i just maxed out my scale :(

[nageov3t]

At one point in my life I went through a bout of depression and ate nothing but ice cream for months and gained a good amount of weight.

I'm 6'3, 200, so I wouldn't say I'm skinny. I also know that some hard work and determination will change one's appearance monumentally.

But sure, I'll GTFO since I have no idea what I'm talking about. I just have good genes that keep me in shape, what would I know about weight.

FUCK. Sorry

Stop eating so much shit and go workout. It's not hard.

Don't fatties want to be able to attract members of the opposite sex that don't look like a tub of shit? I would think that would be reason enough to stay in shape. I guess some people have such low self-esteem that they just don't give a fuck. I just can't wrap my head around that mentality.

That's me. I gave up on women a long time ago.

Why? Don't you want an attractive woman?

You act like being out of shape can't net you an attractive woman. Money and game go farther along than being in shape.

In my experience being attractive is far more about confidence and personality than physical appearance.

Being in good physical shape sure helps your odds.

That 99.999% of humanity that absolutely relies on rice, grain, and potatoes are all wrong.

In nature, you will never see a carbohydrate that is not surrounded by fiber. This "bulk" makes us feel full without overeating. What we've done with processed carbs is removed the fiber part. Now we have nothing to help us feel full, so we'll eat an entire box of macaroni and cheese, or a whole box of spaghetti, and be reading for the second course.

+1 for drinking water only. Alcohol is fine too if you must, but just stop with the bullshit sugary drinks. You'll get to the point where they don't even taste that good.

Other than that I recommend that you cut as much processed food out of your diet as possible. Eat as much as you want and don't be afraid of good fats/calories, just make sure you are eating as close to natural and unprocessed as possible. A lot of the "diet" food is still the same processed crap that messed up your endocrine system/metabolism.

Forget portion control and eat unprocessed food.

Doesn't Alcohol get broken down into sugars once it enters our body?

of course it does, but it is by no means a requirement. money and game > looks when it comes to banging hot chicks.

I just don't care about women anymore.
They just seem to be a big pain in the ass, I never seem to find any Intelligent/Mentally stable/Interesting girls no matter where I go. It also seems that whenever I meet a new girl among friends it's like they're either not interested in me at all and will not talk to me or they're obnoxious bitches or both.

He is just trolling.

Not really trying to, but after re-reading my post it is starting to look like I'm turning into TridenT. D:

 

[Powermoloch]

steps:

1) Get rid of soda drinks
2) find great food and eat at the right portions
3) walk
4) repeat
5) ?????
6) profit !

 

[busydude]

Dude.. you are going through this teenage phase.. where most think they are worthless and have self-esteem issues. Don't worry too much about that... you will grow up, unlike TridenT.

 

[Joseph F]

I certainly hope so.

I'm the same general area as the OP. Here is my details - buried pretty deep in this thread so maybe not quite so embarrassing.

68" and 345lb as of this AM.

I need to lose 150 lbs to begin to be healthy.

For your reference, Its a 3xl button down shirt (20"+ neck with long arms), Most t-shirts you can buy in the store don't fit. I'm a 3x easily. 48" waist and 30" inseam. Walmart is essentially the only place I can buy any clothes, and I'm at the top tier. They don't sell any 50" pants except dickies, and those aren't quite pants. They had 2 belts in the whole store that would fit, I bought them both. 1 has broken.

I go through shoes in less than 2 months. They just wear out the poor things.

What I've done:

1. quitting smoking dec 2009, I was 290ish then. Within 2 weeks I was over 300 and within 2 months I was over 325. I knew it would happen. I felt strongly that ending smoking was more important than "a few pounds". After all I figured once I quit I'd have all this energy to exercise. Well now my lungs are clear but I still can't exercise for shit.

2. No soda whatsoever. No empty carbs, no sugar, no candy, no ice cream. In fact this has been a rule for nigh on 3 years now. Tea, Coffee, Water and a sugar free energy drink are all I really drink. Occasionally I get a diet soda, but I hate the farts they bring so...

3. Have a bike, found out I can't keep up with my friend (who is actually heavier than me, just he's built up a lot more muscle. Wife and I ride occasionally (like every 2 weeks maybe 2-4 miles at the park.

4. Too heavy for wii fit though I'll come along on the long run with my wife maybe every couple weeks when she brings it out.

I know perfectly well that I fail at portion size. I don't think what we eat is terrible, its lowish carb, hi-protein lean chicken and some beef and tofu, lots of raw and cooked vegetables, and we've been on 3 meals a day for a couple years now - once we realized that 1 meal a day was horrifying.

So I know I'm eating too much still (even if its "healthier" - 1000 calories of broccoli is still 1000 calories )

I also know I'm not active enough. I'm honestly a little fearful for my heart, every time I do aerobic stuff I'm puffing air like mad and while it doesn't hurt the feeling of palpitations as my poor heart beats like mad is just distressing.

So really - any serious options? I know I need to get serious about mealtime and I know I need to get serious about moving my ass some.

There are a good number of normal sized females who like teddy bears (big dudes) some are very cute. In So Cal there are a few clubs that cater to females who like teddy bears. I can't speak for the rest of the country, but here it's not really that hard for a big dude to get love from some pretty nice looking females.

Start walking. Any form of physical exercise will do.

Also, stop eating. Weigh the damn food and track exactly how much you're eating. Eventually the big numbers will hopefully scare you.

 

[BoomerD]

I have to wonder how much the OP would actually weigh if he wasn't so full of hot air...

 

[nageov3t]

I certainly hope so.

if that's you in your icon, you're not bad looking and I've known plenty of big guys who landed good looking girls.

typically they're also super out-going, funny, and have a great personalty.

 

[dbk]

Go outside and walk 30 mins everyday.. you'll probably drop a shit ton of weight just by doing that.

 

[zinfamous]

I kind of assumed that when I saw the poster. BM and serious don't go together from what I've seen, but it's still something to talk about, and someone might get something of value from the discussion.

yes, I agree with that. I hope he;s trolling--I'd feel bad about making light of this. I only assume he's trolling. I jsut couldn't imaigne that after his other threads, there is no way he also 400lbs--such an obvious ATOT target.

:\

 

[brianmanahan]

thanks guys for all your suport! i made it thru the whole day on like 1 less meal and only 1 mt dew (cuz i thought i was gonna pass out). i can do this!

 

[zinfamous]

fat people do not die sooner and do not suffer from more health problems. also health problems don't exactly come from being fat or overweight, they come from poor diet and nutrition which just happens to go hand in hand with eating shit that will make you extremely fat.

http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20090625/study-overweight-people-live-longer

carbs and sugars kill. fat isn't bad don't listen to the idiots.

You're obviously not a surgeon that has had to cut through 6 inches of fat just to palpate 36 year-old dude's heart; or his liver....
