Well, if he truly did try everything, how come we've never seen him thin before, or at least for awhile? But then again, if I had the money and I was Roker, I would do the same thing.Originally posted by: SkoorbInteresting thing about stomach stapling is that the assertion is that it's the last resort for somebody who's tried everything. However all a stomach stapling does is decrease stomach size so that you get full quicker. All it is doing - and nothing more - is controlling hunger pangs and allowing you to feel full after maybe a sandwhich instead of a 15 piece KFC. So really saying that the person has tried everything else is a falsehood. What's working now? They are eating less. So why didn't they try that before? The fact is they didn't enjoy the feeling of hunger. And that's fair, but willing over that feeling would have allowed them to lose the weight without the operation. Course excercise doesn't hurt either.Originally posted by: coldcut Al Roker, this guy got so much press coverage for losing weight, although he did it the easy way by going through surgery. What BS. :|I just don't like how much press coverage he got for losing weight through surgery.

Jugernot, I'm skinny (6'1", weighing 135lb). I just wanted to tell you that I eat all the time. I eat all the fatty foods and a lot of protein, but I weight lift every other day. Perhaps you can start weight lifting.....

Eating 10 large pizza's, 5 2 liters of soda pop and munching on candy bars all day might make you fat...

I'm one too, so all you other fat people don't jump down my throat.
Why do people have to act their stereotypes? The stereo type is that fat people stuff their face with any food they can get a hold of... and it erks me to no end when I see it in real life.
Saw some fat guy yesterday with a dozen donuts at a grocery store sitting (oozing is more like it) off a chair in the deli section of store. When I entered he was eating a donut and still had a box full, when I walked by to get some sliced turkey from the deli, I saw that 2 or 3 more donuts were gone. Then as I was leaving he was throwing away the box.... a dozen donuts at one sitting? WTF is wrong with these people? It's not wonder he has rolls covering his rolls. His belly was hanging out the bottom of his shirt (which was at least 2 to 3 sizes too small. He was wearing sweat pants, which have got the be the worst possible pants to wear if you're fat. Then hug your curves.... NASTY!
That touches on the second stereotype for fat people... sloppy dressers. True it's harder to buy clothes if you can't just walk into a store and buy "off the rack" but it's possible to look nice none the less. I order my clothes from big and tall catalogs and local big and tall stores. Sometime I can find the occasional 2x or 3x in a store than I can wear, but generally that doesn't happen. I know some people just don't care what others think, but it's just disgusting what some people go outside wearing.
1. this goes out to all my fat brothers and sisters.... don't wear spandex! It's evil and should only be worn by skinny people.
2. don't wear sweats... they hug your curves almost like spandex.
3. buy LT shirts so your belly doesn't hang out.
4. when buying pants, don't buy pants that are so tight that you can't bend over.
5. shirts are NOT optional .... wear one. The people around you will thank you (but buy the right size!)
6. take breathes between bites.
7. You don't need ice cream or a shake with that 55g of fat Big Mac....
8. chewing with your mouth closed will cut the number of fly that buzz around you to a minimum.
......
I could go on, but I'm sure you get the picture. My fat brethren just use some common sense and try to be courteous to those around you. No one (probably you included) wants to see your rolls and stretch marks. Try using some common sense when eating.... don't be a pig. It's not hard... really...
Anyway, like I said, I'm fat too. I'm 6ft tall and weight about 330lbs (lost 4 inches off my waist in the last few months)... but I dress nicely and eat sensibly (I've been on a low carb diet for a few weeks).

EDIT: Ohhh another rant, this one is toward you skinny people. Please teach your kids some manners... every once in a while I'll be walking through a store and a kid will yelling out something like "Hey fat guy!".... not only does it make me automatically feel terrible, it's really not good for your kids to be calling strangers names. Obviously they are getting it from someplace, if they are under 6, it's most likely at home. Try to teach your kids that just because someone is fat, doesn't mean you should call them that. I once got pissed a child for saying that and said something to his father like "You should teach you kid some manners." To which he responded "He just calls em like he sees em!" to which I responded "Wow, so how does it feel to be called 'Asshole' every morning?" then I walked off.
Mills Darden (1798 - 1857) of North Carolina; 7 ft 6 in, 1020 lbs. Darden was an acromegalic giant. His wife, who bore him three (some sources say five) children before her death in 1837, weighed only 98 lbs.
It was actually 70 pounds.Originally posted by: xospec1alk
anyone got a link to that story of how some guy lost 80 pounds just riding his bike?
