You look disgusting, and need a tarp to put over that body, It caused my wife to throw up, and made me pretty sick as well. Is this some type of joke?

Not funny, please cover up, until you lose that 150 pounds of cellulite. thank you for serving our country. You just have really poor taste and manners.

My response was a little rash,

Quote:

Wow, I've never been this mad at someone I've never met. You sir, are a jerk. You and your wife can kiss my ass.

but he came back with both guns blazing

Quote:

omg, what a sick sight. Your naked ass is nothing to joke about. If anything you should be motivated to lose a hundy, and take pictures that are not so offensive. Being in the fitness industry, I did not mean to offend you, but just point out the fact that you are a fat ass. I sure hope your wife is not a fat ass. I have 3 suggestions for you and your wife. Gym membership, Teach her to cook with less fat, or TERM LIFE INSURANCE. at least she will benefit from your demise. and Please, for all the bikini goddesses that have weak stomach, would you please put on a shirt. My wife also made a suggestion, Do Cardio out the ass!! Until you Puke, Your so obese, its best to burn fat calories. then get to the weights, thats free advice from a bikini model, that has a weak stomach. and show some respect to women please.

So, I decided to take the high road, but still felt like crap...

Quote:

Well, I guess it's just your way.

1. The Army provides a great gym.
2. $400,000 Servicemens group life insurance (from the Army).
3. Doing Atkins and Cardio and have lost 22 lbs in the last 20 days.

"Offensive"? You are being ridiculous, I've seen much worse before pictures, I only weight 276 lbs, but I've seen 400 lbs before pics.

Hopefully you can learn to be more constructive, and if you work in the fitness industry, I can't ever see how you could motivate anyone with your comments.

I'm usually the type of person that doesn't let things get to them, but this one cut me to the core... I was literally sick to my stomach... when I told my wife, she tried to console me but to no avail...

It hurt.

kaotickilla · 12-28-2008, 08:35 PM

What an *******.

Probably just an e-thug, and way fatter and more out of shape. Just know he is probably useless.

fuk that prick!!!!!!!

seriously DO NOT let it bother you anymore than it already has.

MethuselahDCB · 12-28-2008, 08:39 PM

Yeah, my wife said something along those lines "He's probably fatter than you are and pissed off that your losing weight!"... I'd like to think so, but it's probably not true.

Kate1 · 12-28-2008, 08:45 PM

I'm sorry someone was such an a$$hole to you. We are all here because we are trying to get fit & healthy. Don't let anybody get in your way of progress to your goal!

MethuselahDCB · 12-28-2008, 08:50 PM

I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

**jkeithc82** · 12-28-2008, 08:51 PM

I couldn't actually find any of his posts, but for the email I banned him for a few weeks. Don't let this crap deter you.

MethuselahDCB · 12-28-2008, 08:58 PM

I appreciate that, I really do...thank you.

Throwdown515 · 12-28-2008, 09:03 PM

People like that make me sick to my stomach. This guy obviously has nothing better to do than to email trash to people. It's not often you find people like that on this forum but there are a few people that have nothing better to do with their time.

Don't let it get you down man, you are well on your way to a much better way of life. 22 lbs in 20 days is amazing. I've had great results on the Atkins diet as well. Keep up the good progress and post an AFTER picture in about 3 months that will shove a boot in that guy's mouth. Keep it up!

MethuselahDCB · 12-28-2008, 09:12 PM

Will do... starting to feel better already... heading off to bed... see you all 2morrow.

nesse · 12-28-2008, 09:14 PM

he sounds jealous
dont sweat it

GJ on your weight loss bro.. keep training strong and don't let anyone get you down

Kenai603 · 12-28-2008, 09:19 PM

Don't let the prick get to you. He's probably someone that tried to reach a goal (lose weight, etc) ad failed miserably, so now he will act tough and lash out at anyone who is reaching their goal.

Keep up the good work and thank you for your service!

taf1968 · 12-28-2008, 09:20 PM

Like others have said . . . try not to let it get to you. Some people are jackasses. Just keep at it and be proud of your progress--every bit gets you closer to your goals!

IwishIwasBuff · 12-28-2008, 10:04 PM

C'mon dude man up. This is the internet. I would take 5% of what is posted on it seriously. Do your thing and dont worry about people like this.

DITTO...You ever ponder the idea that it may be someone that you know and is messing with you? You can't win internet arguments cause there are to many idots out there. 1. lAUGH / 2.REPORT HIM / 3.MOVE ON!
btw..you don't even look like you are 276LBS!!! That's a good thing.

NavyBound · 12-28-2008, 10:30 PM

Should've told him if he's so fit and great...

Why doesn't he have a set of dogtags? Where's his M16? Why doesn't he grow the balls to pick up a weapon and guard a post?

F*** that asshat. Don't listen to him. Don't argue with him. Simply point out that your "obese ass" which somehow GOT INTO THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES....is out there protecting his sorry ass. Don't criticize...don't insult...just say THANK YOU and move along...

Either way, BZ on your loss so far, man. Keep it up.

rowleyslide16 · 12-28-2008, 10:40 PM

I would just read what he wrote b4 a training session and let that fire me up to where i would go crazy in the gym. But dont let that **** get to you dude, as long as your progressing, **** what people say dude.

You sir are a jerk, both you and your wife can kiss my ass

that is priceless bro, f*** that guy

dunkonu9 · 12-28-2008, 10:50 PM

Fuk that dude. He is a piece of shat.

Your doing a good thing getting started working hard and staying dedicated for you wife and son.

Just keep his email and make sure when you get down there you send him some progress pics.

It really sucks knowing your serving your country giving them the right to talk to other people like that. Still his wife is probably a fat disgusting piece of shat and she would make us all sick if her fat ass posted pics.

goodfella0729 · 12-28-2008, 11:52 PM

people are idiots man dont listen to that jerk. you are doing a great job just stick to your plan and stay motivated. when i was around 270lbs people making fun of me was my motivation to lose the weight and get in shape. and you are here learning and posting which shows you have the motivation most people do not. good luck man and keep up the good work.

Young_One · 12-28-2008, 11:54 PM

Keeping working on the weight loss, you are doing great and have more will power that most of our country, and I can't thank you enough for what you have done to protect our nation. Reps 4 u.

mikeyboi23 · 12-29-2008, 12:02 AM

People like that are everywhere man. i know that from experience.
just Don't let them get to you, otherwise they have won. Just keep going strong, working hard and keep your goals in mind. If you get yourself in that state of mind, you have already mentally lost the weight/gained the muscle, and that's half the battle.

The guy who did it probably just did it to make himself feel better about being weak-minded by bashing someone who is trying to make an effort to change their body and lifestyle, which is not an easy thing to do. It takes real guts, and you have them bro.

Respect for serving the country that I live in. I most definitely appreciate it. Stay safe.

erichikov · 12-29-2008, 12:14 AM

Don't let him bring you down. You look great and are making great progress!

And thank you for serving our country.

152_pilot · 12-29-2008, 12:24 AM

probably just a jealous prick. There's no way that guy is actually a trainer.

zmeiaspas · 12-29-2008, 01:10 AM

Even if he's ronnie coleman himself, he's a totally worthless prick. Don't let him affect your motivation man. His life probably sucks balls and he was trying to feel better by belittling other people. Quite frankly I kinda pity that guy.

From what you’ve posted, you seem to be making awesome progress! Keep at it and your dream body slowly emerge from within you

Cheers and happy new year in advance!

Kongo74 · 12-29-2008, 01:13 AM

Dude, you were in the military, that guy is probably castrated because he said that.

Riceboi · 12-29-2008, 01:20 AM

full metal jacket anyone?

izzylicious · 12-29-2008, 01:28 AM

dont worry about him. u are at least trying. he is a useless piece of shiit. u keep going and get better work

maybe we see u later as an inspiring shape in transformations thread. good luck , and dont let stupid people bother u. just keep up the good work.

thatboijohn · 12-29-2008, 02:46 AM

DUDE your in the service. dont worry about that guy all that matters is that ur losing it anyways. when your big these are one of the things you have to go through. just think about what everyone else will be saying after you lose weight.

JC707 · 12-29-2008, 02:51 AM

Wow, I'm pretty surprised that happened here... sorry to hear that.
