Life The Flopnuts Fatties Thread - Page 26

**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!!!

Give me some input guys and gals. I figure the more the merrier myself, because I know first hand people join, then forget about it a couple of weeks in.

A lot of girls who look awesome in their profile pics saying they need to lose 30 lbs or whatever. And the guy saying "Do this and you can eat whatever you want!" I just need to remember that I'm not there to criticize people's methods or needs. Only to encourage.

I didn't see the guy, but the girls are my cousins. Yeah, not exactly what I had in mind.

jiveturkey · 08-31-2012, 07:34 AM

My meals for yesterday.

Lunch - left over eggs and pork sausage with pumpkin pancakes

Dinner - Are off the hot bar at the store - blackened chicken thighs, balsamic beats and peas.

The workout was heavy lifting and thank god today is a workout day off.

Yeah, I saw that. I did a little

when I did.

**luv** · 08-31-2012, 07:38 AM

I've gotten away from keeping a food journal. It's not something I want to lean on for the rest of my life, so I'm seeing how well I can do without it.

Derby practice kicks my ass sometimes. Last night wasn't too bad, though. However, they don't turn the air on during practices, so I can usually feel beads of sweat rolling down my back before I even get all of my gear on! Needless to say, I'm usually a bucket of sweat by the time I leave.

It's not really raining right now like I thought it was supposed to. More of a mist. If softball does end up getting cancelled tonight, though, I'm going to go skating instead.

I sneak in 40 regular pushups as part of my core routine as it really stretches out my chest after the lifting the day before. I do know that when I switched from running on the elliptical machine in the pyramid workout to HIIT I dropped weight really fast.

I also hate planking. I have seen the results so I'm continuing to do it but I'll continue bitching.

I also hate ellipticals. There's something about that motion that f's with my feat and my hips. If my back or knees feel out of whack a run seems to put everything back where it belongs. The elliptical does the opposite.

Planks. Ugh. I do them on my elbows. They're a bitch. As well as one legged bridges.

Hammered in, and got off of my ass though. Did some intermittent running and walking. 35 minutes is better than 0 when I had resolved myself to taking the day off. Love this feeling! Discipline. That's what makes me rise and fall.

I'll be damned. One of them that I've become pretty good friends with is actually in there liking statuses. I'll bet Arthur gets active on that page. But if so, he'll be the only one.

Shit. He's in. I knew it. Dude lost over 200lbs on The Biggest Loser, he's a valuable resource particularly for LeAnn and the do it right crowd. Real down to Earth, cool as **** cat. Thrilled to have him active on the page.

They're not bad, really. And mustard has no calories.

Cheap, easy meal and not terribly unhealthy.

**The Franchise** · 08-31-2012, 12:42 PM

The 4 months that I was deployed......I would go to the chow hall and get a flour tortilla and fill it with tuna fish, cheese and mustard.
