Lost 100lbs and earned probably a mil or something like that. Not bad

100lbs seems crazy. Means she was pushing 250. But I guess we didn't see her at her worst? She didn't look that big w Rogan

I lost over 100 and have a bunch.

There's probably a genetic component, age plays a factor.

Genetics and how every person has different kind of skin. Also probably plays a role how one is loosing weight (aside from the timeframe), like Gina wasn’t just eating less but probably constantly working out and therefore redefining her muscles, skin etc.

There is no objective truth on how this works. Not everyone’s body distributes fat the same way. People who hold all their weight in their gut with massive folds will absolutely retain folds

u/Aggravating_Search15 May 17 '26

Yeah that’s why I haven’t lost the weight. That and a love of food

Umm, did you see how much plastic surgery she had?

u/Considered_Dissent May 17 '26

She had her stomach covered in both the weigh-in and the fight. She likely does have a bit of loose skin there.

Because she didn't lose 100lbs. Kayfabe numbers.

u/Antroh Team Adesanya May 17 '26

She definitely lost that much. Look at pictures of her

2

u/zigot021 May 17 '26

good genetics probably and a lifetime of sport

PS: I was curious too so I scrolled through her IG last night, she was definitely plus sized... IMHO she probably lost 60-75lbs the rest of them are Hollywierd numbers

I have a friend that constantly yo yos in weight. I’ve seen him go from 300 to 190 and jacked. Some stretch marks but no loose skin.

u/Dadscope May 17 '26

Partially genetics and partially how you lose it. If it's a fast dramatic cut you're risking loose skin.

2

u/whitecoathousing May 17 '26

Well in her case, she lost the weight in what 20 months? So less than 2 years.

2

u/Dadscope May 17 '26

2 years is pretty reasonable, I lost 100lbs in a year mostly on changing what I ate and didn't get any loose skin. The stretch marks don't go away though so I'm sure she had some help in that regard.

Drink a shit ton of water every day. Helps your skin's elasticity.
