oh by the way fattysucks-5 years ago, I raised my son, worked 2 jobs (taught and opened a cafe) dont like to cook-but did anyway, and STILL found the time to lose 80 muddafuckin lbs, enter my first bodybuilding contest and come in third.

Now, stop crying like a little fucking BITCH and sacrifice. Dont join a forum like this and expect not to be flamed for your "woah is me" attitude. Shut the fuck up, hop on a treadmill, sweat, throw a couple of barbells around, make yourself a protein shake and some five minute old fashioned oatmeal and get off the waiting line at Wendys you fucking sobbing-ass nitwit.

^wow juggernaut, do you kiss your son with that mouth? you people cant even have an internet argument without resorting to curses and cheap lines.

the point of my thread was to see how other people would deal with my busy schedule. like I said before, is not that im not willing to sacrifice or that I wont cook, I said I didnt know how to but didnt limit it to that. you people want a cookie for all your life's achievements? I really hope to god that I dont become so arrogant when I lose weight.

damn bro, im seriously in shock. do you not comprehend what 3 POUNDS PER WEEK MEANS? its simple math..... every 7 days, I plan to lose 3 pounds... so, thats 12 pounds and month, 144 a year.

do I need to put 144pounds on my sig so it can be clear? I dont know what my exact goal is, as long as I keep losing it till I feel happy with myself.

are we clear now?

Get the thought of pounds out of your head before it gets engrained like it was in me for a while. Pounds don't mean shit - bodyfat percentage does. I would happily weigh 260 lbs if it was at 9% bodyfat

That and the reason people are flaming is just a raw attitude thing. On forums like this, you need to have a "what do I need to do" attitude. Your initial post gives off a "here's a list of things I don't want to do" attitude. Just change that over, and really listen to some of the more knowledgeable people. It's really just an attitude thing.

As for your goals, I say change them personally. Don't look at it week by week, I guarantee there are some weeks you won't lose shit. Set a goal for the end-game, preferably with a bodyfat, not weight, or with some visual imagery. Personally I don't have a bodyfat goal, my goal is to have ripped abs by the end of June. Set a goal you don't think you can reach, and push to reach it. If your goal isn't making you nervous or scaring you a little, then your goal isn't grand enough - that's my opinion anyway.

Don't worry. With that attitude, you'll stay a fatass forever.

WTF is wrong with people here? fatSucks needs advise not someone acting like an asshole. Grow up people. If you have nothing positive to contribute to this thread then please just don't post ... but stop harassing fatSucks.

This thread should be closed before it spirals downward.

Total ownage.

Not all good advice comes with a pretty bow on the top, a warm fuzzy feeling, and a pat on the ass.

On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

You need to make the decision that you want to change. Then do whatever it takes to do it. Will it be easy? NO. If you want it bad enough, you will find a way.

yeea but it didnt come out right. I'll try harder next time. Thanks for pointing that out to me. Sorry for being so convoluted.

fatSucks

Thanks man, I appreciate your post.
what do you think i should do more, cardio or weight lifting? ill post up some routines as I find them. i honestly know nothing about weight lifting.

thanks for the help.

ps. I found the Body fat estimator, this is where Im at:

Im 5'11 @ 313lbs, waist size, I put 44 since thats what I use for pants. I dont really have a measuring tape right now to get the exact number.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimate #1 based on height and weight
Your "Ponderal Index" is 10.46 which gives an estimated body fat of 64.9% (203.2 pounds of fat)

Estimate #2 based on waist size and weight
Estimated body fat of 18.7% (58.5 pounds of fat)

If you are serious about making any progress. Changes are going to be made in the Kitchen.

After that a decent weight training program.

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

no fucking around; that's a serious amount of weight. You need to see a doctor to make sure you have no underlying problems (cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, etc)...

Since you've begun to actually post something substantive with the intentions of helping fatSucks I'll take this one on the chin. Catch ya in another thread some time ...

Getting a handle on your diet is what everyone is suggesting here. If I were you I'd be all like "How do I do that?". SO the idea then is to set a plan of action that you can see yourself actually following through with. A unrealistic plan is just going to help perpetuate failure and eventually send you north of your current 313 pounds.

FS can you deal with using a site like NutritionData.com? The thought being that you plug your diet in and look at what you eat that is most harmful. Changing everything about your life all at once is not realistic FS, but doing it a little at a time over a month or two is very doable.

Finding the greatest threats to your weight loss goals is next. What habits do you have that cause you to fail at weight loss? Obvious remarks about couches and 3000 calorie snack binging aside, what habits can you minimize and then eliminate that are causing you to stay at that weight?

See where I'm going here? Set a plan that includes replacing bad foods and habits with healthy foods and solid living habits at a rate that you can live with. You didn't add that 140 extra pounds in a moment, this is the result of an unhealthy lifestyle that over several years has built you up to 313 pounds. You're not going to reverse that in a week by coming here but you will reverse this over a few months by training yourself to be successful.

fatSucks

dude, thank you so much. this is so inspirational. my bad habits are that I usually do not eat breakfast, and I fast all the way till my first lunch hour, which is around 4pm. then I dont eat again till like around 11pm.
I usually eat from Pollo tropical, i have their rice, beans, corn and chicken combo. its prob the healthiest thing around, but im sure is nothing compared to a home meal. when I get too sick of it, I eat a turkey sandwich from wendys with a baked potato. from a long time ago I stopped drinking soda and boxed juices. for its usually water or water with crystal light.

I want to include smaller snacks in between meals so I can speed up my metabolism. I honestly use the bathroom like 2 times a week. maybe 3. I plan on buying oatmeal and some fruits to snack on while im at work. ive also heard that they sell bagged brown rice that I can boil and take to work. I also have one of those G foreman grill like someone suggested and ill start cooking some chicken breast.

like I said before, I work 2 full time jobs. so gym time during my workdays is completely out of the question. for now. I plan on going part time on one of them so I can squeeze in some gym time in there. I can hit up the gym twice a week during my days off.

Unless you are getting rich over night, drop one of the jobs. Your health and well being are 1 million times more important than another paycheck that is only aiding in you killing yourself. You do understand that at your height, waist size, and weight are extremely dangerous man. I am 1" shorter than you, and the most I EVER was in my life (before starting my lifestyle change) was 265 lbs and a 40 inch waist. I felt and looked like absolute garbage. It was seriously disgusting. Now, at a pretty decent looking 195, I can finally see my muscles shining through. I am addicted to eating healthy and training hard. I get more pussy and looks from hot chicks now than I could have ever imagined.

You, my friend are at some dangerous stats right there. You need to take action now before you develop some serious health problems. And don't act like an asshole towards the people that want to see you succeed. I owe alot of what I've accomplished to the knowledge and support of the people that frequent these forums. Show some respect or you won't get shit in return. Now get off your tubby ass and go do something.

After almost 2 weeks... I am back and better than ever.
