 6-7% bodyfat is probably ideal for a guy my size to have razor sharp abs and a non-flabby chest. I'm just hoping that it will tighten to where there is little looseness.

Almost every pic I've seen of people who've lost massive amounts of weight keep their shirt on and you can see the remnants of their once massive man boobs still hanging off their chest in small fat pouches. I saw one guy in the gym who had it bad. I had never seen anything like it. He was skinny, but had these long pouches hanging off his chest. And you could tell he was self-conscious about it. I felt bad for the guy.

A lot of gay guys go to my gym, so I was hoping he was an ex-tranny or something, that lost hormone induced boobs. Just trying to ease my conscious of fearing I will have the same problem. I want to do this naturally, no surgeries.

So my question,

is their anyone here who has lost them completely?

check my body space, i did a pretty good job so far but still have a little bit to go. all it takes is proper diet and hard work in the gym.

First off, congrats on your success. But I'm way more advanced than you (in man boobage, lol).

This is a pic saying what tabata (hiit basically) will do for you, but I doubt these are the same guy. If he is then it's pretty f*cking amazing!!

But this is basically what I would like to do for myself, I just want to know if it's possible without surgery, or am I pretty much guaranteed a flabby chest regardless of how low my bf% gets.

Had the same problem but it does tighten up it just takes time, hammer your chest and put some muscle there and loose some bf and it has no way but to tighten up

I've never seen someone get to super low single digit bodyfat for a while without any "loose skin" tightening right up. It's the fat that prevents the skin from contracting. Just keep lifting and cutting.

I weighed 220 and i'm 5'7 now im at 145. They used to be huge and sag. I still kinda have them but I will work em off in time.

I used to have huge mboobs and now after months of lifting heavy they are melting off...still have some but nothing to bad, its about losing fat so you can see the results, good luck with that

well, that's encouraging. I sure hope it works. I need to be tight! And I'm getting older so I'm racing against the clock.

Damn this is not good news to us . What bf would you say you are? 145 is maaad low! Is it noticable when you wear clothing?

Anyways i noticed a pretty big change when i hit about 17% bf. But from 30% bf - 20% bf I really didn't notice much of a change in the mirror, maybe a little bit in the pics I took.

In most guys the chest starts showing cuts at around 10%, but if you store a lot of fat in your chest, you might need to go to 6-8%.

Yeah . . . well, the happiest thing about my life now is that I'm committed. I'm ready to take it on and see it to completion. So I know I'll get there . . . 6-8% seems like a helluva feat, but I'll get there.
