The Flopnuts Fatties Thread

[Mr. Flopnuts]

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 haven't set anything up. My target is 1000-1200 calories a day, protein (and now fat) heavy. Dinner was my first low carb meal. Staple. I'll be eating a lot of it. I burned about 700 calories exercising today, and burn 3000 just breathing. We'll see how it all pans out long term.

[bevischief]

So how do you feel?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Great. I'm pretty sore, but that's from getting off of my ass. I didn't officially go low carb until late this afternoon, as dinner reflects. I talked to Buck, so I know to expect the carb hangover, or whatever you want to call it. As far as low calories go, no big deal. I've ran 5 miles coming off of a 36 hour fast, so I know that eat before you workout stuff is bullshit. As long as you're getting enough protein everyday, the hunger goes away after a couple of weeks.

Haven't even looked. The fat requirement tastes great but nets less food. Low carb veggie increase is coming. Eggs will be a staple.

[jiveturkey]

Lunch-left over beef short ribs slow cooked in tomato sauce/balsamic vinegar and dates with a side of diced carrots baked with diced dates (I used left over bacon grease on the carrots).

Dinner- chipolte cubed chicken breast cooked in coconut oil. I then used butter lettuce and made wraps with avacado and grape tomatoes. The chipotle seasoning was nice and spicy.

Post workout snack-banana with approximately 1 tbsp of buckwheat honey.

I don't eat breakfast.

I'll likely sneak a small piece of dark/mint chocolate later.

[bevischief]

Just trying to help you guys out here. It's hard at first but it is worth it long term. So keep it up.

[Buck]

I don't know what my calories and shit were because I pretty much stopped counting, but here's what I ate.

Breakfast -
Coffee w/ 2 Tbsp Heavy Cream & Splenda
6 Slices Bacon
1 Egg

Lunch -
2 Pork Chops (4 oz each)
Salad w/ 1 Tbsp of Ranch Dressing

Dinner-
10 oz Carne Asada (marinated skirt steak)
2 Tbsp Guacamole

[Buck]

And I'm home now Flop if you have anything you want to know, I couldn't talk any longer earlier.

Why did you have to ruin a perfectly good day with Chef Boyardee?

Here's my bread and butter.

1 lb of 80/20 (85/15 is okay too) ground beef.
Half a can of diced tomatoes (get the ones that are seasoned with garlic or something Hunts brand I think.. this is optional)
~20 pepperoni slices
~1 cup of some Italian style shredded cheese.

1. Season the ground beef w/hamburger or Italian seasonings and brown and drain.

2. Turn to lowest heat setting and either put the half can of tomatoes (less juice the better) in the food processor and then into the pan or just the tomatoes right into the pan of ground beef. Mix. (optional)

3. Layer the pepperonis on top and let it simmer for about 5-10 min.

4. Layer the shredded cheese on top.

5. Put the pan under the broiler at 300 degrees for 4-6 min (until cheese is golden brown or less time if you just want cheese melted.

It's like Keto Pizza. The pic is this w/out the tomato sauce.
