Baggy Body Fund (lost 85kg aiming for 140 kg)

In Aug 2017, I was 40.3 stones, now, as at Dec 18, I've lost 85 kg by diet and exercise alone. My target is to loose a total of 140 kg by August 2019. I'm already suffering with loose skin and dreading the end results without the prospect of surgery and need your help.

This is no vanity project for me, I've even considered staying my current weight for the fear of complications from loose skin, but I've decided to carry on. The surgery could cost in the region of £80,000 for full body lift and excess limb skin removal. In order to fund this I have started saving and will sell my home to fund it if necessary. In addition I'v turned to go fund me, I'm hoping to "virtually meet" 80,000 people willing to part with a £1  or equivalent to help me realise my dreams of returning to a normal life being able to fly, buy short sleeved shirts and swim with some confidence.

I'm no internet sensation, I'm not on youtube or Instagram to date, I've just got on with it and worked hard to change my life as was facing 40 at 40 stones and trapped in a vicious circle of comfort eating. My commitment to myself is to meet my goal weight and utilise anything donated for surgery expenses. Should you donate I'm so grateful, and my commitment to you is that If I exceed my target / have funds left I will donate these to others in the same circumstances.

I have set up a facebook page with my story and pictures as I know how to use it with before , progress and hopefully after pics. I will also answer any posts with a question mark.

For those who think your in the UK , the NHS funds this, they don't, its considered cosmetic even though, I struggle with daily tasks and things everyday people do without a thought.

Many thanks
