To put 250lbs in perspective, you've lost:

  • An NFL middle linebacker
  • 3.2* bags of concrete
  • 9 three year old toddlers
  • 800 Big Macs
  • 133,334 paper clips

[–]andrewb2424 2385ポイント2386ポイント  (221子コメント)

Mmm 800 Big Macs

Only 800 big macs? Is anyone else depressed that it only takes 800 big macs to make up an NFL linebacker? I mean geeze lol

[–]Discover2010 34ポイント35ポイント  (16子コメント)

google says there's 563 calories in a big mac and it takes about 3,500 calories to make 1 lb of fat. That means 250 pounds is 1554.17 big macs.

[–]Bumbershot 114ポイント115ポイント  (8子コメント)

I think OP was talking about the physical weight of the Big Mac itself, not the caloric content

[–]jacluley 95ポイント96ポイント  (7子コメント)

Agreed. Unless we think op knows the caloric content of Concrete, toddlers, and paperclips...

I bet I could eat 800 Big Macs

[–]Tharkun 198ポイント199ポイント  (21子コメント)

Well, I certainly applaud anyone wanting to eat 800 big Macs, but take it from this old McDonald's rat, I've spent my entire adult life eating at McDonnald's, and a program like this one can do more harm than good.

If you only eat big Macs one part of your body (and that's all a single burger type like Big Mac is going to do for you), you're setting yourself up for injuries down the road. I've seen it a hundred times.

Big Macs basically only train the gut muscles and to some extent, the esophagus. What you really want to do is train your entire digestive system, all the major gut groups (esophagus, stomach, colon, liver, and kidneys) at the same time, over the course of a Big Mac meal. So, you will need to add large Big fries, and Large coke with it. Ask for the "Go Big" program.

I'm proud of you guys wanting to do this. Three big meals! Falling in love with eating big Macs, etc., is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. And you WILL fall in love with it if you can just force yourself to stick with it a year or two and experience the amazing progress you'll make.

But do it right, okay?

My advice, find any McDonnald near you, with qualified burger flippers who will design your burger for you (especially in the beginning, until you get the hang of it yourself) and guide you in your quest for physical fatness. Three to 5 burgers a day, three days a week, is all you'll ever need to do (I refuse to believe anyone is so busy that he or she cannot make time for that, especially considering how important it is).

And don't worry about being embarrassed or not being out of shape the first time you walk into McDonnalds. You have to start somewhere and almost every one of us were there ourselves at one time. So no one will say anything to you and very, very quickly you will progress way beyond that stage anyway.

Now get out there and get fat! :-)

Anyone know if that super long comment chain is still going? I'm guessing the thread got archived.

Which would you rather fight to death: One NFL linebacker with 2.6 bags of concrete as a weapon or nine three year old blood hungry toddlers with 133,334 paper clips as weapons?

(Upon victory you receive the gift of life & 800 Big Macs.)

[–]daltonthecooler 151ポイント152ポイント  (9子コメント)

The kids. I can just punt all of them. No brainer.

[–]circlejerker2000 79ポイント80ポイント  (2子コメント)

yeah the line backer would kick my ass faster than i would be able to use the concreate bags as a weapon

[–]jwilcz94 52ポイント53ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think he was using them as a weapon, so you're doubly screwed.

Speaking of brains. YSK a 3 year old's cranium is still growing and is therefore much softer than an adult's making it that much easier to cave in their skulls. Killing 3 year olds is real easy. Almost too easy.

[–]allygolightlly 54ポイント55ポイント  (13子コメント)

Does the linebacker have the bags of concrete or do I?

[–]bertonomus 42ポイント43ポイント  (12子コメント)

I really messed up the wording there didn't I? You have the weapons.

[–]allygolightlly 52ポイント53ポイント  (10子コメント)

Good because I was imagining toddlers with thousands of bent paperclips sticking out of them like spikes. I take the toddlers then.

[–]bertonomus 18ポイント19ポイント  (8子コメント)

That's horrifying to imagine. Demon toddlers emptying bags of paper clips, rolling in them and then charging at you.

[–]allygolightlly 7ポイント8ポイント  (7子コメント)

Also if a bag of concrete weighs 100lbs, I could maybe throw it one foot. My only hope would be hoisting it above a door and dropping it on top of the linebacker anvil/piano style.

[–]poor_decisions 98ポイント99ポイント  (11子コメント)

250lbs/2.2 = 114.6kg

Avg. American street price for 1kg of cocaine is about $30k.

[–]poncewattle 1416ポイント1417ポイント  (101子コメント)

Yeah, really... I'm 57 and finally lost 85 pounds a year ago. My face was fat too so when it shrunk, due to my age, my skin didn't bounce back.... so I look older. Whatever -- I FEEL 20 years younger. I'm doing things now I thought were long in my past, like all-day hiking, climbing into my attic, working on my roof, and little things like being able to run up stairs two at a time instead of doing one step with one foot then bringing the other to same step and catching my breath and doing the other one.

[–]InZaintJohn 589ポイント590ポイント  (10子コメント)

climbing into my attic

"So this is what my attic looks like"

Climbs down

[–]poncewattle 80ポイント81ポイント  (6子コメント)

Yeah really. I was nervous to go up there. I had some ceiling damage in a room (drywall peeling) and was worried the underside of the roof was damaged and had a slow leak. Turned out it was fine and the 60 year old dry wall was just wearing out.

[–]LogenBloody9Fingers 49ポイント50ポイント  (24子コメント)

Actually, there comes a point where being fat actually makes someone look younger, and you're kind of in that age category.

A few years ago I read that William Shatner stated he specifically stayed overweight because it's fills in the wrinkles and actually makes one look younger at that age. I thought it was hooey/flim flam/hogwash until I saw the before and after of Penn Jillette after he lost a bunch of weight. He lost 100 pounds in a few months but looks like he aged about 20 years.

Edit - my point wasn't completely clear. Don't feel like being fat weathered your facial skin, it's more likely that how you look now is pretty close to how you would have looked if you had never been overweight at all.

Thanks. I will. And I'll never go back. I had to maintain a 750 caloric deficit for a year to lose it. I've been in maintenance for 6 months now and I still obsess about counting every calorie to make sure I don't go over my maintenance value.

I know. I lost 80 over a year...and my face became less puffy, so all my "smile lines" now stand out more! But I feel better, so I got that going for me.

[–]nucular_mastermind 251ポイント252ポイント  (30子コメント)

Smile lines, that's a nice way to call it. I lost 20 pounds, and now like a look like a hollow-cheeked, worried old man sometimes.

those abs tho

Yea, I lost 30 pounds and I also look like a tired old man. And I'm a chick! But we're better off for it, and OP looks amazing!!

[–]wonderful_wonton 9ポイント10ポイント  (7子コメント)

Try some isolated facial muscle exercises. That will also tighten up the skin on your face, not just the muscles, due to increased blood flow and better vascular system. To have this effect, the facial muscle exercises have to be enough to actually get a burn on.

[–]eyelurkewelongtime 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

I will try this! When I was heavier, and even after I had lost some weight, I always worried about the curse of the women in my family-the wattle! That not-quite-double-chin that always made me cringe at seeing my profile. Now by contrast, my neck looks saggy and my cheekbones sharp, leaving me looking so much older. One of my favorite authors frequently said that fat is a good wrinkle filler and that is so true! Losing the weight from my face aged me soo much, I'd like a little of the fat back (just on my face!!) But it's a fair trade. Definitely healthier. And I like the smaller butt (I'm 5'1", so the extra pounds were VERY noticeable!) But thanks for the suggestion, it honestly never occurred to me to try facial exercises. D'oh!

I've lost almost 50 lb over the first half of the year, and lots of people told me I look at least 15 years younger than before. New people I met thought I'm early 20s, when I'm actually 37.

It's weird how, past a certain weight, you stop looking like "you" and just look like a generic fat person. It's almost a human race unto itself.

[–]CowGiraffe 111ポイント112ポイント  (7子コメント)

Right? Every time I see these transformation photos, I am so surprised by how the person "actually" looks once the weight is gone. I catch myself in my real life seeing obese people and wondering what they look like without the extra weight around their face/neck.

[–]Frightenstein 21ポイント22ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'd say it's probably because you can't see the bone structure, just the layer of fat covering it.

It's not a decision. It's an accomplishment that took thousands of decisions.

[–]PuffyCloud81 54ポイント55ポイント  (11子コメント)

Yup! It's about the discipline of making the right decisions over and over for the rest of your life. Ya don't wake up one day, realise you're fat and be like: I have decided to not be fat anymore. It can be a long journey.

Yep. I mean, the weight loss is a definite kicker to this all, but the make up, clothes, and stance are most of the "age" change people are going on about.

Gastric bypass Surgery

[–]nahcabmA 88ポイント89ポイント  (14子コメント)

Are you having any issues with extra skin? I'm coming up on a year from my gastric bypass, I've lost 170 pounds and I feel absolutely amazing, but the sheer amount of extra skin is driving me crazy. My arms look like I'm going to fly away any second.

[–]ituralde_ 30ポイント31ポイント  (1子コメント)

First, congrats on your weight loss. This is amazing progress.

Second, talk to your doctor about it. Chances are, with that dramatic of loss, you may need surgery, but that will be up for them to decide. You'll lose a certain amount of that over time, but it depends somewhat on where it is and how much there is.

Given the raw value, you'll probably need to get surgery at some point for it.

[–]sommerfugl 694ポイント695ポイント  (212子コメント)

Anyone who tells you this is the easy way has no idea how difficult it actually is. Good for you!

[–]Ohsweetmercy 158ポイント159ポイント  (46子コメント)

My cousin had gastric done and hasn't dropped a pound. I still think this woman is dedicated, despite the surgery.

[–]NowHeDed 34ポイント35ポイント  (43子コメント)

How is this possible? That's a genuine question. I mean there's no way you can continue to eat like you did before is there? I know you can gain it back over time, but to not lose any weight at all to begin with? How?

[–]fedupwithpeople 87ポイント88ポイント  (32子コメント)

Gastric bypass isn't a magic bullet, unfortunately. The patient has to follow a strict diet and exercise program. It is actually possible (although unusual) to NOT lose weight following the surgery if the patient isn't compliant with the program. If they still manage to absorb more calories than they burn, they are still going to gain weight.

[–]NowHeDed 21ポイント22ポイント  (22子コメント)

I'm just confused because from the one person I know that has had it they said they could only eat really small portions, and would get really sick if they ate too much. I'm just not following how you could continue to eat so much if your stomach is so much smaller? Off to Google I go!

[–]helpfulkorn 51ポイント52ポイント  (6子コメント)

High calorie items, like very rich foods, small chocolates, milkshakes, fruit juices and smoothies. I knew a guy who ground up cheetoes and mixed them with water so he could drink snacks.

[–]fedupwithpeople 33ポイント34ポイント  (5子コメント)

It's possible.. Look up a show called 'My 600 Pound Life'. I think it's on TLC - there were several patients who just couldn't (or didn't want to) stick with the program.

I guess it affects everyone differently. It's a tool, not a cure-all.

EDIT: Link to a clip from that show

Example of someone who isn't compliant after surgery.

EDIT 2: HOLY SHIT, this is her 2 years later!!

[–]xjayroox 351ポイント352ポイント  (112子コメント)

While it's not the "easy" way, I think most would agree it's an easier way than diet change and exercise alone. Still, great on her no matter the route!

[–]FrederikTwn 21ポイント22ポイント  (5子コメント)

It literally means she can eat less food. The fact that she might then have forced herself to consider what that food is, well, that's where the lifestyle changes.

[–]GarethMagis 115ポイント116ポイント  (42子コメント)

I mean, it'd definitely easier then diet and exercise....

[–]missjlynne 52ポイント53ポイント  (6子コメント)

A friend of mine just went through this. She had to lose weight consistently before the surgery to even be approved for it. And now that she's had the surgery she has to continue to diet -- you can only eat very small portions and for a long time you are forbidden many foods. She has lose 80 more pounds since the surgery and she isn't just sitting around. I'm so proud of her. It isn't the easy way, it just makes it more easy to be consistent.

[–]Midlandsthrowaway93 36ポイント37ポイント  (3子コメント)

Consistency is the main reason people struggle to lose weight so...yes, it is easier. Nobody's trying to take credit away from her for the hard work she put in, but the people that think gastric bypass doesn't make things dramatically easier are delusional.

[–]Snakesquares 44ポイント45ポイント  (17子コメント)

You need to diet for it to work. It keeps you from eating too much all at once, but you can still eat small amounts all day long. Plenty of stories of people who got it done, didn't change their lifestyle and still over ate.

[–]theAmazingShitlord 31ポイント32ポイント  (16子コメント)

But it forces the diet on you. It's definitely easier. Otherwise, why would you do it?

I lost ~90 lbs. about 10 years ago and gained back ~50 after losing focus after about 5-7 years. I'm down 30 again, but just wanted to say that you look GREAT and you have to really make sure that you stay focused. It's a life long battle and don't forget it like I did. Losing weight is hard and depressing at times.

So everyone here is going to tell you that you look great--and you do, you look amazing. But what I want to know is how do you feel? Not emotionally, but physically? What's different? Any surprises? You are basically a whole new person--that has to have some pretty crazy aspects to it

[–]bitterVeg 95ポイント96ポイント  (38子コメント)

I've lost over 100 thought diet and exercise alone, with about 40 more to go. So I can answer if op doesn't.

The biggest surprise for me is not what I can do, but what I still can't do. I still can't hike high altitudes, even though I live in Colorado and spent 2 years at 8k and now in Denver at 5k. But above 8500 I lose my breath.

I'm surprised, even a year into this, at the sheer lack of energy I have with eating at a deficit for an extended period. I have enough energy, but I thought I'd have more.

I'm surprised at the amount of back and hip pain I developed with losing the weight and my posture changing. I've had to be very specific with my core building to retrain the way I walk and stand and sit and sleep.

Speaking of sleep, I had to buy a new mattress because sleeping in my old fat divot was killing my back. Even though I've always rotated it, the divot sucked.

But mostly, because I'm female and because my body is now much more attractive, I'm getting attention I never wanted. I'm becoming extremely agoraphobic. And it's hard for my husband to understand, so that isn't easy. And feeling this way is very unexpected for me.

[–]weary_dreamer 26ポイント27ポイント  (2子コメント)

I had an encounter with agoraphobia after a night I wore a miniskirt with high stockings and heels and quite literally everyone on a NYC block stared as I passed. It was really scary spiral that it sent my mind into, and I didnt leave my apartment except for short bouts in oversized sweats for about two weeks, and it tooks months before I dressed up again.

Take this seriously. Consider a therapist. There's a lot of emotional baggage that feels even more amazing to lose than the weight. The unmet expectations, unexpected male attention, all of that bring up feelings of fear and insecurity that may not have been a priority before. Work through it, please.

[–]bitterVeg 14ポイント15ポイント  (1子コメント)

Honestly thank you for the advice because someone out there needs it as well.

I've been seeing a therapist this whole time with weight loss because I've been dealing with a lot of emotional food issues as well that I absolutely could not navigate on my own. So she knows about the creeping phobia and we have a very rigid plan in place to get me over that, which includes at the moment twice a month I go somewhere on my own. So far is just been to the skin spa and hair stylist, mostly female environments, but I'm working on it for sure.

It scared me when I was too scared to take my dog for a walk, so I'm very invested in figuring this new problem out :)

Not op but another formally obese person. 6' 2" male who Started at 310 lbs on 4th January this and down to 204 now. I don't get shin splints when I walk more than a mile now. I don't get out of breath walking up stairs anymore. And my favourite thing of all is that I sweat a lot less. Even when I'm running 5km which I do 3 times a week, I barely break a sweat now.

I'm so happy for you! I'm glad this was an option because many people who lose the weight naturally deal with the problem of loose skin and it can really wreck their perception body image, sometimes even worse than before. You look great and I'm happy for this change!

I do feel obligated to say one thing... My mother owns a weight loss clinic and my dad is a physician board certified in bariatrics. It's not gone forever if you don't change your diet. I recommend getting in contact with a dietician so you don't slowly lose all your progress :) best of luck!

It doesn't matter how you lose weight, loose skin is a probability. When you're losing in excess of 200lbs it's a guarantee. Skin has limits.

congrats lady, as a fellow former fattie I wanna give you two pieces of advice:

  1. step on the scale EVERY DAY for the rest of your life, and DO NOT accept more than a 5 pound gain without starting up your weight loss routine - as I'm sure you're aware by now an extra 100 calories a day is like a spoonful of food and turns into 15 pounds after a year, it's incredibly easy to put that weight back on!

  2. donate your fat clothes IMMEDIATELY and buy a new slim-fitting wardrobe - having fat clothes in the closet makes it very easy to just put on a few pounds whereas your jeans getting tighter is a great reminder that you should be working to take off a few pounds

trust me I learned these lessons the hard way, regardless great work and good luck keeping the pounds off forever!

I have to agree with this sentiment. Don't get complacent. I did. Lost 130 lbs at age 43 and never felt so good. Fell off the wagon and now I'm 46 and about 85 of that 130 is back! Depression and a sense of futility is waaay worse the next time around.

OK, sorry. I'm not looking for pity. Congratulations. You look great. Please, please, please stay on top of it and don't take it for granted. Keep at it.

I wouldn't recommend stepping on the scale every day. Two times a week, max. There's natural weight fluctuation (~ a kilogram max, nothing major) and some people develop quite unhealthy habits if they constantly feel like they gained weight back overnight. It's important to keep an eye on it, I agree. But every day can become an unhealthy obsession and a frustrating process for the person involved.

Yeah seriously, DO NOT step on the scale everyday and obsess over every single calorie you take in. This isn't just about how much you weigh, it's about mental health as well..

Nice job OP! The 250lbs isn't gone forever though... don't become complacent. The battle has just begun. Keep exercising and eating right, but don't forget to spoil yourself every now and then. Congrats on your new lifestyle.
