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!!!

Yes it would! You just let us know.

What's the deal Flop?

I thought you were going to be an attention whore here...

[Saulbadguy]

Eat raw meat, shit vegetables.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I'm trying to figure out my plan for attack. I've stopped eating out, and am eating better. I'm even eating less, and no drinking at all. We've been talking on the Facebook page, and I'm kind of leaning toward keto, but I need a lot more info. I want to ****ing crush the first 90 days, then I want to transition back into a more normal life long lifestyle. There's no reason I can't lose 100-120lbs or MORE in 3 months.

That said, I need to get off my fat, ****ing ass and move if I'm going to make that happen. Help me Buck, make me a Keto master. I DON'T WANT TO JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUIIIICCE!

Its taken me over 5 months to lose 50 pounds. But I am not starving myself. Just watching my intake. Luv and Buck are inspirational for me! I took a pic this weekend and realized that I am still a fat ****, so I am now jogging. 220 or bust.....

That's what I did and it worked great short term for me. No more eating out, no more alcohol and no more pop. Like I mentioned in the group I was down around 11 pounds or so in about a month or so. I even walked a bit, but not too much.

That's my plan of attack again.

Just remember that it's marathon, not a sprint. Don't get caught up in wanting to see instant results. If you're making a lifestyle change, just make the change.

I appreciate it. This is a different approach that I'm taking that I honestly wouldn't recommend for very many people. I've done this. I've lost 185lbs. I knew exactly what to do to keep losing and live a great, healthy, athletic, lifestyle.

Then I ****ed the whole thing up and put 100lbs on. Okay. No. Big. Deal. (bullshit, it sucks) I know what to do when I get there, but I also know that I have 90 days to achieve ridiculous results. From there, it's all like before. So I think I'm going to take my "golden shot".

That's awesome. Exercise is good for the mind, as well as the body. I would suggest giving 30 days of pain to it, and see how you feel about it at the end. If you can make it 30 days, I'd bet money you wouldn't want to quit. It's incredible what it does for the endorphines in your brain, let alone the physical athleticism, and weight loss. Just my 2 cents, bro.

I've been watching you on Facebook. Why aren't you in our group? **** that, Burt. You're a Flopnuts Fatty now. I'm going to add you to the thread header and put you in the Facebook group.

P.S- You're doing ****ing phenomenal! Keep it up!

[Mr. Flopnuts]

If anyone wants to track their weight publicly, feel free. I've set it up in the thread header. 1 awesome thing I've got going now is I got a new Bodybugg. I used that little bad boy when I lost my weight the first time and it was awesome for tracking calorie burn, and forcing me to read labels, and measure my food (most of the time) when I was using it.

It's totally outdated, there are better, cheaper products on the market, but I got the one that links with smart phones and a 6 month subscription to the website for $100. That's ****in smokin! I should get that in a week or so. Really looking forward to it.

I'm going to get off my ass and exercise in the morning. I will be truthful about it. If I don't, I would appreciate tons of ridicule.

[Saulbadguy]

just ate some peanut butter. HOLLLLLLAH

[morphius]

I'm going for being more consistent with my workouts, over the summer I got pretty lax, especially with trips and my AC not really doing a great job keeping up with the 110 degree days. Lost 4 lbs already just this week. I don't have too much to lose though. Good luck guys/gals!

["Bob" Dobbs]

My deal is I just haven't felt like eating for the last few days... so I haven't. That can't be good, though.
