Life The Flopnuts Fatties Thread - Page 21

**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!!!

the AMP is probably the most expensive thing.

I understand what you're saying. Typically I will eat some cheap Knorr noodles or a package of rice for dinner though.

No shit. Take the AMP out, and the entire day costs about $5.

That "meal" was all 3 of his meals, the total cost of which I estimate to be around $5.

But I do understand that proteins and fresh fruits are a luxury for a small segment of our population, and I sympathize with them.

But there are way more people out there who don't know how to shop and prepare their own food and vastly overestimate the amount of money it costs, thinking instead that it's cheaper to just buy dollar meals from the nearest fast food joint (not counting you among those people, of course) or boxes of mac and cheese/TV dinners.

And I'm not so bad off that I have to worry about where my next meal is going to come from or anything. Obviously- I mean I'm sitting here in my apartment watching TV and browsing the internet. I think I do overestimate the amount of money it costs to prepare fresh food though. I'm sure I could eat better than I do and it wouldn't be as expensive as I think.

I bought the 4-pack of AMP on sale.

They were like $8.99.

But, it is a pretty good meal.

My parents got me a Foreman grill -- $40.

You can buy Tyson Frozen chicken breasts for like 7.99 a bag.

Anything is cheaper than eating out.

I think I spent $63 on groceries my last trip. This oughta last me a week or week and a half.

Another excuse....but it was so much ****ing easier to lose weight when I was single. I could buy groceries and eat the same shit for weeks on end. It usually consisted of salads, soups and sandwiches.

This is very true. It's much, much harder to regulate my diet when I have to eat with my family. I saw someone post about buying lunch at a restaurant, eating half, then eating half when you get home for supper. Clearly a single man's strategy.

That makes plenty of sense. I am perfectly content eating the same food, or a variation of it. I love chicken. I've got three or four different dry rubs I can use to mix it up.

My girlfriend lives in green bay. She has a cheese tasting tour planned and also Octoberfest is going on when I'm visiting next month.

I'm so screwed.

**The Franchise** · 08-29-2012, 01:01 PM

I had my shit down to a science when I was single. Eggs in the morning because it takes me 20 minutes to shower and get dressed. Sandwich and fruit for lunch. Get off work.....hop on the treadmill and play a game of Madden (Yeah I perfected that shit).....shower and then usually eat a salad or chicken for dinner.

Now that shit isn't possible because I have to spend my mornings getting the kids ready to go. Lunch is usually rushed because I'm running errands and after work is spent on homework and making sure the kids don't kill each other.

Ceej · 08-29-2012, 01:04 PM

I'm not married.

But I can't imagine coming home and saying "no" to my wife after she fixed country fried steak and mashed potatoes or something or the sort.

At the same time, your wife would surely know about your diet and try to assist you by not cooking stuff like that (when you're around).

Well, yeah.

I was just speaking hypothetically.

But, when I marry a banging hot super model who doesn't ever gain weight she may be cooking me meals like that!
