Just Getting Started

Just relax UB, this needn't get ugly. You got paid a compliment in a weird way. The whole thread was laced with comments of disbelief because you just don't look that heavy.

A pic can't tell us if you're 6' 6" or something and 280 would be possible without us knowing your height if you were extra tall. You have to admit almost everyone had a hard time figuring out why you weren't more 'ball' shaped, you have retained a reasonably nice figure for your weight - most aren't that fortunate, which is a blessing for you because it's that much less work you'll have to do to get that killer body.

I take it you're very young ?? late teens or just over twenty ??

I'm not trying to be mean. I know people have paid compliment, that's why I've stated I was flattered about that. But, if someone is going to insist I'm not that weight, no matter what, it starts to get frusterating. I'm not mad at what Wishes said, I know what my scale says. You take that all away and I'm just like everyone else, trying to lose weight.

I know I'm not exactaly ball shaped. I don't understand that one myself. I've just noticed width wise, I'm smaller, turn me sideways, and I'm not. Like I just mentioned to a friend, if you put me in sweatpants and a t shirt, that conceals nothing. Jeans can hold in fat, sweatpants don't really. I do understand that everyone is saying I look smaller, but if you met me in person, you'd see a world of difference.

I'm 17 actually.
 
wow yeah I agree with everyone else you definetely carry your weight well for being close to 300lbs. I think whats misleading is that you don't have any rolls usually when someone gets up there in weight theres usually some sort of fold like on the lower back or sides a few inches below the arm pit. Heck even your face doesn't even look fat from your little picture next to your name. Don't worry I believe you, I'm just saying why I think people might look and say no way your 283. Well good luck with your weight loss, a few tips, most important number 1 tip....cut soda completely. Second, watch the heavy creams like mayo and salad dressing. Caesar dressing for example has more calories and fat then the salad you'd be putting it on. Kinda defeats the purpose.
 
great age to start! Trust me I get the same thing, ppl look at me and couldn't tell I used to weight alot, even now they'd estimate alot lower than I actually am.. its cuz ppl don't account for muscle, we have large body types, and I guess we are young.. which helps? lol
 
Sorry back again :)
I wasnt saying you were lieing - just querying the scales.

My theory is that you must have the most mammoth boobs man ... *G*

I believe ya, I just kinda got a tad carried away. (Have surgery tomorrow mornin', every teeny tiny thing anyone says to me I'm bout ready to rip their heads off, I'm betting I'm rather nervous, haha)

Lol, that's a good theory, cept I'm only a D. :p I could just be a very oddly shapped, oddly built person?
 
Wow. This is the Weight Loss Forum. We're here for weight loss - not gangbanging someone's weight or scales or photos. Her numbers are totally her business - if she's 180 or 280 or 380 - give her a chance at encouragement and losing weight.

As for discussing where her weight is carried without her asking you to? Come on.

No offense meant to anyone - this just seemed absurd to me.

My biggest goal is not how much I weigh in the end, it's not what I look like, or the approval of others, my biggest goal is to be able to run, to forego driving places and instead go out for a run without getting winded and having to stop.

Good luck! It's a great goal.
 
I believe you weigh that much. I met a girl once who was kinda tall... 5'10" and weighed 200 pounds and she was VERY VERY slim looking. She had dense bones and a lot of muscle and she looked TINY (esp her waist). If I could find a pic of her you wouldn't believe she weighed that much either. Some people are just built different. I get the same comments about myself sometimes. I look like I weigh more like 170 than the 185 that I do. Thank your lucky stars girl! people like us doin't have to lose as much weight as others to see a difference....and I can tell that when you do lose that weight you are going to have a hot bod!
