I don't really understand the pics or what your question is? Clearly the second is photo shopped, I can see the outlines. I wish you luck in loosing the weight though. Its going to be tough, but so worth it in the long run. Take care.
My message for ChaserPrize will always be positive. It's just as time goes on, my tone might change...but the message is still sunny, just clouded by his apparent apathy and inertia.
..............................................Elongating an old photo does not an effort make.
TheIStrat saidYou complain too fucking much. I'm not going to encourage you.
Then why even post here and spoil the....party, as pitiful as it may be. ChaserPrize, I DOUBT you'd look exactly the same if you lost 120 pounds, a grade schooler. What you need is a hell of a hug and I aim to give it to you.
Better than me. If I lost 120 pounds, I'd be a set of vital organs suspended in chemical baths to keep them functional. 30-35 pounds is too little for an adult any other way.
You would find a new sence of self, You would likely feel a whole lot better, You will wish you had done it sooner, You will probably be bitter that you let yourself go in the first place, Your overall health will be improved, You will be able to find clothes that are more flattering, You will feel at home in your own skin,
But... if you go out setting lofty goals like losing 120lbs you will fail, try setting smaller goals in 10lb units max. Trust me I have been there I have done that.
I have lost more than 150lbs at this point and at over 380lbs I would only get discouraged when I thought how much weight I had to lose. I changed my thought pattern to set smaller goals which was less discouraging!
By the way you will not look like your second photoshopped image if you lose 120lbs I am sure you will look much better.
Don't get discouraged, but I will tell you complaining will get you no where. the only way to be successful is to do something that pushes you toward your goal.
MSUBioNerd saidBetter than me. If I lost 120 pounds, I'd be a set of vital organs suspended in chemical baths to keep them functional. 30-35 pounds is too little for an adult any other way.
I've got dibs on your brain in a jar. I'll be able to retire my calculator...and dictionary.
danielryan saidi think we should all be a bit more encouraging instead of being so negative!
i don't know your story, but good luck on your journey to lose that 120 lbs!
sure if this was his first post about his weight, he has numerous pity threads about his weight and refuses to make the change in his life to actually lose it.
Depends which part of the many pounds of you you want to lose. You could lose the muscle, and turn into a big bowl of jelly. I get those patients. They couldn't move if the house was on fire and the ceiling was coming down on top ot them.
You could lose the fat, instead. Then you might live, assuming your liver and heart have't already suffered an insury that will kill you.
What were you thinking, when you decided to get that big? What was the lifelong goal, the thing they would carve into your tombstone?.
We all know the answer....he just couldn't stop his digits from ramming more calories down his fat ass any more than he can get up and get moving. He's been whining about it for nearly 3 years now, and accomplished nothing. It's always the same thing...a circus.

his major interest is attention, not fitness
Well that I was not really aware of! so in that case I would say show and prove! don't just fantasize! go out and do it!
Honestly this is like talking about addiction with a bunch of teetotallers.
It's obvious the problem is getting up and doing the actual work. So let's all talk about how good it feels to finish and how people look at you differently after a few months of consistent exercise.
Look, having type 1 diabetes aint an f'n cakewalk my friend, and I didn't do a damn' thing to get it. But I'm not going to complain ad nauseam about how I wish my pancreas would work, or how I'm sick of giving myself shots and checking my blood glucose levels.. But that's my lot in life, and I have to own the situation and take responsibility for my life and my body. It is an awesome feeling to take ownership of your health, to challenge yourself and to know that little by little you are improving your health and your appearance. So, if you don't mind me saying, get the heck outside and go for a walk, work up a sweat, rinse, and repeat.. Slowly and by degrees (and pretty much painlessly) you will begin to lose weight and you will be on your way to a healthier you.
barriehomeboy said What were you thinking, when you decided to get that big?
It was probably the only way I knew how to deal with disgusting people who felt compelled to ask questions like that! Instead of doing something productive like punching them in the mouth, I must have felt I deserved to be spoken to that way and ate to deal with my emotions.
I have a best friend that is on the large size. A couple years ago he got serious and just by watching what he ate and nutrition he lost probably 150-200 lbs. He looked great!!! Even though he was still a little big he was going to bars, picking up guys, he is a very good looking guy.
Dont you know he piled the weight back on and even more!! But just the other day he told me he had lost 40 lbs! I said wow! how are you doing it, he said "by not eating like a fucking pig" take it as you want...
we all have to do this for ourselves. Its nice to have others approval or advice for support but when it all boils down to it, no ones opinion on here should really give a shit to you....you have to do it for yourself...until that happens you will never be happy.

Until you become responsible for yourself, and take positive action, you'll be the same miserable, projecting, person that you've been here for the past three years.
Instead of lashing out at others, and making stupid-ass posts like this one, you need to be helping yourself by walking, by changing your behavior towards yourself, and others, and taking yourself in a positive direction. You have more excuses than Congress for your ongoing, self-perpetuated, failure. You're quick to plead the victim, and then continue in your self-deconstructive behavior. Countless folks have reached out to you, and, truth be told, you enjoy being a fat-ass, and you're an attention whore, rather than someone who wants to start a wellness programs. You give fat-asses a bad name. Until you change; until you take action; you'll be that miserable person you've been for SO LONG.
The questions posed to you by barriehomeboy was neither disgusting, nor insensitive. Regular people look in the mirror when they get an extra five or ten pounds and take action. Being a fat ass isn't something that happens overnight. How was it you were able to continue for so long in your self-destructive behavior was a VERY INSIGHTFUL question by barrhiehomeboy. You just used it as an excuse to lash out. It wasn't disgusting. The question was asked because folks don't understand how you could continue to be so self-destructive. With regular people, that just doesn't happen.
You LIKE being miserable. You LIKE being angry at others about a problem of your OWN creation. You LIKE things as they are.
Until you address your mental health; attitude, even if you lose 120 pounds, you'll still have all those issues. What you need is a shrink.
'' all you need is a shrink Or just be strong enough to sort yourself out. Use of psychologists for the treatment of cases such as that I feel is totally unnecessary. Obesity isnt a mental illness, its just a weakness in character because individuals cant say NO to themselfs. if you want to be successful at any thing you must want to do it yourself and realize that you have to do it yourself. When you want to do it yourself you will do it. Its so simple. Just do it and stop talking about it. Also imagining what the results COULD be like is worthless. I read on a tread here bfor an amaizng saying '' Plan plans, not results''. And no, i really amnt a prick,- its just life, and the way it works.
UrsaMajor saidWhat a great image of Kali Ma, and how appropriate.
GuiltyGear said..................................
Actually, that's Durga Maa. Technically all the goddesses are just different avatars of the same deity, but they have different purposes. Durga is sort of like the redeemer (often in Indian stories/movies about women who are battered or downtrodden and then revolt against the repressive males, the protagonist is compared to Durga). If it were Kali she'd probably be really dark and standing atop Shiva's body...
It seems obvious you have major self-esteem problems. I think you start these forums because you need people to tell you how bad you are. It's a way of punishing yourself because you hate yourself so much. I'm not going to criticize you or call you names. I do know how hard it is to live a good life and realize goals and dreams when self-hate drags you down. I also know it takes much hard work to overcome that. Please, consider counseling. If paying for it is a problem, there is very likely a community mental health center near you who will charge you based on your income. I believe what you must deal with first is what's going on in your head. I believe you can lose the weight but it won't happen until you feel you deserve it. Please feel free to email me privately if you need to share you feelings with someone who will not judge you or make hurtful remarks.
Its might not be easy to start, but it is great once you get rid of rid. I have lost a lot of weight, from being the fat kid of the school, to a fit runner. Hope you get on it soon. Best of luck.
Thanks for noticing and aknowledging me. I have giving my pointers to onmywaytome in this thread and now all I can do is hope he has the appropriate motivation within to drive him to lose the weight and truly be happy with himself.
Mepark saidWhy the fuck are so many people on here assholes. Can you say anything else to the guy besides insulting him?
I think it is because most of the people cannot fathom what it is like to be in the same situation as OnTheWayToMe. It is easy to say why dont you just go exercise when you are already fit, but when you are so out of shape and have what looks to be an unimaginable amount of weight to lose it is hard to get/stay motivated.
Not to mention the gay community as a general rule of thumb is not very accepting of large people... especially when it is the gay jock or twink portion of the community... which is the majority of the people on this site who are insulting him. It is important to remember that there is no body fat requirement to register for this community and everyone has to start somewhere we should all work to help each other achieve our goals.
Mepark saidWhy the fuck are so many people on here assholes. Can you say anything else to the guy besides insulting him?
Many individuals here are much harsher with this particular poster than they are with others. OnTheWayToMe is at least his third incarnation on this site; previous versions existed as ChasersPrize and NoNameGuy. He has shown a repetitive pattern of soliciting advice on how to lose weight for years now, and has consistently ignored that advice which does not fit with what he wants to hear. He has complained about advice from those who have never been overweight because they don't know what it's like, and from those who have lost weight because they shouldn't be lording their success. He has disparaged the slow and steady route as not being fast enough, while ignoring the repeated explanations that his desired speed of weight loss is unhealthy and unsustainable and will not lead to the long-term goals he wants...and as a result, still has a lot of weight to lose well past the point where if he had done a slow-and-steady loss he would have achieved his desired size. Some of those who are harsh with regards to him have always been so; others have changed after seeing the previous efforts to help be ignored.
For the record, a few of his previous threads that I think give some context to people's responses, as well as showing that there have been positive reactions to him in the past. It's a pretty small subset of his previous postings, but given his long history of deleting his account and changing his name, people who are relatively new to this site wouldn't really have another way of knowing this:

I'm disappointed in you guys. His posting history doesn't give anyone the right to insult him. If Chaser's continued negative energy and incessant complaining annoys you, ignore him. There are people who ruin this place for me, too. I just block them.
I mean actually taking the time to compile ten of his past threads.... just... wow!!!!!
Mepark saidWhy the fuck are so many people on here assholes. Can you say anything else to the guy besides insulting him?
I agree, some of you are being mean. I think the justification for it, that ChaserPrize has yet to reach his goals or even act on them, ARE WEAK! Since when do we beat someone down just because they haven't hit the pivotal point yet? This is a support forum so are we deciding worth for that support now?Everyone is different after all and maybe every time Chaser needs to hear positivity, if you'd just give it to him, he might finally build up to that breakthrough. Beating him down wasn't right the first time he reached out (and I know some asshole did) and it's still not right whatever installment this is.
Too all of the people beating the man down, you suck and naturally, I've got hate metal for that, from ChaserPrize to you.
................................... "Hey what's the matter with you?!! Whatcha trying to do?!! I'm rackin my brain, but I don't get it!! Did I ever hurt you in any way? If I did then hear my apology--fuck you! I'd give anything to batter you down...all the way to six feet under!
Why on earth should I stop? Until I see your fucking ass drop? Mind your own business and leave mine alone!! Take a look at the real world for a sec!! It's a hell for heroes and heaven for fools, which makes you the luckiest bastards on the earth!!
In the prejudiced mind you narrow yourself in, I'm the servant while you're the king!! Til' tomorrow is the better day to be. You're better off dead than fucking with me! What if there ain't no tomorrow? Let me tell ya, there wasn't one today!"

I believe the list was for the people unfamiliar with OTWTM.
But, you are right. I haven't used the block button nearly enough.
The list was awful, comparable to a mother hanging her kid's pissy sheets where his friends can see. I never knew MSUBioNerd had such sadistic tendencies. ...................................................

Isn't Durga supposed to be red?
And ya, Kali's main defining trait is very dark skin. Kali/Kala means 'black' after all.

OnTheWayToMe said[quote]What a wingnut. And slow and steady is two pounds per week. Over the course of about three months, that's nearly twenty-five pounds. Pretty decent.
Not decent enough[/quote]
It is universally accepted that losing 1-2 pounds per week is a healthy rate and will incorporate dietary changes as well as exercise that will become habitual and will eventually lead to a sustained healthy weight because you haven't shocked your body.
You say not decent enough? WTF? What, did you expect to lose 25 pounds in a week? Getting to the condition you are at now didn't happen last week. It has been the result of choices you have made everyday of your conscious life.
If you are seriously bitching that 1-2 pounds loss per week isn't good enough, then you know what... go fuck off then and continue making the bad choices in life that have gotten you to your current weight.
But do know that it is widely accepted and clinically proven and recommended by dietitians that a 1-2 pound loss per week is best and the most healthy.
But after reading your "Not decent enough" crap. It's clear you just want pity. Well you will get none from me. In fact, if an airline ever makes you buy a second seat (because clearly with your attitude, it's in your future if not already present) I will fully commend the airline for making you buy a second seat because I refuse to share my seat with people like you and then having them look at me like I'm the asshole!

It's not good enough. My goal is 150 pounds in six months.
You are so lost! That is totally unattainable and unrealistic for you let alone anyone else! You have to start small! There is no way for you to meet that goal without devoting six months to that. That means 8 hours a day every day with a dietitian and a personal trainer as well as constant check ups by a doctor.
and this is the most important thing so listen up: YOU WILL NEVER REACH THAT GOAL IN THAT TIME FRAME WITHOUT DOING DAMAGE TO YOUR BODY WITHOUT A TEAM ASSISTING YOU.
And since there generally is a correlation (I know I'll catch crap for this one) with people who are in your condition, they often lack the drive AND capital and therefore it is almost a certainty that you will not be able to devote the time you need to do that because you have a job and have bills to pay.
But here's step one... GET OFF THE INTERNET! PROVE US ALL WRONG AND START WORKING IT OFF RIGHT NOW! Spending time bogarting the internet doesn't burn enough calories to run a calorie deficit to even lose an ounce! (or at least get off this site! You have a wealth of advice and knowledge here and you refuse to take it so do us a favor... get off this site!)
Otherwise, get on the Biggest Loser! (something tells me you'd be the 1st guy to get eliminated with your attitude and end up like that one contestant a few years back who from the time he entered the show to the finale only lost 12 pounds...)
I may be sounding harsh but it's the truth. Losing and gaining weight is hard work! Hard work spent on the pavement, on the track, or lifting at the gym or just doing squats, crunches or pushups in the living room or the back yard and changing the way you eat entirely. Only you have the power to accomplish your goal but hard work must be done in order to reach that goal.
Nowhere does hard work include the internet except for seeking advice (which can be done at your local YMCA or health clinic) and posting before, during (for encouragement) and after pictures! No amount of chatting on the net or photoshopping will change your situation, only hard work will.
I'm not trying to be mean, just calling it like I see it and telling you like a man. If you really intend to do 150 in 6, you need to get off the internet because this is a stationary activity and does squat for your goal. You need to see a dietitian and a trainer. If you try it on your own, you could fuck your body up even more than it already is and could suffer a severe injury such as a heart attack and you don't want that!

I'm on meds for hypertension so a heart attack is highly unlikely.
Hard work? Not really! I've lost about half that in 4 months time. Problem comes when you lose focus despite your best efforts. Which, of course, can happen regardless of how fast you're losing.
Slow and steady wins the race? Tell that to someone who isn't running out of time.
I think losing 120 pounds is a great goal to have. Whether it is a pound a week, or two a week, change occurs much slower than we want, so your impatience is totally justified. I'm wishing you success in all your goals.
I'm not mean. I am just fed up w/ guys whining about situations they can control, but instead of using their energy for change - they use it to complain.
It's time to put on your big boy pants and grow up.

Well PETA does have info on their webpage if you want to go vegetarian... sorry PETA, I love a bloody steak too much...
Would someone please put PETA out of its misery???! Before that happens, though, maybe they can explain why, for an animal loving organization, they kill more animals in their shelter than anyone else? They're so full of it.
As for the billboard, meat does not make you fat. I eat a lot of it and I'm far from fat. Save the whales? Stop eating all the sugars, grains, and processed foods (staples of the vegetarian diet! soy everything!). Personally, I've never known a truly healthy vegetarian. I have several vegetarian friends. They've always got a touch of this or that, they don't feel as strong, have mineral deficiencies, etc. And every single vegetarian I've known who has gone back to eating meat says he or she feels stronger and healthier now.

See, this is the precise moment where you lose all sympathy because there was an implicit complaint in your original post - the implicit complaint being that even if you worked hard to lose a bunch of weight, you'd still look overweight, which makes the whole thing seem hopeless/fruitless/unconquerable to you. But rather than own the fact that you were making a complaint, you're now pulling a "poor me," "everyone gangs up on me for no reason" card. In these forums, you show no willingness to own up to your behavior and your commitment to staying stuck. It's a lose/lose situation - you stay committed to your misery and then when people call you out on it, you act all scandalized like you have no idea where it's coming from. Which of course makes me an asshole for even bothering to write this since you have shown time and time again that you don't really want any kind of real, honest feedback.

People always react negatively to me on here regardless of what I post so what's your point?

It really breaks my heart to see people who are clearly suffering and unhappy with themselves. I think most people on here react the way they do because they just get frustrated that your not making changes in the right direction to solve your weight problem. If you are, then I commend you. People just don't respect others who don't respect themselves. I can guarantee if you posted actual accomplishments and change, you would receive a ton of positive feedback.
If your embarrassed or intimidated by joining a gym, start working out at home. Do 10 push ups, then work your way to 20, and so on. Put on your headphones and walk around the block or your local nature trail, its very therapeutic.
I know how much of a mind fuck it is to be overweight, I was a fat kid. Thanks mom! haha. But it just finally clicked that I wasn't happy and I had to change it, no matter how long it took. I pray it will finally click with you and you will find your way again.
ViktorRolf saidTHis forum is still going on? I wonder how much weight uv lose since uv started fantisizing about looseing weight with photoshop
Wow! Another "I'm really not a prick" post.
Yeah,, maby im a prick to u, but onlu cos i dont value or respect ur attitue to doing stuff. . You do know that this is a health and fitness sorta website where big dudes like are welcome come too get advice off some ppl and stuff, so if all u are gonna do is 'dream' about looking like some one like telford or deirks and not actually DO anything bout it expect the aminosity man. Like what are u hoping for? Sympathy and kind words to make u losee weight? It dont work like that. It Takes PHYSICAL AND MENTAL effort.

Nothing is hotter than a well articulated point... your post actually got me excited.
There is a whole lot of lazy that comes with being severely overweight. There is a lot that you could be doing to burn off a lot of fat and weight at your size. Low intensity excercise and daily walks would greatly improve your health and well being. If my 59 year old grandmother can lose 100 pounds by putting in just a little bit of effort, I know that you can too. If you want to extend your life and improve your health, you will put in the effort.
I had Lap-band surgery two years ago and have lost 80 lbs. I would highly recommend it. It literally saved my life. I went from 6 drugs a day for cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart rate reduction meds, triglycerides, type 2 diabetes etc. Hell I even had sleep apnea to the point I would fall asleep driving my car in the middle of the day. ED drugs were part of my regiment as well. Within six months I was no meds whatsoever.
I am healthier than I have ever been. Look into it your insurance company may pay for it. Mine did not. It cost me $17,000.
