Life The Flopnuts Fatties Thread - Page 2

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 08:38 AM

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 in man. I've been trying to find my motivation for the last 6 months and just haven't been able to find it. It's always one excuse after another. I need to get up off of my fat lazy ass and lose 50 lbs.

I'll bet that I lose 15lbs in my first week. I'm not even kidding, I've done it before.

Great.

I get home and log on to the Planet only to find out some fatass runs more miles in 2 weeks than I do in 2 years.

My friend, we lose weight in the kitchen until we gain fitness in the gym. If you want help, and can avoid eating the foods you love in exchange for good tasting food that will take fat off of you, let me know. I will help you. I normally don't advise taking diet advice from a 380lb man, but I do know a thing or two when it comes to weight loss through diet only.

I found the opposite to be true, I started hitting the bike pretty hard this spring, and I lost 10 lbs within the first few weeks. Been a while since I've been on a scale but I don't think I've lost much since then.

I was hoping you would be homeboy. I need some people I talk too off this board to be in this thing with me. Let's get it the **** done!

When I did my 40-lb. loss back in '09 during the TinyEvel fitness contest, I did some calculations and determined that 80 percent of the loss was due to eating better and 20 percent was due to exercise. Both are good, but diet is the real driver.

I noticed that.

Good luck Flop! I need to get my ass back in gear and get rid of this lovely beer belly I've got. Just need to get myself out running.

And if it would help you, I'd be willing to post "What working out have you done today fatass?" on your Facebook page daily.

I know it's just an excuse but shit is ****ing hard when you've got three kids, a full time job and a wife that's going to school and working full-time as well. Plus a new house that I'm having to work on during my free time. I know you know full well how all of that feels though.

I just need to get the **** off of my ass and find the time.

phisherman · 08-24-2012, 10:17 AM

Good for you man. Losing it and keeping it off takes a lot of self-discipline.

I quit drinking on weeknights and that has helped me shed about 15-20, along with running 20 miles a week and walking an extra 30 on top of that.
