ASK THE (formerly) FATTEST MAN ON THE MISC ANYTHING (srs) (pics) pt. 3

[KKieffer]

Wow I haven't been on in a long time as well. I remember the 1st day you posted the thread. I had faith and hope for you. I had wondered how you have been doing. It's such amazing progress. Don't worry about a few set backs. You've done such a great job you look great now.

[UnaChispita]

Jesse-
Sounds like you've hit a bit of a glitch, but are also doing some great things (like talking to a therapist). Hang in there! I am rooting for you!

[scumtroll69]

You're gonna make it mane, take some time off to get your head right, but don't let the gains slip at the same time. Proud of you.

Am I the fattest man on misc now? I just started lifting on Monday. 306lbs and 43% body weight.

I lost 80 lbs 325-245 then got married and went up to 306. Counting macros and lifiing 3x/week and doing c25k

A book I see recommended in regards to binge eating is called "Brain Over Binge"

Appreciate it, and I will try not to worry about it

UNA! Hope all is well with you the last couple weeks are nothing I am proud of, thats for sure, but I am having a good week this week so far and feeling confident that I can still come up with some kind of loss by weigh in. I am just going to keep pushing. I also am enthusiastic about seeing someone weekly to talk to about my struggles. My therapist seems good, and I am very pleased with her

did you tell her about the misk and all of our crazy endeavors?
was she mirin?

Yes, I of course told her all about the misc and the weight loss and everything that came with it. I also gave her the website and name of the forum, so its possible that she is mirin

Wetty. We all get thrown off our game from time to time. You've made killer progress and this is simply a bump in the road compared to where you've been headed. Take some time to give your head a break and then get back to it. Sometimes we just need to take a conscious break from gym/cutting instead of mistakenly doing it

I just put too much pressure on myself with weigh ins, and when I mess up, I immediately feel filled with such intense self loathing that it often leads to me being reckless and messing up 10x worse. It is one of the biggest things I aim to address

I too have a tendency to binge. I'm going to start reading this soon, maybe something you'd be interested in.

You got this brah.

downloading now, ty

Nice of you to even get the courage to make this thread

it was the one time in my life, trolling paid off

You're gonna make it mane, take some time off to get your head right, but don't let the gains slip at the same time. Proud of you.

Danke, but I simply can't take time off, not when I am this close. I am too terrified of slipping into old habits. Once I am at my goal weight + loose skin weight, I will let myself readjust

Am I the fattest man on misc now? I just started lifting on Monday. 306lbs and 43% body weight.

not by a long shot, but thats a good thing, truly. Keep lifting, dont do too much at once and just be consistent over the long term and you will be juicy in no time my friend

Wetty everyone has setbacks whether they are minor or major...I have fell off the wagon flat on my fuggin face numerous times...just gotta pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep pushin!

Word, thats exactly what I am going to do

[leoaa777]

Just coming in to get my monthly dose of motivation. Need to read up on your developments and setbacks. You are an inspiration Jesse, 269 lbs now ?? Repped.

[Ronceiro]

You're 269lbs now?? Holy $hit, you've lost tons since I last checked your progress. Keep hustlin cuz. Every path to greatness has bumps along the way, you're meant to face a setback. Setbacks are opportunities to become stronger and better.

[UnaChispita]

Glad to hear things are going better Jesse!

[tng83]

Keep on trucking Jesse. I tell just about everyone I know about you and they are always amazed. You'll hit road blocks but if your strength thus far is any indication of what you're capable of then I know you'll be fine. Get back on track, see your therapist regularly, and keep your hopes up that surgery will come soon.

[swks26]

OP, will we be releasing a book on your journey?

[armored]

390 freaking ass lbs (that you lost). never undermine how impressive that is, wetty

[robertk232]

Checking in to say hi.

[kabuto123]

Reps to anyone who helps me find wettys most recent progress pics.
Also DW about small mistakes, its natural to crave food at times, you'll be fine. Congrats on the huge progress so far

[mp83]

Dude, you've lost almost 400 fricken lb. You can do this. You have and are inspiring people to take that first step. Everyone has some setbacks. As long as you don't let them become a permanent habit, you will crush them.

I tore my labrum in Oct of 2013, took 6 months off lifting. I had a neck issue in Feb of 2015, had to take another 3 months off. Labrum tear re-flared up and had to take another 6 weeks off. You can do this man.

That is a good sentiment. I hate going backwards. I put a lot of pressure on myself with these weigh ins and its heartbreaking when I feel like I am going to disappoint the people who have done so much for me. Yet the pressure I put on myself leads to more problems and stumbles, so I am trying to get a good hold on it.

Glad to hear things are going better Jesse!

they are, and I am going to really keep myself in check these last days before weigh in. I am not positive it will fix everything, but I feel better all the same

Thanks man!

I wont rule it out!

390 freaking ass lbs (that you lost). never undermine how impressive that is, wetty

yeah it can be easy sometimes to lose sight of the positive things that have happened when negative things are happening. Its important for me to try to keep the big picture in perspective. I am not always good at that.

Checking in to say hi.

hey hey! good to see you brother

Hey WB, so proud of your progress so far.

How do you like the Apple health thing that you're using? From what I've seen using an apple watch it's not that great.

Anyways, I still have my Garmin 310XT (which is an amazing running/cycling/swimming watch) that I can send you. Garmin Connect is amazing and even connects to MyFitnessPal. I went from 270 lbs to 217 lbs in like 3 months because I used the data from the watch as motivation (trying to beat last week's miles, time, etc.). i swear, if there's one thing better than the feeling after a 6+ mile run, it's the amount of food you can eat due to the amount of calories burned

Let me know man

The health kit is okay, needs some major improvements. I am a big sucker for data. I like having updated stats, even moreso because my weight loss is so public. I am extremely interested in the garmin connect, you said it can be used swimming too? That would be huge for me this winter, as I will need some cardio to replace my cycling, and swimming is something I cannot currently get data on. I'll shoot you a pm

Edit: your pm box is full at the moment

[WSG1]

Inb4 next weigh in is like a 10+ lbs loss

[stknrice]

are you afraid of bulking again?

[Wetbreasts]

Yes.

[pencilneckg33k]

Yes.

do you wish you were a unicorn? sometimes i wish i was a unicorn

That would explain why I haven't had a pm in a while lol. It's cleared now

[Wetbreasts]

That sounds a little too close to being on that brony time

Awesome, PM sent!

[Ruckus91]

I hope the therapist can help you with finding balance. You obviously don't want to slack, but there's no need to have such a fearful relationship with food. I fully believe you can find a place where you can really enjoy food, cooking, beer, whatever, and still maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Good luck!

Much appreciated, I hope I can find that balance too. I would love to be able to just have something I am craving, feel no guilt, and move on without thinking about it, but thats just not how I am wired as of now. It doesn't help that my over-stressing of it all has resulted in good results consistently. It has been teaching me that these behaviors are okay, even though I know, in truth, its not sustainable or particularly healthy.

I'm catching up to you Wetty. I didn't have quite as far to go though.

Any luck looking for jobs yet?

[Hadzikic]

what are your t levels like btw or have you not had them tested? surely they would have flatlined when you were 600lbs+

[bigfor15]

Haven't checked this thread in a while, but holy hell...269 lbs?! You've lost the equivalent of two grown men! Keep it up buddy, hoping for the best.
