Life The Flopnuts Fatties Thread - Page 30

**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!!!

So I own a Foreman.

Getting chickened out.

Any other smart, healthier recommendations??

So, were you guys like, angry during your induction? My wife and I both have been agitated as a mother****er the last few days. Is that normal? I don't remember hearing about that. Also, this has been going on for a week. It needs to go away. I think today was better, and I think I'm coming out of it, but the agitation is an agitation.

I was tried as hell during my first week my but I had training that week. But sounds normal. It sucks for about a week but you will be thank full long term.

Hey Flop, if you're still feeling the ketoflu, drink some boullion. It's supposed to help.

Seriously?

Powell Gardens 5k today. My first entered race. I've already ran over 5k twice this week to feel out the distance, but this is my first foray into organized running.

Enjoy it! It's a great feeling when you cross that finish line. There are pictures on this site somewhere of me completing my first one. Ran the whole thing. That was my goal. No walking. Have a blast, man.

Awesome. I should be coming out right about now. I don't miss bread, pasta, or even pizza believe it or not. I couldn't understand the agitation, because there are zero cravings. I just want to be able to exercise and feel good about it. I'm trying something new today. I want to start exercising twice a day, so this morning I'm not going. I'm going to go tonight and build into doing it twice that way. I've always loathed evening exercise.

While I was where you are at stage I avoided bread, pasta, pizza like the plague now only once in while do I eat it. Like it has been said before this is a life style change. Change is hard but worth it. For me evening exercise I bought a stationary bike and either watched TV or played video games for about an hour while I did it.

I'm on the cusp on finally getting under 280. Three lbs to go.

Down 13 lbs from my original total (before the FB group was created).
