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!!!

Taking breading off chicken is lame and it gets you all greasy and I didn't feel like ****ing with it because how small they are.

Nope, I traded someone for their string cheese.

I hate to break this to you but if you're doing Keto, Milk's gotta go.

Switch to Almond Milk.

Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla.

I finished 1200 calories under my goal for today.

Can admit I'm already feeling better.

I thought half and half would be better, but apparently not. I live in Hillbilly Hollywood. That shit is hard to find. I don't like it black but I can deal with it. Honestly though, I'm not sure I am keto. I'm drinking diet soda, and using sweet and low. I may be more carb controlled.

Not when you forget what Milk tastes like.

Then it tastes like milk.

If I'm reading the jacked up formatting right, you had 21 g of carbs, even with the milk.

That's ketogenic.

BTW, I would increase the protein quite a bit if you are going to stay that low carb. You'll lose muscle otherwise.

While I haven't given up milk, this is what I get for my protein shakes. Mixed with something else, you really can't tell that much of a difference.

Saul is right though. It's pretty nasty by itself.

I hit 279.4 today (broke 280!!!) and that is after a gigantic meal at lunch today where I ate a steak, a chicken breast, a baked potato, and a dinner roll. That said, it is also the only thing I have eaten today. I am working in a series of goals.

Started working on this as of 6/10 and began at 317:

1st goal - 270 by my birthday which is in 4 weeks. (I'm on track!!!)
2nd goal - 245 by the end of the year
3rd goal - 220 by March 2013
4th goal - 205 by June 2013 (begin weight training)
5th goal - 215 (+10lb muscle) by September 2013
6th goal - 225 (+10lb muscle) by end of 2013
7th goal - 235 (+10lb muscle) by May 2014

All we drink is Almond Milk around my house. It's freaking delicious. Of course, we drink the "original" which is sweetened. I've tried the regular (not vanilla) unsweetened, and it's pretty foul. I don't ever actually drink it by the glass, though, just use it in cereal and cooking and such. My kids, on the other hand, pound that shit.

Milk is pretty disgusting to me these days.

Also: Wal-Mart carries almond milk now.
