My weight loss battle.

U guys may or may not understand...how much it fucking sucks...to always be thinking about...will i fit.
From going to dinner, wondering if the chairs have arms...or if the table in the booth is movable... to only going to certain theaters because the chairs there have moveable armrests. If I want to ride instead of drive with someone...no joke...I can't ride in Dayrons car or it will rub constantly. One time I took my car to Johan's and I stole his rhd s13 to run around in....It rubbed so hard on the front driver's side...

The owner of the shop that sponsor's me, Brian has this bad ass lifted 4runner. I broke the bolster on his passenger seat, trying to get into it.

ALL OF THESE THINGS....are all things a fat person such as myself thinks about on a day to day basis.

Luckily my wife has been more than accommodating. She knew I was a big dude and has never once in her life told me to lose weight, or to stop eating. Although I know at times she wanted to, and she is more worried about my health then my appearance...my wife and i work together, so we carpool to the same office (don't see each other for basically the entire day) and then go home in the same car...and when we get home, everyday she still makes herself pretty for me and makes dinner, etc... the perfumes the sexy clothing, whatever it may be. (old school egyptian women are the greatest blessing in the world)
And here I am, and I gained over 100 lbs since we got married. I wanna (very openly) I wanna take my shirt off in front of her in confidence. Take her to the beach and lay out without a shirt on, etc!

This motivation is just what I was looking for, and just what I need to reach my goal.

I constantly always make jokes about my friends cars...and how I'd drive jeff's s2k...if i fit...or how i'd get into jamie's car and steal it from my garage...if i fit, or ride in dayrons car...if i fit...etc...
I wanna fit god damnit.
And with the help and support of this community....I'm going to fucking do it!
<3

(Typically I would have posted this on a local Chicago forum, but I kinda wanna surprise everyone back home when I go back for thanksgiving...everyone including my dad, who would die to see me healthy)
 
I also got an eye opening, when i went to buy an Fia approved seat. And realized that because im wider than a french fry I had to spend double the money on a seat. I have been a diet since and have lost about 20lbs. Let me know whats up with this method and some details on their methods and price etc?

Congrats dude i feel you on the pain and not fitting in anything.
 
Amen brother. I wish you the best. I've been down this road, and it's not a fun one for sure.

I'll keep numbers out of this. But after I gained a bunch of weight, I finally found out I had thyroid disease. It has been a very hard 5 years, but I'm finally maintaining a healthy weight. I know the 5 years sounds bad, but the first 6 months was when I lost about 80% of the weight.
Even with the medication for my disease, I still rely on supplements and a healthy diet to maintain.

Hats off to you man. You can do this.
 
my hats off to you buddy.

many people know there over weight but many choose not to do anything about it.

last year i was on the same mission no where near as heavy but still the same mission. I lost 80lbs and fell like a new man. and I owe it all to cycling. since your a big guy maybe you should think about riding bike it take's all the load off your knees being a big guy defiantly something you should consider.
 
Good stuff Ahmed! We are all in a race with ourselves to become healthy! Just by eating better I've dropped 15 lbs in the past month or so! No fried foods, fast food, no carbs at night with dinner and drink a shit ton of water all day! Stay away from high sugar drinks! The wife lost almost 50 lbs in the past couple months for medical reasons!

Ahmed I have faith in you dude! Just stick with it and you will do just fine!
 
congrats dude keep up the good work, stay positive, and never give up an you can accomplish anything. :bigthumbu
 
Thank u ALL. Honestly, its motivation like this that gets me riled up!

This is my buddy Ian Nunag. We went to high school together and we always hung out before I moved out here. We worked out at the same gym...only after my wedding I obviously stopped. He didn't.

I doubt I'll get to 168, as I'm a big dude, but once I hit 280...and start toning...I think I'm going to be a happy dude.
 
You and I haven't always seen eye to eye, but think the fact you are taking a step to get healthy in a healthy way is great and I wish you luck.
 
holler!!!! im on the same mission... except i was recently diagnosed with adult adhd, so the adderall prescription has been making me lose weight!

one of the side effects of adderall is appetite suppression, which it has been doing very well. prior to starting the adderall i was at around 325 almost my highest of all time. now that i have been on it for a month im at 298 and almost 4 pant sizes down. my goal is 250 for now, when i hit 280 i will start my old football workout! ahmed man, you are for sure not alone in that worry game, or dont fit game man. it sucks!
 
Good for u buddy justo dont loose any funny

Sounds like you have a great plan going along with an even better support system, which is the biggest thing along with being able to stick to your regiment. Very inspiring and wish u the best in this journey, even tho u don't know me lol.
 
homie I wish you the best and I'm confident a badass like you will make it. I want you to know that reading this has inspired me to do the same... I been meaning to lose weight but I've been lazy and a bit depressed (effects of being fat) and my girl has been a great support as well but she is worried about my health now. I'm at 265lbs and I should be around 180-190lbs... I get winded just doing simple task and it suck, also all the clothes I like are usually not made in 2XL.

I wish you lived closer so u could use my pool if any time.

good luck bro. you got this!
 
Good luck with this broski.

Def a good thing to notice, and def an even greater then to start making the adjustments and steps to a healthier lifestyle.

You can do it. :bigthumbu
 
Thats awesome dude. I just went from 285 to 260 in 2-3 weeks. Low cal diets do the trick BIG time. Keep up the good work and I hope you reach your goal.
 
Awesome, you can overcome anything you put your mind to.
