SUCCESS STORIES!

I'm male, 5'5", I used to be the definition of fat ronery nerd. My heaviest was 206, and I had no muscle underneath it - 8 pound dumbbells were my starting 1RM for curling when I was 17.

Think about that. I couldn't lift more than fucking 8 pounds in each hand. I was probably over 40% BF.

Fast forward to age 21. I curl 30's for reps, and once I get my lordorsis sorted out and get into physiotherapy for my back (my stomach was so massive it sloped my spine forward), I'm gonna do SQUATZ

I'm now 175 pounds, at 20.2% body fat. I'll be 160 in a month or two :)

But the biggest change has been my mindset. Before, I hated going outside. I was nearly completely nocturnal, and I was pale like a fucking vampire. I laughed at exercise, because I hated to sweat and thought the people who exercised were just stupid jocks. These thoughts were bred into me by my fat, lazy slob mother, who I have excised from my life and I have never been happier since.

It's been a long road. But those of you who have made it, you're part of an elite club. Every fattie cries at nights and makes resolutions saying that TOMMOROW WILL BE THE START OF A NEW ERA FOR ME and they go back to spooning cookie dough between their lardy cheeks. But for those who have actually lost the weight, congradulations: fatties will never know what climbing this mountain was like, and you can scream from the top of it without having to worry. They can't climb up and eat you.

Good job! Really, the biggest hurdle is the change of mindset. Get your spine sorted out, so you can do even more. Keep up the good work!

Are you shy? Because that's my problem with girls right now as well. My body is good now, but my social skills are still retarded from missing out on all of those critical years of high school development.

I've been reading various PUA books, but so far my approaches haven't worked. :\

Seriously, you don't learn shit in high school that you can't learn in your 20s. Go out to social events. Start stupid conversations about fuckall. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE LEARNED SOCIAL SKILLS.

Congrats on losing all the fat though, I can't imagine what 206 must have felt like on a 5'5" frame.

Lost 40 pounds. It was pretty sweet. Nothing makes you feel more awesome than having someone tell you "you're hot" after a lifetime of not hearing it.

Unfortunately, I got careless and let the invincible mentality sink in, and gained back around 10 pounds.

I've still got about 35 pounds to go before I'll reach a point where I'll be satisfied, but I'm working at that now, simply because I want to do everything I can and not have any regrets.

No, i'm not shy. I have lots of friends, in fact. It's just the fact that i don't want an extremely ugly girl, because after all those years of working i believe i deserve better, i don't approach the extremely hot ones because i know they want someone with a better car/more money/better job etc, and the ones i really like have boyfriends or friendzone me. The only girlfriend i had, she practically attacked me, and we 'dated' for like 5 days. No sex. Have sex with prostitutes ever since.

I don't really care though. I had sex like 10 times, all with prostitutes, and i thought it was kinda lame. Maybe it's because i'm an enormous fetishist though. Or gay.

OP here.

My knees and joints were under terrible strain. It hurt to walk, couldn't run, couldn't do a pushup. I also suffered vein damage to my extremities (feet, hands). Severe sleep apnea. Terrible back pain. My circulation was so poor that I was cold all the time because there was so much fat to pump blood through my heart couldn't handle it and my resting heart rate was abnormally high because of it. I would wake up at night because my legs went completely numb. Imagine not being able to feel your legs upon waking up. So I'd stand up and fall onto the floor, writhing in pain from pins and needles when the blood finally flowed back into my legs.

Yeah... all those disappeared with hard exercise and weight loss. It was a nightmare in the beginning though... imagine trying to exert yourself for exercise when simply laying down and sleeping was straining.

The neat thing about weight loss is that it can reveal a lot about the people around you. I've lost a bunch of friends because when I started weighing significantly less than them, they got angry at me and started trying to nitpick at anything I did. 4chan is definitely not an exception. The wieners who are trying to detract from other people's accomplishments do so out of insecurity and misery.

I do appreciate those of you who have given me big-ups. /fit/ is not the easiest trolled board on 4chan. In fact, it's hardest board to troll on 4chan, because people here are determined to better themselves and each other. We're here to help or be helped.

tl;dr This isn't /b/, and we're teaching them why.

This is the kind of self-loathing bullshit I hate to hear from people who have lost weight.

Losing weight because you hate yourself turns you into a shallow faggot who defines their self-worth on their fitness level alone. Lose weight because you LOVE yourself, because you respect yourself too much to allow the destruction of your body to continue. There's too many faggots on /fit/ with extremely transparent superiority complexes.

Nice attempt trying to put words in my mouth. I do not value myself exclusively based on how lean or muscular I am. It's just part of my value, how overcoming this problem of mine has truly added character in and of itself. Having a great body is just a really nice added bonus. The best thing about losing the weight, more than simply getting fat off, is knowing that I've learned the self-control and discipline to allow me to expand my success to other areas in my life. All of you guys who have done it out there know exactly what I'm talking about.

I do, however, know that I have accomplished something great. And other people have accomplished it as well. A lot of other people. :) They're special, because they won where the majority lost.

Most people just stay fat and make excuses about it. This is why it's something worth pointing out. Of course, naturally, people who have not accomplished this or have similar accomplishments are going to get angry and rail against it because it's easier and more convenient than going out and accomplishing it themselves.

So do I have a superiority complex? It isn't a 'complex'; I *know* I'm superior to fat people, because I have evidence that I can control myself and they cannot. This is why people instinctively treat fat people as inferiors; because whether they consciously know it or not, their corpulence is evidence of their inability to delay gratification.

Also, if you want to talk about extremely transparent complexes, your jealousy might be a great place to start.

Good job OP. I wasn't really terribly fat but I was 5'11'' 180lbs. It just gave me bitch tits and a gut. I could hide it with clothes. I just woke up one day and was like fuck this, I refuse to be a weakling. I had some 10lb weights to work out with and did it until my arms hurt. The soreness felt fantastic to me. Later I googled info and learned about the BMR, diets, and exercise and have been steadily losing weight with the help of /fit/ ever since.

I'm now down to 165lbs and I built plenty of muscle. I've moved way past my original ignorant attempt, but it was what got me started.

I'm feel great being checked out by chicks at my college, even though I'm still too lame to talk to any girl I don't know. I get laid plenty at parties now though.

My doctor told me. If your gut is big and heavy and your core muscles are weak, the weight of the blubber will pull your spine forward so it slopes into a 'S' shape. If you're worried you might have it, go see a doctor or a physiotherapist.

I'm in poor shape, personally, and reading your thread, I was thinking, "Way to go, man, maybe I can do that too" until I hit the last few sentences, and my thoughts immediately returned to "Why fucking bother. People who used to be like me and got fit are all apparently pricks."

You're better able to control yourself than they are, but you just proved that you're a colossal prick for thinking that any person is your inferior merely because they're out of shape. That's not what getting fit is about. I hope you get fat again.

I was like 5' 7 and 235 with world of warcraft muscle (so little that i made people around me weaker) I really started working out around the beginning of this past summer,and now i'm like 5' 8 and 160-ish with not much fat.

If you wake up one day and are able to change human nature, then cool. Until then though, you can whine all you like about morality, but the truth is that people are treated based on how they look, and if you're fat you get treated like shit. No matter how much you try to compensate for it, you're never going to be able to change the laws of evolution. We haven't evolved since biblical times.

Used to be skinny and weak as hell. At 19, I was something like 155 lbs at 6'5".
Now 5 years later I'm 220 and bodyfat just shy of 17 p.c. last time I checked. I'll admit I gained a little belly bulking up, but it was worth it. Skinny dudes just don't understand how good it feels to be strong and muscular.
Currently I'm cutting the fat, my goal is to have a six pack with no love handles by new years (bf around 12 p.c.), which I think should be doable with a little discipline.

A nice body doesn't equal pussy, you fucking nigger. Most hot chicks i know hook up with fat guys who have lots of money and are douchebags. Or extremely skinny people who are in bands. Because women don't want muscular bodies, they want skinny bodies. You can deny it all you want but the rock star cocaine skinny look is the most attractive look for women.

Working out when taken by people with the douchebag attitude(alpha male) will be just going to the treadmill and doing curls while hitting on the chicks. When taken by nerds like us, it will be like a holy crusade to lose weight and it will never stop, because as nerds we make our hobbies our lives. Which leads us to musclebound virgins.
