Where our fatties at?

[Progmetty]

See I've recently completed my transformation into a Brachiosaurus so I wanna go back to human form!
I remember a couple years ago you guys had a thread based on a tv show about people competing to lose weight,  any chance we might do that again now?

[bout to crash]

I just decided I'm going to be Freddie Mercury next Halloween so I'm in.

[Pols Voice]

If I became a Brachiosaurus, I'd never want to be human again. Those things ruled.

Do you know who arranged this last time? I have no idea how to work this so I can't be the "admin" or whatever.
I know Chino was involved..

[bout to crash]

No idea; I was not involved

[black_biff_stadler]

I'd like to drop 25-30 lbs. I'm 5'10-11" (depending on whom you ask  ) and being 190 lbs. doesn't appeal to me.

[splent]

I actually could stand to gain a few pounds.  I am 5'7" and weigh about 125-130.  And I have high blood pressure.  It is very strange.  I do need to eat more healthily to help bring that down (low sodium, low caffeine, etc).

[MasterShakezula]

Am about 5'7'' to 5'8'', and generally weigh 130-133, but have an unhealthy diet.  My blood pressure and heart rate are fine, but I bet I'll be needing to make improvements within the next 6 years as my metabolism goes down. 

[Dr. DTVT]

Get out of the thread skinny people. Most of you weigh less than my IQ.

[dethklok09]

5'9"-5'10" and about 203 pounds so yeah I could really lose some weight

[JayOctavarium]

5'9" 230lbs.. i coukld stand to lose more ... too bad this isnt going on back when i was 280lbs

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

I eat tons and tons, but wanna get out of the habit. I'm 6'5, 160 pounds, but once my metabolism starts going away that'll change.

[El JoNNo]

So WTF boyz n' girlz, we doin' dis shit or wot?!? I weigh 233 and would love to drop weight. Some friendly encouraging competition might be just what I need!

6'5, 160??  Do you have to run around the fucking shower to get wet?

[black_biff_stadler]

If he wants to get wet all he needs to do is picture you wearing only a chef's hat and a grin.

[SystematicThought]

6 foot 3 and 270 pounds, Any skinny people can here can take some of my weight. Even though apparently I do look intimidating to some people.. Which I don't understand...

[Fluffy Lothario]

My weight has been yoyoing in the last few years. I got up to around 80kg last December, then went down to around 62kg by May this year, and am probably somewhere in the middle of those two by now.

They are skinny mofos..
I'm 290lb but I'm 6'4 so that helps a bit right now but it can deteriorate into forklift measures in a few years. How much are you?
It's weird I still can't stop making fat jokes even after I myself became fat
I fuckin hate the nature valley candy thing that's supposed to make me feel full. It makes me feel angry heh
Cheese sticks as snacks and only salads for everything else ---- who are you talking to? where is the human version?
The idea that I think would surely be successful is a lock down. A prison like state where I can't get to the bad foods. Will power is sucking rhino horn. But I can't see a scenario where that would work in normal life.

[Ravenheart]

As a former whale, I lost 80 lbs the old fashioned way: diet and exercise. Nothing more, nothing less. If I can do it, anyone can.

What does that mean exactly? change how?

Once my metabolism starts going away the fact I'm always eating will finally start to affect me.

[Progmetty]

I see. I never really looked into the whole metabolism mojo. I dunno when I lost mine but I hope it was classy heh

[toro]

I'm in.

[alirocker08]

I'm up for it if I can find out how much I weigh! I just want to lose the puppy fat but it isn't fucking moving!

That's awesome bud!  You look in really good shape in your pics, well done man.

Thank you! It was extremely hard work, and I actually had a few moments where I'd go up and down with 10 or 15 lbs, but it was all worth it in the end. I'm in the best shape of my life.

[ReaperKK]

Good to hear Raven, how long did it take you?

The whole metabolism thing is a bit of a myth IMHO. Sure, it *does* slow down, but what really makes the difference is the change in lifestyle. From running around all day long with irregular meals, one switches to sitting in an office all day with three regular meals.

I was actually surprised that my weight hasn't changed much on my world trip. I sorta assumed I would lose weight due to all the activity, but I've stayed the same essentially.

It's very rare when I disagree with you Rumborak, it's not a myth at all. When I was in college I lost about 60lbs, I did this by salad and exercise. My goal would be to only consume 10 grams of fat a day. Now of course as time went on my workouts became more and more intense I will not deny that but it got to the point where I should not have been losing weight any more. The whole 10 grams of fat thing went out the window, I began eating everything in sight.

One time I went to a restaurant with a friend and his girlfriend. I ate my food, and half of each of their's, then stop at McDonald's afterward. A few hours after that I hit the gym. My metabolism got so fast I was hungry all the time. Then again I was at the gym 4 time a week and at the Dojo twice a week.

Seeing the scale now just aggravates to no end.

I topped out at 360 lbs (i'm 6'4) about 2 1/2 years ago..I'm currently towing the 300lb line for the better part of the last year and a half. I still need to lose alot more ,but would be content being 230-240 lbs whereas most BMI indexes and height to weight indexes would still consider myself obese or overweight at those weights. I would be down to try an on-line type thing here ,  support is a big factor in dieting for myself

Maybe I'm misreading your post here, but aren't you proving my exact point? You're in college and because of activity, your metabolism is through the roof. And these days you don't, so you're gaining weight.
