UPDATE: 650-lb. virgin regains 300 lbs

[wirednuts]

hes one of those people who eat a 1 pound steak and it adds 5 pounds to his body somehow

 

[EvilYoda]

I closed it when he started to cry talking about Megan...made me want to slap my monitor.

 

[Bateluer]

This kinda hits home. But am I the only one thinking Megan is bit of a crappy girlfriend for not putting the brakes on the rapid weight gain before he became a blob again?

 

[wirednuts]

i think all of this is fake. notice how little they actually show him working out. he prob has some medical condition where he can turn his weight gain on or off with a pill. doing this for publicity and money. no decent looking girl like that would be with stay puff

 

[amdhunter]

It's bullshit that a fat piece of shit like that has a girl and I don't.

 

[Anonemous]

Wow that's the ARC I miss that place.

 

[arrfep]

It's amazing what weight does to the face alone.

He is a handsome motherfvcking charming confident young man after weight loss. Look at that smile!

Then when he's fat, he's just a miserable piece of fat slob. It's scary to see both are the same face.

Ya, that's a creepy camera cut at around 1:50.

Really kind of a sad story. Easy to not feel sorry for obese people when you just see them as obese, but to see a transformation, then struggle and then regression kind of makes you realize it's probably tougher on them than any fit (or even simply average) person could imagine.

 

[Lonyo]

Yeah, but equally you KNOW that it's their own fault that it's happened.

She's probably listed as the sole beneficiary on his life insurance policy.

:sneaky:

 

[Bill Brasky]

That's nice. I feel so much better about myself that I don't look like that.

Same here. I love my cardio and being in shape. Just climbed a 14er yesterday. :awe:

 

[destrekor]

I'd say more like a leather bean bag chair filled with pudding.

I'm mystified as well about how someone gets that big. I had a regular sized steak and half a potato for dinner and I feel full. How can someone even physically consume that much food in one go? Then again I don't eat a lot of high caloric, high fat foods. Buddy must be pounding back Cold Stone milkshakes like theyre going out of style.

Nothing wrong with high fat.

This.

I basically aim for a high fat, high protein diet. When I lose focus, I fall back toward more carbs than I should (though still eat a lot less sugars than I used to), but high fat (done properly) can be wonderful. If balanced properly, it'll even help you feel more satiated after meals.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

He might have a problem with eating too much.

 

[CRXican]

his neck or lack there of is like half my torso

I can't imagine 250 lbs in two years. I haven't managed to gain a pound in like 10 years. Still waiting for my metabolism to slow down...

 

[Smoblikat]

He should have stuck with the alcohol and drugs. They're more fun.

For a time, after too much use he probobly felt like shit and wanted to die.

 

[finbarqs]

in the video, he did say he tried committing suicide. But it's pretty encouraging that the chick still stuck by his side. That's the kind of chick every guy wants (well at least I do): somebody who will just accept you for who you are, and let you do whatever. And when you decide to change your life around, all they can do is be there for you.

And he did have skin surgery. It's that after the skin surgery, he still had too much skin.

Where was she before he lost all that weight the first time around?

I could probably eat twice that much. :\ The secret is... just not doing it!

Then again I don't eat a lot of high caloric, high fat foods. Buddy must be pounding back Cold Stone milkshakes like theyre going out of style.

One thing that I changed awhile back was drinking calories. If I can help it, I avoid drinking anything with calories.

It's actually pretty surprising when you realize how many calories some things have. I usually just consider that if it has grains in it, chances are it has a decent amount of calories. Although, rice seems to be somewhat better than wheat. I try to do some substitutions such as chicken instead of beef. I find that chicken tends to have 1/2 to 3/4 as many calories as beef.

 

[melly]

That is really heartbreaking. It's unfortunate that he couldn't handle the emotions and effectively deal with the problem.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I think the best solution for him is instead of eating a dump truck load of food every day, he should maybe eat a pickup truck load. At least it would be a start.

Seriously though, how much freaking food does one have to consume to get that fat, it's not by accident. I eat pizza, burgers, poutine and lot of other bad foods and I eat those foods very often, and maintain between 150-160 pounds. The highest I've ever gone was like 165 pounds. Skip eating that crap for a few days and boom, down to 160, continue to stop eating that crap for another couple days, boom down to 155. And that's without really working out. Unless going up the flight of 40ish stairs at work a couple times a day counts as a workout. That might burn like 10 calories, if that.

 

[CRXican]

It really is a mystery. On the weekends I think my beer calories outweigh my food calories. Even then, I don't gain any weight. As much as I hate to admit it, there must be some sort or genetic factor involved.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have a metabolism like you. I have to work extremely hard not to gain wait just by selling it.

I know what you mean. There's no way that I could adjust my calories for a few days and lose five pounds... unless we're talking about water weight or something useless like that.

 

[anyusername]

He's just bulking

haha

 

[finbarqs]

you know what would be awesome, is if he got on Chris Powell's show "extreme makeover weight loss edition". It'll be like a reunion with the financial support of the show! This time, it'll be the right way of doing things...

That is a pretty good show i think. definitely entertaining!
