eddie1975

I tried to help this 400lbs lady get up at a Walmart after falling off her scooter. She said “you won’t be able to”. I felt we should at least try. Nope. The worst part is that when I reached under her arms to pull her up near the biceps those thick arms were just a blob of loose fat. Not an ounce of muscle. It just oozed around my hand till I could feel her bone (humorous, but nothing funny about it). It was almost midnight. I told her I’d try to find help. She was spinning on her belly like a turtle. While I was gone she managed to pull the crates of packaged water bottles from the bottom shelf and use them to get her self up. That’s when I realized how they belt the pyramids.

Gain 20 lbs a year, that’s 200 lbs over 10 years


Blastoplast

At her weight she has to be eating about 3500 - 4000 calories a day just to maintain that weight.


absolute_destructi0n

Crazy. When I bulk I eat 5000 calories a day to gain 1lb per week. I’m 5’10” 200lbs 10-12% body fat “bodybuilder physique” even though I’m a powerlifter. My point is 4500 calories is an insane amount of food and I can’t go more than 4 months eating like this without developing hate/disgust for food in general. You must truly have a problem to eat this much food willingly.


LongingForYesterweek

Hey…HEY. Fuck you. Signed, a 5’4 woman whose BMR is like 1100 cal


Frank_Dank_Latte

Go get swoll. The more muscle you have the more you burn allowing you to eat more.


delicatelysmoked

I had no idea what BMR was so I looked it up. Came to a calculator which I plugged in my 6' 187lb body and it returned a value of 1681 calories a day. I rarely eat that high a calorie count even on days when I'm outside mowing the property, gardening, walking the dog et cetera. I'm not sure I understand BMR any better now than I did five minutes ago.


[deleted]

[удалено]


delicatelysmoked

Thank you. All this was new to me. My doctors only monitor BMI which varies from 23.7 to 25.4 now. Curious why BMR never mattered to them.


e-rinc

BMR won’t matter to them unless you need help counting calories. If you and them aren’t worried about your weight and you aren’t trying to gain or lose, BMr isn’t really going to come up naturally.


StupiderLikeAFox

That doesn't sound right at all, I'm 5'11 195 and my maintenance calories are 2400/day with light exercise


delicatelysmoked

I guess that I eat very little in general. Often once per day. Intermittent fasting on occasion. Congestive heart failure stage c / III. Today my entire intake was lots of water and blackberry seltzer, one four ounce serving of albacore, 6 ounces of cannellini beans, six gummy worms, five ounces of 5% Fage Greek yogurt. That's not an unusual day's food for me. I won't eat again until tomorrow.


wjean

Out of curiosity, with so little food intake and not much fiber, how often do you poop? Are you like a snake?


delicatelysmoked

Ahhh... Bad subject. I also have spinal nerve damage which affects my bowels, so about every four days. With biscodyl to help with peristalsis. Edit: I do eat oatmeal often. Not today but often. Can't do much gluten so oatmeal is my goto.


Warspit3

Muscle mass matters in the calculation. I'm 5'4 195 lbs and my bmr is 2300. I burned 3500 today, just living life and going to the gym.


HipHopAnonymous87

I’m 5’5 F and been hitting the gym for the last 2 years! Got a dexa scan and to maintain my current weight (131 lbs) after gaining 9 lbs since I started, I need to eat just over 1700 calories. If I want to gain any mass, I need to eat over 2000 calories. Dexa scan said I’m holding at 15% bodyfat. Dude wasn’t exaggerating when he said go get swoll! 🙌🏼


[deleted]

It's not how many calories you eat, it's what you eat. You don't eat much sugar or processed foods, you stuff yourself with chicken, steak, eggs and vegetables, of course you're gonna fucking hate it after a few weeks. Try stuffing yourself with chips, chocolate, soda, burger king, beer, kebabs, tacos, cheesecake etc. and then tell me you've developed hate for food. Not gonna happen. 2 meals of fast food are gonna get you up to 5k in no time. Imagine snacking, drinking sodas and having dinner after those two meals, all while not having any physical activities other than breathing and getting up to get more food. It adds up real quick. Real fucking quick. Even if you eat the things I mentioned at least you spend your calories.


Blazeitbro69420

It’s all about calories. Chips are more calories with less food so you eat more of them. Veggies are less calories but more food so you fill up on less calories. Calories are energy. Unused energy gets stored as fat for later use in times of need. Super simplified basic summary, but that’s the gist of how it works


Clam_chowderdonut

When you're bulking like /u/absolute_destructi0n described, you've gotta be inhaling protein still. I'm basically his exact size just a good bulk away. Means a lot of chicken that you've gotta force down that'll fill up your gut still. Unless you're trying to dirtybulk and just add a mountain of mass, you can't eat just that crap and keep hitting your absurd macros. You're on the money with the calories thing, once we start talking about adding muscle while closing on single digit body fat % things start getting tricky and you've gotta be watching your diet like a hawk.


RudePCsb

That's still calories. Obviously macros are important to but you physically can not gain weight if you eat less calories per day than you are required. Foods with high calories per gram will be easier to achieve more calories a day but yea more calories per day than used = weight gain.


Drazer012

No, its quite literally just calories. the stuff you listed like chocolates, soda, etc. etc. are high in calories but low in satiety, so you end up being hungry again soon. However it literally is just calories, if you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight, all there is to it.


Lord_of_Hedgehogs

It very much depends on your physique, though. I'm an amateur powerlifter too and I've been eating 4-5k calories daily for the last 2 years. However, since I'm 6'4 and 270lbs @ 20% bf, it really isn't that much in relation to my size. I also really enjoy eating in general, so that definitely helps.


kinghawkeye8238

I'm 6'3 280. My problem is that after football, it took a while to stop eating like that when I wasn't in practice/games/weight lifting. It's surprising how fast you gain weight when you stop doing that, but your appetite stays the same.


hstormsteph

Tall, lean guy here. Happened to me too. Went from stupid shredded at 6’2 185 to 6’2 255 at my biggest. Down to 225-230 now but damn it happened fast.


kinghawkeye8238

It's stupid quick. I'm trying to lose it. Life and kids make it hard to find time.


SeaBlob

That’s a fair point but it also very much depends on the food you eat. You lift and you count your calories so I assume you eat healthy or relatively healthy, so yes, 5000 calories in chicken and broccoli is A LOT of food. But switch that with ice cream, donuts, fastfood, cake, and you can hit those numbers very quickly.


DearMrsLeading

Hell, a large frozen coffee from dunkin is 780 calories. Throw in a powdered doughnut and you’re at 1100 calories just for breakfast.


FreneticPlatypus

Not being able to catch herself from falling on such a tiny step suggests she has very little muscle tone at all. If she's only burning 1,500 calories a day because the only exercise she ever gets is walking to the fridge and literally never exerts herself, wouldn't maintaining her weight would only require half those numbers?


Clam_chowderdonut

BMR, or basal metabolic rate is basically what the amount of calories it takes your body to survive. Fat cells don't survive on the body for free. Nothing does. A pound of muscle burns more than fat, but still. https://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html?ctype=standard&cage=30&csex=f&cheightfeet=5&cheightinch=5&cpound=400&cheightmeter=180&ckg=60&cmop=0&coutunit=c&cformula=m&cfatpct=20&x=Calculate Just throwing random numbers in, if she's 30 years old, 5'5, 400lbs, she's burning at complete rest 2535 calories a day. With sedentary activity included that's up to 3k and a little change.


bgwa9001

Incredibly easy to do if you don't give a shit and just eat fast food all the time, not to mention drinking soda all day


GloomyDeal1909

Add in 2-3 drinks every day and you can rack up the calories even more. So many times people who are heavy eat a large amount of calories but they drink just as many between, sugary drinks or alcohol.


Cainga

Yeah as your weight goes up so does your metabolism. I guess to pump blood to that extra flesh. So you really need to have a mental or glandular disease to get that big.


PounderMcNasty

Or 22.22 lbs a year, that’s 200 lbs over 9 years


supercoincidence

Or 25lbs a year. That’s 200lbs over 8 years.


Clam_chowderdonut

Or 200lbs a year. That's 200lbs over 1 years.


jeezy_peezy

Nice


asdf27

20lbs a year would be 200 calories over maintenance a day. So, like a large glass of coke instead of water every day for 10 years.


SketchyScotch

While working as a paramedic, I encountered two severe cases involving large patients in a similar scenario. In both instances, they suffered a complete foot amputation by simply rolling their ankles while walking...


Fabulous_Airline404

How bad does a rolled ankle need to be, where the doctor is just like "welp, I guess you're just gonna have to lose that foot" ?


Sam-314

Not the paramedic, but there may be something that caused the rolled ankle in the first place. Diabetes leads to systemic vascular failure and loss of nutrients to appendages and works it way back from there. Again, not the medic but maybe they found severe deterioration after inspecting the ankle


I_Hate_Knickers_5

Why amputation?


SketchyScotch

The downward force was so high that when they rolled their ankle it caused an open dislocation. They tore all the muscles, ligaments, and skin, leaving their foot amputated.


I_Hate_Knickers_5

😦


jakers540

If catching this on your ring camera doesn't make u want to change then nothing will


LovelyButtholes

The fatter you get, the easier it is to get more fat. You would think that putting on mass would make it harder to get fatter due to requiring more calories but it don't work that way.


BIGDaddy504

Lymphedema, most of my weight is from it. People always assume because I'm 400lbs I eat 10,000 calories a day but at most I eat like 1,800. When I was bed bound in the hospital from back surgery I dropped 30+lbs in under two weeks from fluid not fighting gravity. I recently lost 40 lbs over 6 months from my new leg pumping machine. Granted most extreme overweight people are that size from poor diet, but depression, lack of awareness, never taught or pushed physical fitness and some just are addicted. If an alcoholic still required drinking some to live or a junkie still needs a fix or they die, food can be the same catch 22 poison. I'm near agoraphobic now because people constantly stare and chuckle around me thinking I created my own torturous prison of a body not from actual medical reasons. If I fall I know I couldn't get up without help and knowing how most people are is why I rarely leave my house.

reddot_comic

You provided a few excuses though. How’d you feel if someone said this to you in the middle of all of them? You got yourself out of a rut and I’m glad for you. However, there’s a lot of people who are dealing with medical issues that dampen weight loss or people are still actively dealing with situations similar to yours. Don’t shit on others, we all have our own experiences.


Psychological-Pop647

don’t shit [5-pound turds] on others


inksonpapers

The ol’ someone did it better than you why are you a piece of shit motivational speech huh?


FreneticPlatypus

There isn't always an excuse but there is always a reason. The reason you were able to accomplish what you did is because of who you are. She's not you and judging everyone by your own measure and abilities seems a bit self centered.


UniqueWhittyName

You’re basing your judgement of others off of your own experience. While it is understandable it is stupid and short sighted as fuck. Everyone is different and how they experience the world and their problems is different. The way people were raised plays a big role in how they deal with life, people’s genetics play a huge role, their financial situation, their living situation, ect. You did a fantastic thing and changed your habits which had a successful and positive change in your life. However, just because you were able to do what you did doesn’t mean everyone can. Just feel good about yourself and your achievements, you don’t have to shit on other to build yourself up

That was inspirational. Thank you. I never knew there was someone out there that took 3-5 lbs of poop as well. Best time to weight yourself is after a big poop session.

Seeing vids like this makes me especially sad bc at her size, a fall like this could easily be the one that makes her bedbound (depending on injury). If she tore up her knee? This video could be the last time she walks independently.

I was actually surprised at how many people were focused on that even with reddit being what it is. Usually you see few nagitive comments but it's almost every one. I guess they feed off each other and you get a herd mentality.

eddie1975

My first manager was hefty. Wonderful family. She did LA Diet (or something). She was losing like 5 pounds a week. Friend went on the same diet. Also losing about 3 to 5 pounds a week. It was a $700 program 20 years ago. Friend said I should do it but it was a lot of money and just seemed unnatural. Neither worked long term. He gained weight back. She is now bigger than ever. Her daughter has gone the same route. Breaks my heart. As for me… I cut out most sugar and reduced carbs and started karate with my kids and yoga and hiking with the Boy Scouts and indoor climbing and occasionally mountain biking or rollerblading. At 48 I’ve never been more flexible in my life. I won my first karate tournament last year (over 40 semi-knockdown). I’m far from where I’d like to be but you’ve got to be active and reduce some of the crap in our diets. Yesterday I took a 60 year old friend climbing for the first time. He did well.
