Be sure to add me if you wanna and send me motivational words & check in on me once every while! I Love you all <3

Hi FJ, long time member, longer time lurker, and I have something to say.

I've been fat my entire life. There's absolutely no excuse for it, I've always been fat. As you can imagine my social life has suffered from it terribly. i was a happy kid from kindergarden-6th grade, then I went to middle school and went through a merciless hell from 7th to 12th.

I've had severe depression since 7th grade from the bullying, being on multiple medications, and i attempted suicide twice. (once in 8th grade, another in 10th) Ever since the bullying began, I thought the people were the problem and the reason i was unhappy, but really I'm the key factor behind this.

I've hid the fact that my depression was because of my poor life choices from myself cause i didn't want to come to terms with me being the problem. I played a lot of sports, but I guess I ate more than I was burning. (13 years of football, wrestling, and track for a while) Ever since Admin & everyone has been going in on "Fat Shaming Friday" and like that I've always sat in the back and pretended i didn't see any of this , but now its time for a change

This past week has been very hard on me. I went through a long period of looking into the void of depression and thinking about suicide again, but something flipped in my head. I'm tired of the boy I am, hiding his true self and not learning on how to have self respect for my body. I NEED to be a man, its time for me to show i can put time and dedication into something for the better! For my health, family, friends, future, and mostly myself.

WARNING:
REALLY FAT WHITE KID BELOW

(Enlarge)

Today marks the day I change for good, for the better.

As a fellow FJ'er I'd like to make one request. Admin, anyone, add me on here & be my friend. Tag me in Fat Shaming Friday Posts, Send me links for good workout techniques, anything!

As of right now, I weight 345 pounds, but my super long term goal is to be around 250 pounds. I don't know if this is reachable or how long it'll take, so I'm open for counseling/ personal training/ tips!

Also, now that I'm making this post, I'd like one more favor if our lord admin would allow it. If I don't post something by the next 6 months about my weight loss because I stopped cause it was "too hard" I want my account deleted and perma-banned, cause if i can't lose this weight, I don't deserve to be on this glorious site.

I hope to see you all soon with updates & just around in general.
Have a good day, enjoy your Fat Shaming Friday!

As first commenter i would like to congratulate you for your iniciative you are a winner just by wanting to change for the better. Keep in mind tho seeing results in the gym will take time i have seen people quit after 3-6 months because they see no results. Just keep going it takes time but you will change and you will gain more confidence in you.
You have my support bro.

#5 to #1 - sickmyduckk (05/29/2015) [-]

Check this site it has a lot of exercises with videos on how to perform them correctly. (i think its down for maintenance tonight)
www.bodybuilding.com/

#3 to #1 - BaconWrappedSteak [OP](05/29/2015) [-]

I am completely aware of it most likely taking a while for me to see results, and I'm probably gonna struggle through it, but I'm GOING to not let that stop me. I'm tired of being a 19 year old kid and its time to grow up and be a man.
Thank you for the support <3

Good attitude man.

By the way, putting a pic of yourself without your shirt if takes some massive balls.

I've struggled with weight too, fasting every now and again helped me out, especially when I'm not able to be very active. Plus, it helps your body reset its portion control.

Man, half-way on that journey myself with the added joy of an explosive pancreas.

Don't try to do the low-fat thing. Look for something called ketogenic and don't pay any attention to those one-dimensional ********* that slam it.

A couple books:
Keto Clarity
Coconut Ketogenic Diet

The basic review: eat >30g carb (ideally vegetables, no fruit or starch), 70~100g protein (fatty pieces, don't try to live off chicken tits and tuna testicles). and 100-200g fat (from natural sources, including animal but especially coconut oil). Lift, bro. Lift. Do not ******* deviate. Also, eat sea salt and try to squeeze in some seaweed (do the research, you'll get it). And, lastly, drink water like it's a drought and you're a reservoir.

The basic premise is that you want to reduce insulin production and encourage fat mobilization. Since carbs induce insulin release, you gotta cut them out (but don't go to 0 because plants have other nutrients you won't get from animals). Fat does not really trigger insulin (just enough for your cells to let it in). Protein has a reduced impact compared to carbs but it's also not good as an energy source so don't rely on it for that.

Good luck. You don't need it but sometimes it's the only thing that helps you stick it out when every other inconsiderate but well meaning jackass is telling you to bail.

#34 to #28 - xychotic (05/30/2015) [-]

*********** , it's <30g carbs. Less than!

#20 - anon (05/29/2015) [-]

For changing your diet I would recommend counting macronutrients instead of just calories. It will take a long time, healthy weight loss is not quick, you might lose half a pound a week, at the most you might lose two. Do strength training exercises more than hypertrophy and by the end you can be strong as **** and be a healthy weight and look good. The number one thing you need to remember is to not be a little bitch, do it right it will take time and depending on your height you can eventually reach 180-200 and be ripped. Also when lifting remember that form is more important than how much you can lift.

Tl;dr- powerlifting, counting macros, take your time/be safe good luck

I´m so very proud of you, that you don´t take the easy way. It would be hard, and you will suffer, but, that all will be better over time. Just set you realistic goals over your way. Write down every week what you reach. Don´t expect too much of yourself and your body. And don´t listen to the haters. You go the right way, go it all to the end, and then you can live longer, better, happier. I wish you all the best.

Congratulations on finding your motivation now you've just got to stay committed to your goal. Lifting weights, long walks, and portion control are a few of the many good things you can do. As is getting up and moving around for 10 minutes after you've been sitting around for an hour before you sit back down again. Also, due to your starting size, I worry about that hardcore exercise right off the bat might put too much stress on your joints and spine, so I also recommend water aerobics/swimming to ease into things.
Best of luck and fingers crossed for that update photo!

#33 - somerussian (05/30/2015) [-]

Hey dude Im in the same boat with you and was thinking today was the day that I was also going to change. Been big my whole life as well currently sitting and a disgusting 355 lbs. Adding you and supporting you as well as myself I've lost around 30 lbs already after I went to camp because it was simply that bad. Hopefully we can keep in touch and post results together in the next before and after comp!

#32 - anon (05/30/2015) [-]

I lost a lot of weight by cutting out pop (switched to water/tea/coffee) all junk food (just buy snacks that are healthy and you like (not calorie dense) ) and do some moderate exercise ( I was always in one college gym class ie. Weight lifting, kickboxing and I played a lot of DDR and rode my bike to campus).

#31 - georgeforemangurl (05/30/2015) [-]

Drink sods water over pop, it will help get rid of that want for pop, if you don't drink pop then bam.

#30 - ellrotts (05/30/2015) [-]

You're fat cuz u eat too much **** food and spend too much time on vidya. Stop eating too much and go for a walk

#26 - xxAnnekaxx (05/30/2015) [-]

I have been fat and depressed all my life too (Although my depression was not to the extent of yours). I've been wanting to lose weight for a long time, but also always gave up because it was "Too hard" and I couldn't keep myself from eventually binging on junk food. Then, seven weeks ago I was taken into hospital with excrushiating pain in my stomach, ribs an back. Thanks to my weight and my unwillingness to do anything about it, I now have a lot of Gallstones. They cause me pain regularly and are affecting my liver. Doctors are unwilling to remove my gallbladder due to my weight, so for now, I have to live with it. I was forced to go on a low fat diet, which filled me with dread because I thought I'd never be able to stick it.
Turns out... it's actually not that bad, once you get past the first few weeks of cravings and get into a rythm of cooking your own food and picking the healthy option when it comes to snacking. I've lost 17lbs in the last 7 weeks. Every time I get on the scales and have lost even a single pound it feels like a victory. You can do it OP.

Let ,e help you.

2 and a half years ago I had 110 kg (242 pounds), and I lost 30 kg (66 pounds) in 6 months. Now have 80 kg (176 pounds). Because of my work I was sitting in front of the computer 9 hours a day, and that kills the man mentally. You just come home tired and want to eat and sleep. But then, I quitted my job and paid a membership in my nearest gym. I jogged everyday, I rode my bicycle everyday and I went to the gym ***************** . I never gave up. And today? i can see my six-pack, i'm a different person. I think different, I act different, everything in a positive way. I don't quit. I choose the harder way to accomplish something, because it's more worth it.

Yes, the first month it's gonna be hard. You think the fat will nit go away. But trust me, the first month is the mile stone. After the first month the fat will start to melt, after the second month people will notice your change. After the third month you will notice the change. After the fourth month you will need new clothes... and so on.

Don't give up. Everything is in your head. When you break the wall in your head, everything is possible.

If you want, I can give you some tips about eathing healthy.

Idk if it will help, but I have a vaguely related story
I've never really been overweight, but I was beginning to get close a couple years ago, and I wanted to do something about it. Being a bit stubborn, I didn't really want to change my diet drastically and go dieting so I sought ways to change smaller parts of my lifestyle which would add up and make a larger impact.
For one, I stopped using the bus to go to college, asked for a bike for Christmas and like that I began cycling 12 miles every day just by commuting, and that alone slammed the brakes on my fat gains.
And in that sense, I looked for any excuse to get outside and do exercise for an ends other than losing weight e.g. if my mum said she forgot to by something from the shops instead of leaving it at that, I'd just hop on my bike and get it for her.
Basically, in my case at least it's the little things you do which add up and can make a surprising difference.

#22 - anon (05/29/2015) [-]

i went from just over 300 to about 180 in two years bro! you can do it. just find something you like to do that's exercise...whether it's the gym or jiu jitsu or yoga or going on fast walks with your dog, and LEARN TO COOK it's the fast and easy pre made **** that'll ruin all your effort to exercise...

make a big batch of chilli with turkey or chicken on sunday and put it into some tupperware for the workweek, to pack along with a salad and some carrot sticks instead of getting some dollar cheeseburgers. beans are filling and packed with protein and lots of vitamins and **** that are great for weight loss.

it's a lifestyle change but it is SO WORTH IT. the more changes you see, the better you're going to feel about yourself. good luck brotha!!

i've never been this fat but i'd like to tell my little story on how i started to be active.
i dediced to run to lose some weight but deep down i knew that that i found an excuse and quit after like a week or so. then i invited a friend of mine, we finished the track and walked home. before we split up, i asked him to guess my weight. ( i was 185lbs but considering that i was also 5'6, that wasn't good obviously) and he said i looked like 210lbs. it might not sound that much but it shocked the **** out of me. so i was eating next to nothing and running 1.5-2 miles everyday. now since i've learned more about working out, how your body works or what you should eat etc, it wasn't a really good choice but some time later, i proceeded on lifting weights mixed with bodyweight excercises. it's been nearly 2 years since that question and now i'm 155lbs and somewhat toned. i will hit the gym later in this summer but i have stuff going on and i don't want to be interrupted by anything.

my point is that it's the little things that fires you up (like those fat shaming posts did to you) and it's the little things that keeps you going. i was first aiming to lose the majority of my belly fat which i did, then i worked to get my obliques show up which they did too. because i worked out step by step. if you look at those 2 picture transformations, they somehow breakes your courage. go look up for those montly photos. because especially in your case, im telling you man, it won't be quick and easy. first, get rid of that fat
i recommend you to start with some bodyweight exercise programs. you can pirate them. and after 3 months see how you doing, and probably after that 3 months you'll want to cut and hit the gym for some muscle gains. i don't know much about this stuff but hope that helped. keep going man. think about all those cool t-shirts you're going to buy.

#14 - struttndatass (05/29/2015) [-]

you can do it lil ***** stay in there
but you dont need my encouragement, admin believes in you now. make yourself a new life.. for him.

#13 - burninghellion (05/29/2015) [-]

I see football listed as a sport you play, if you are 18+ you should consider joining your closest Semi-Pro football team.

I can't stand working out for the point of working out, but football tricks me into exercising.

League has 3 levels of play, A being casual, AA being just above highschool level and AAA being college +

#15 to #13 - BaconWrappedSteak [OP](05/29/2015) [-]

I can see that being a possibility. I could join a team pretty easy since of my history of the team I was on.

I was 2nd string right guard for when our team won 2A State Championship in State in 2013.
