How can a 500lb woman lose weight?

[thsker]

She wants to start swimming in her pool, she says that her body wont weigh as much, but she wants to do it alone and I think she should be supervised. She looked at me weird lol ... But isnt it dangeorous?

Why would it be dangerous? Fat floats. Although she may have a hard time getting herself out of the pool if it doesn't have steps.

[HILMAN76]

she's 60 and 500 pounds, if it was me, I'd just say fugg it and stay heavy and keep eating like a happy pig, sadly at 60 and 500 pounds, her days on earth are few, even if she lost the weight, the years of abuse on her body and organs are probably irrevesrable and permanent.

If she is truly unhappy, then eat less, I hope and wish the best for her. Let her know about MyFitnessPal. And get rid of the enablers feeding her!!!!!

[Trbba]

Sounds like she's delusional with regards to what it takes to live life at a healthy weight, just like nearly every fatty ever, and it's gonna be damn near impossible to logic with her at 60 years old.

Step one is education.

[SaliorUSN]

since she is confined to the bed, tell the person who ever is buying her food and feeding her to stop giving her so much, then take away her phone and block all food delivery services .

[JERlCOE]

Are you kidding? At that wait she could probably eat 5K calories a day and lose weight...

wait


...WAIT

[MakeABanana]

Direct her to WetBreasts's thread. Beyond, she's going to have to come to terms that weight loss will be a marathon, not a sprint. Sadly, the overwhelming majority of people (~95-98%) who try to lose weight through conservative measures (diet and exercise) will end up gaining it back again.

For her to become part of that 2-5%, she needs to build the motivation. At 60 years old, people are usually stubborn and entrenched into their habits, so she could be a hopeless case. Just being straight with you.

get up off your lazy fat ass

[Bella518]

Starve her for a weekend and see the weight melt away.

semi srs...eating 1500 calories a day on a weekend should produce results that would motivate me if I were 500lbs.

I think this would be a good idea. If she could eat 1,500 calories for a couple of days, and drop a couple of pounds of water weight, maybe this would motivate her and then she can start a more realistic diet.

How can she weigh herself though? She said last time she tried at the doctors, the scale didnt go high enough....

[BlueCollarBrah]

you cant help her if she wont commit to a lifestyle change. a week or a month on a diet wont help her.

[sbsponger]

That's the problem. She has tried so many diets and gives up a couple of days later. She wants something that works fast and dont know how to keep her motivated

if shes not motivated to keep with it in the long run, she will most likely gain the weight back if she gets lipo or something

[djbalance]

there are two choices here and you must confront her like this


either she can continue living like an blob of lard, probably stuffing fried chicken down her gob and eventually her artiries will give way and she'll need a crane too hall her heavy ass too the graveyard

or she can get fucking motivated, eat clean food, mainly fruits and vegetable, avoid all fats, do as much physical activity as possible, eg arm raises, walking, swimming etc and drop weight down too a level where she can have lap band surgery.


i think we both know which path shes gonna choose though

[HowSoonIsNow]

Women don't have the mental willpower to do it.

They are weak and stupid.

She probably gets money from fat chasers anyway.

[KhanBro]

go to her house and throw out all of her chatty food, i can only imagine what someone has to eat to maintain 500 lbs.

Then restock it with literally anything other what she has in her cabinets.

Also if she can barely get to the bathroom, who is cooking for her. Find that person and beat them senseless and replace that person with a monkey who brings the woman literally anything other than what she is eating








also this thread could be renamed "How can't a 500lb woman lose weight?"

I'll let her know about myfitnesspal. She cant walk at this point. It's too much weight for her joints and she cant keep balance.

her sister gives her food, and the neighbors are paid to cook for her because she can't walk. Some neighbors tried to help her cooking healthy but she didnt want it anymore

She wants to start again...

[BlueCollarBrah]

Just sitting there her tdee is 3400cals. 1500cals might be to hard for her to start the cut if she is used to eating alot. Probably start her at 2k-2400 so she doesnt give up because getting her to commit mentally is your problem and she will still lose a couple pounds a week

[iamtough]

same as a 200 lbs woman, by eating less.

[hammerfelt]

"But she quickly gives up." That is cruz of the situation right there. Being sedentary in bed is probably the major cause of this. Find simple repetitive tasks to do each day even if it is lifting legs with ankle weights on them. Come up with a progression program that in effect sets a PR every workout just like a beginner linear progression lifting program does like StrongLifts. So. something like 1lb weight x reps, next workout 1lb weight x+1 reps, after a few workouts go up a lb and drop back to the original rep, work up to max rep from previous weight

The main goal here is to get to the point that she can walk. Then start progression program with walking.

The fastest way to lose weight is to fast. It is also the fastest way to gain weight once your are done with the fast so there is a big grain of salt with fasting. To give you an idea I have lost 29lbs in 8 days and 39lbs in 13 days weighing in the 300's. She would lose probably more.

The Lemonade fast/Master Cleanse would be an option, it is what I have used. Lemon juice, maple syrup, pinch of cayenne in water. You can drink "unlimited" amounts of it. Be sure to use Grade B Maple Syrup. Grade A light and dark is too enticing and will be much harder to complete successfully. Grade B is not a picnic almost a sickening sweet taste to it. You will learn to hate it. Hate it with a passion. After a couple days on the fast I will cut back to one large glass and sip throughout the day.

If she can make it 5 or 6 days she will find out great benefits to fasting. You will feel very euphoric. Your body is rejoicing at all the crap that is leaching out. Most evident on the tongue. She will definitely want a tongue scraper. The tongue will be covered in much muck; visual evidence of how well fasting works. The brain will be so alive that you will feel like you can accomplish anything.

Breaking a fast. Always break at night. Breaking a fast will bring on a hunger like no other. The lesser amount of time before going to bed when breaking the fast the better. Means less time to overeat.

Fasting is not a good long term solution to weight loss, but it can open someone's mind to the point that they can lose weight. Once someone discovers they can lose weight more traditional methods could be introduced as the confidence factor goes up.

[ThxObama]

the fuk? she can lose weight the same way any one else can.

if you mean motivation, tell her shes a fat fuk and if she doesnt stick to a diet shes gonna die. if she tries and gives up in a few days she just doesnt want it. move on with your life.

Her sister gives her food. She says she can't say no because she feels bad if her sister is hungry.

[Godfrd824]

Someone that large can benefit from a strict, large caloric deficit. Studies have been done where people like this have been placed on extremely restrictive diets, and have lost tons of weight while maintaining their health and becoming healthy. 500 calories, and a multi for 30 days and then reassess.

If she's confined to her bed, she can't get up to get food, so put her on a diet, and make sure no one brings her food.

ask her is she will feel bad when her sister dies and she helped contribute to her death

[HowSoonIsNow]

lmao

[SlootMcGee]

Honestly I'm more rustled at the people who enable her and feed her. She is going to die before 70 almost guaranteed at this rate.

Cook healthy for her and cut the portions in half. If she doesn't want it, do NOT give in; let her starve if she doesn't like the food - it's her choice. She will start eating real quick as almost no humans have the will power to go on a real hunger strike.

It's better to watch her cry over not getting to eat a tub of Snicker's Ice Cream than to watch her cry because she's actively killing herself.

[TraininBrah]

Get everyone to only give her healthy calorie controlled meals and if she doesn't like it tell her to make something herself. Keep an eye on her so she doesn't die in bed tho

[Ayz33]

yeah....."this woman"....sure

[Prose Edda]

If she genuinely wanted change she would keep to it and not give up. =/

Her bed ii's a hospital bed. She can't lay down or else she suffocates.

pics or it didn't happen

[Dirtymoney5]

Show her Wetbreasts progress IMO. Get her motivated to shed some fat
