hi i am ben and i am over weight
i am worrid a bout my health
can u help me

hi can the similar fat on chest be removed through excersize rather than surgery. I wasn't satisfy with the remedy in the video above. his chest after surgery look so much artificial. i would rather be happy as it is now. Can therefore, weight lighting under proper fitness instruction help to turn fat into muscles.

Hi, can anything be done about man boobs and puffy nipples. its so embarassing when the nipples are pointed and is so apparent even when tou are wearing a shirt.

Hi, im 17 and have this year decided to get rid of my years of fat (18 stone). ive always been a big child and have succeeded on my weight loss. in total, i have lost over 6 stone in just over 7months (present: 11 stone 4). however after all my hard work and effort, i still feel uncomfortable with my body and ashamed to show it off. this is due to all of my excess skin. what do you reccommend might help? ive been working at the gym twice a week, swimming and i play football twice a week. i understand its not overnight effects, but have alwyas been an active person. im afraid it might affect my confidence for the rest of my life. help!

I am 26 and have female nipples, not man-boobs. Who should I see, and How can I rectify this embarassing problem. Is it plastic surgery, or hormonal replacement.

if you have man boobs, join a gym and they will help you train to become slimmer. As you exercise you will replace the fat with muscle and won't be left with excess skin.
If you simply stop eating that is when you are left with excess skin, because you are not building up muscle.

In school I was quite obese with moobs – 22 stone. Now i go the gym and swim every day, go boxing twice a week, play football once a week and eat healthy. All the girls love me.

I would not recommend going to get surgery, it is lazy, doesn't look good, costs loads of money and is not risk free.

hi my name is big john ,, waiting to have work done where do you go and who can you trust to help you to do the job right ,, as some clink/are closeing down ..pls tell me were to go ..

where do one go to get the job done …
