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!!!

I'm a lot thicker than I was in high school just in terms of my frame.

I've started running 5k's on the treadmill and just working on my time. Broke 30 minutes for the first time today. Hopefully I can keep up the motivation.

Get outside, and you'll find it to be much easier physically and mentally.

I'm worried about keeping my pace up without being able to set it. Should I not worry about that?

So I've pretty much increased my weight on everything since I started, except for biceps workouts and triceps workouts. I don't know wtf is going on, maybe poor form.

Not at all. You'll be fine. Keeping your pace DOWN will be more challenging. If you have a droid, get an arm band for it and download the Cardio Trainer app. It's the best free app of any kind I've ever seen.

Pretty good. I have never been much overweight and the most I ever weighed was 183 about a year ago before I started going to the gym. I've had to work out of town a lot so I was eating out lunch and dinner a lot and was starting to get a spare tire. I got down to 170 fairly quick but it took me a while to lose the last 8-10 lbs. I just kept going to the gym and running a few miles and started eating less at night and cut down on the beer and pop(soda) and that's when I lost the rest. I probably don't eat as healthy as I should, so I've tried to exercise more to make up for me eating Mexican food all the time.
