I found it hard work eating enough to gain 3kg in the three weeks I spent in Malaysia. I had to eat almost twice as much as I ordinarily do.

He said eventually he would like to get down to 240 pounds -- although the last time he saw that on the scale was when he was in sixth grade.

Egad. I was upward of 55 pounds in sixth grade.

Post by: Rictor on January 22, 2005, 02:32:25 am: In my old building, there was this one really fat guy. And we're talking like extra jumbo fat here. Not only that, but he was extremely dirty as well, to the point that I avoided his whole floor and sometimes even the ones above and below it (this is actually true. I delivered flyers in my building, and no one on the third floor ever got any. )

Anyway, I go back to the old neighborhood a few years ago to see my friend, and we're walking through the courtyard of my old building. I haven't been back there in a year or two, and you know what the first sight is that hits my eyes?

Mark, the guys name is Mark by the way, on his terrace, without a shirt. Apparently, he's taking in the summer rays, maybe wants to get a nice tan going. That image is forever burned into my brain.

Just though you guys might like to know.

Tell me about it, I'm 1.83 and I weight only 58kg :doubt:
And I used to eat an awful lot but... well, I've just given up, no result, I could never break the 58kg limit.

Post by: IceFire on January 22, 2005, 10:55:58 am: Wow that man is huge. I guess I'll never understand. I stay at a constant 145lbs which is maybe a bit light for a 5'11. Still too sedentary...only get proper excercise a couple of times a week.

Its just so freaking hard to get excercise when the temperature outside is -15 or blizzarding. So you rely on indoor and you try and schedule it around school. Gotta do something new...its really a pain!

My uncle likes to send me, my dad, and my brother funny pics. Yestereday he sent us one featuring a woman sitting on a bench in a park. Taking up the whole bench. But thats not the kicker. She's wearing a blouse, and down near her ankles, there's a roll of fat that has her BELLYBUTTON on it.

I'll post the pic.

You must be a string bean, if I lost 100lbs(can't happen and me still be healthy) I'd be as skinny as rail.

Tell me about it. Clothing designers must think that as your waist line increases your leg length decreases. I have a 34" inseam and it's almost impossible to find clothes, much less pants with a 42" waist.

Not really. 200lbs is a guestimate, because I don't own a scale. The last time I weighed myself I was 190, and I've put on a fair bit of weight since then.
