The Flopnuts Fatties Thread
I'm going to be an attention whore on this. For those of you who don't know me, I'm a morbidly obese individual. I grew up overweight. Like, as long as I can remember. In the beginning of 2008 a weight loss thread started. I decided for the first time in my life I was going to go see a doctor and try and take off some weight. I was 450lbs.
I learned how incredibly ignorant I was to health, fitness, and food. Over the course of a year and a half or so, I lost 185lbs. I went from someone who had never been able to run a mile in his life, to someone who ran 30-40 miles a week. I have a framed picture of myself completing my first 5k, and it was one of the proudest moments in my life. In August of 2010 my wife and I decided to move to Branson, MO from Seattle, WA. I've lived here before, and wanted to come back. I've never really drank in my life because I come from a long line of alcoholics. I chose a different poison, and always smoked pot. (Yeah, lost 185lbs with the ****ing munchies every day. Go me!) Needless to say, I started drinking when I got down here because the pot was horrible, and eventually stopped running. When I stopped running, I started gaining weight. Today, 2 years later, I weigh approximately 380lbs. I say approximately because frankly, I would have to find a freight scale to weigh myself. Today is the day it all begins again. I thought long and hard about putting myself out there on this board, because it has changed so much since I did this the first time. But it was such a great release for me, and an insane source of positive encouragement, and valuable information that I decided to do it. I also know that all that weight I lost inspired a few others on this board to do it as well. My understanding is that they have all kept that weight off. I'm hoping to replicate those achievements with some current fatties out there. Let's band together! Let's learn, and fight, and be who we want to be, rather than who we are right now. I'm going to post before and after pictures in the next post. My before and after is a little different though. I'm going to post pictures of me at 265, and one of me today. I look forward to posting my after-after picture at the end of the year. I am going to lose 100lbs+ before this year is over. My goal, is to weigh 250lbs by January 1st. That would be the same weight I was at in the 8th grade. Public accountability is a big part of why I was so successful before I think. The idea of putting this up and being the same or worse by year's end is disgusting. I believe it will help me. I will be bumping this thread perhaps on a daily basis. It worked the last time. Who's with me? Who is ready to put in the blood, sweat, and tears necessary to change your life forever? If I'm alone, I'm alone. But I hope some of you will join me in the battle of the bulge. We'll call it "Custard's last stand"! And to anyone who wants to talk shit to me, about me, or whatever, bring it on. It fuels me. GO!!!

so, not trying to be a huge dick or anything, but i was out on the town with my 5 y.o. this morning. and he was being relatively good (for a 5 y.o.).
and he asks "daddy, can we go to the donut store?" as i pondered for a minute, i said sure, why not. well, after my 2nd apple fritter, i think i may have died and gone to heaven (or haven, i don't know what the kids are calling it now). point being: enjoy the little things once in awhile. don't over-indulge. and treat yourself to something special, every once in awhile. p.s. did i mention that they were the best apple fritters ever?

Then I went over to the Heartland Harvest Garden and tried some of the hot peppers; whoa. I tried the Chinese Ornamentals, Black Pearls, Black Hungarians, but I stopped short of the Thai Dragons, Habaneros and Ghost Chilis. |

So, I discovered today that I have full access to all the amenities to our resorts here in town. I went and got on the elliptical for the first time in over a year and banged out a solid assed half hour on that mofo. Didn't burn any extra calories than I do from walking, which is reeruned, but the fitness is increasing so I can burn more later.
I'm pretty excited. Take a nice 2.5 mile walk in the morning, then go bang out a half an hour or more on the elliptical after work, and some interval running on the treadmill afterward. I WILL BE A BEAST AGAIN! P.S - Where the **** all my fatties at? Check in, mutha****as! |

Oh, btw, holy hell! I feel schizophrenic. Complete turnaround today. I feel absolutely ****ing great! It's amazing. I woke up and was groggy for about 10 minutes, but I've been bouncing around all day and feeling like a million bucks. I absolutely loathe working out in the afternoon, but I loved it today. I've read about it, heard about it from you guys, but it's really incredible how much it changed almost over night. I haven't had this kind of energy in years. Maybe ever. Life's good. And I'm going to peel off some serious weight if this continues. How long did this last for you guys before you leveled out? I'm hoping 3 months, lol.

I don't want to post in this thing all by myself. I ordered pizza last night and got shit faced. Ate the toppings off the crust. Didn't eat after I got drunk, and was still under 2000 calories for the day after downing 10 oz. of Jim Beam. Felt pretty good considering it was a full on cheat day.
This is really a great diet. I just don't miss potatoes, and pasta like I thought I would. Been thinking about pizza for a few days and was completely good with eating the toppings and a little sauce with it. No clue what I weigh, don't care. Clothes fitting better, and I'm putting on clothes I had outgrown just a little over 2 weeks after starting up. I know it's going well. I may jump on a scale today just to make sure I'm on point. I dunno. It really hasn't mattered to me yet. I've got a long assed ways to go... Anyway, I'll throw a post in every once in a while, but I'm not going to make this a blog like I did the last time. I'll just start a blog if I want to do that. |

I fit in to a pair of size 36 Jeans and Cargo shorts last night.
I honestly can't remember the last time that has happened.

I will also say that while I haven't quit drinking, I have slowed way the **** down. 1 night a week only. I've also started exercising a little more consistently. Got back on the elliptical machine and couldn't go more than 2 miles on it. Yesterday I banged out a 5k on the thing and felt like a rockstar! |

Yo Flop, I keep seeing you talk about 3 months. Don't put a hard or soft cap on your timeframe or goal weight. I did that and then realized that the time and weight I had set for myself weren't what I actually wanted to do. Just roll with it until you're ready to finish. Personally, I think you should be on Keto for longer than 3 months, but its obviously up to you.
Originally I set my goals at 6 months / 220 lbs and I realized that 220 was still pretty overweight. Also, I like Keto too much to change diets. Anyways I hope that makes sense. |

BTW, myfitnesspal has my intake pegged at 60/35/5 and I'm not even trying. It's just natural, which is ****ing awesome!

How's Keto treating ya Flop? My Facebook is broken. I can't go on Flopnuts Fatties for some reason.
I've been on a self imposed no weight/size loss the last 2 weeks because I want to fit in the tux I got fitted for 2 weeks ago. The wedding is this Sunday. I'm having trouble with it though. I'm still eating keto, but after putting on a good 5 lbs in the first week, I'm back down to where I was. Glad I only have to maintain for another week. Shit is nearly impossible on Keto. |
