This is a club that I want nobody in Its 400lb Club

this may or may not help but it has always helped me in times of need.

even if you weigh 400 pounds or 100 some people will always have a bone to pick. some people will always stare. if you have a big nose, or a funny walk, people will make comments. if you have funny hair or carnt speak properly, no matter what some people will make issues. this is beacause PEOPLE LIKE THAT ARE IGNORANT. people like that are insecure. more insecure than people like us, who dont pass judgment on people that are different from us. on this post alone there is a range from 180 to nearly 500 pounds yet we all egg each other on. it takes time but train your mind as you train your body to relish every time some one tries to make you feel little. now when someone looks at me funny or says i weigh to much i smile as tell them i know this already...but do they know they are ugly inside for thinking they are better than you?

the ONLY person that can change it is you. the power comes from within you, not around you. only you can loose the weight. and if someone wants to make a comment, let them. let them be immature and spitful, use their uglyness to help you on your way to inner beauty.

and with regards to love, someone always loves you, you just dont know it yet ;) im sure youll find the answers soon enough.

and one other little thing the doctor told me today...i am 190lbs but i have very high choleseterol (inherited) i am a strict vegetarian and theres only so much i can do to help myself. some of it is in my dna and out of my hands. this frustrated me but the doctor said this

"you cannot change your DNA, but you can change your fate."

remember that next time your excercising and think of all the great things youll be able to do. dont see loosing 3 or 400 pounds as a barrier...see it as a set of steps towards your goal. by the time you loose 50 pounds youll be walking better...another 50 and youll be more active and so on. dont loose sight and dont loose faith in yourself.

i snet a blessing for you today in the wat all the way from thailand! i hope it reaches you in good time :)
 
I know exactly how you guys feel, as a kid I played 8 years of baseball, 3 years of basketball, 2 years of soccer, and 3-4 years of peewee football, and still I question today how did it happen?

As far as I can tell after my parents got divorced when I was around 8 I started to eat a little more and not care... I got chubby not big...but chubby.

Finally around the end of middle school I was getting big and I also had pretty much every insult in the book thrown at me.

In my freshmen year of high school I was waying in at 307 lbs, I still actually had a large group of friends, but I knew people talked behind my back and I was tired of it.

So last year I took initiative and currently I'm weighing in at about 210 lbs, and with a shirt on I look pretty normal, although the biggest thing Im trying to recover from now is not being big...but that "big guy" mentality.

I was big for so long that if I look into a mirror I can only see who I used to be...hell if I didnt like to eat I'd probably be considered anorexic just because of the way I think.

The whole point of my story is...you really can't let those comments get you down or else you will be like me...someone makes a comment...you get upset...you eat more.

I also plan to be a Biomedical Engineer after I get out of college and in 7th grade when I had a particularly bad year of people making really rude harsh comments I think I missed about...10 days that year just because I'd make up some excuse.

So overall you need to be confident in yourself say you can do this, don't do this for anyone else...or even to look good....lord knows even after 100ish lbs down I still have alot of chest fat (Although Im looking into gynocomastia (sp?) surgery because I think I have that) Do it for yourself, and for your health. I may not be able to go sport myself without a shirt on at the beach yet, but I am back into playing football with my pulse at rest being down to 49, my cholestrol is normal, and my blood pressure is good.

And again don't let anyone's comments bring you down, because like someone in here previously commented if you can lose all that weight and you will, you will be an extraordinary person.
 
Well my scale has still not arrived! GRRR! So I took my weight the other day on the gym scale. Unfortunately I don't think its completely accurate. Its kind of small and my stomach hits the stupid height bar and I didnt have anyone to do it with my back against it. It came at around 403. So im going to say its a +-5 error possibility on it. Hoping its -5! Can't wait for my dumb scale to get here, I feel like im not going anywhere cause I can't see it! On a good note though, I really thought I was going to be at 420+ Its been a very long time since I weighed in right, so either I lost weight in the past few months in general. Or i've lost a few pounds since ive started eating healthy and exercising. Hope its the latter!

Just keep going. You don't need the scale to lose weight and hopefully by the time you get back on one you will be out of the club! If not then, soon I bet.
 
Methodman, your story seems to fit mine almost exactly the same. As a young kid I was overweight and people criticized me, even my own brothers constantly added to the criticism. Eventually I got used to the criticism and just ate and did whatever I wanted. By my sophomore year of high school I was 290 to 300 pounds. That is when I got tired of being overweight and decided to change. I changed the way I ate, I started to run, and I began to work out. I am now 195 pounds and, oddly enough, today is my birthday.

The advice I have is that you have to find things that take your mind off of food. I personally love music. I used to listen to music about 6-8 hours a day and i still do. I listen to alot of heavier music(metal) and whenever I put a cd on, it helps me to remember how much ive changed over the past year and half. The people who poke fun at those who are overweight are ignorant to the situation and really have no business saying one damn word.
 
WOOOHOO! Again, I have no idea if this is right. But I did the scale at work and it was down to 397. Which hopefully means im out of the 400 club! :)
 
I just wanted to post that I'm finally out of this dang club! It took a while, and I even ventured slightly into the 500 lb club (now there's a club nobody wants to be in), but I'm now 399 lbs, and officially out of the club.

Peace.
 
Great job

just that you decided to take it into your own hands shows strength, a lot of people just decide that they're meant to be fat and that's it
 
Not sure if that was directed at me, but I've lost over 200 lbs since then (as you can see from my signature). So, I have kept it up ;)
