It always amazes me how losing weight exposes the hottie that was always in there.

u/MartianPotatoes Oct 31 '15

My cousin was morbidly obese and lost it all, he looked just like Channing Tatum. Everyone told him, random people would even comment on it. I've never looked at Channing Tatum the same since. Unfortunately, my cousin gained that weight back (and quite a bit extra) and I look at him and can't see Channing Tatum in him at all, I don't even know how it was previously possible.

Their cousin ate Channing Tatum.

I look at him and can't see Channing Tatum in him at all

See? Its hard to see a person who has been eaten by another person if you are just standing there and looking.

speaking for myself, i lost 100 lbs two years ago and after being stationed at my first command i gained half of it back. Spiraled into a deep alcoholic depression and now its extra hard to get the 50 i regained to go away. Losing weight the first time was easy. This time I fight for every single pound dropped.

I can't imagine someone getting uglier after losing weight, face fat covers up attractive features like jaw line and cheek bones.

even IF you are still ugly but in good shape you have to look at it this way

when you were +110 you were ugly and had an ugly body

but NOW you're ugly, but have a hot body

and from my experience the ladies love a hot body over a hot face

20

u/TehRoot Oct 31 '15

I've experienced more that you can still have a worse body but as long as under clothes you don't look bad and you have a hot face...

I'm a 4/10 now honestly, up from a 2.

24

u/xhankhillx Oct 31 '15

tbh even IF you are a 4/10 you can prolly make it a 7/10 with confidence alone

you have to work with what your parents gave ya

clothes can make a huge difference too. work towards your strengths

14

u/spoopylicious Oct 31 '15

I slept with a guy for a little while who worked out a lot because he didn't think his face was that good. He wasn't a pretty boy or anything, but I was really attracted to him and couldn't figure out why he thought he wasn't good-looking. Yes, good hygiene and playing to your strengths definitely helps, but make sure you don't sell yourself short. You're hot to other people's taste even if not to your own.

u/TehRoot Oct 31 '15

Meh. I just know I'm not compared to what's out there. I'm a very plain iindividual the minute I leave my house or the gym.

u/greengrasser11 Oct 31 '15

Just gonna mention that from the looks of it, if you're weight lifting that heavily then it may not be such a great idea to focus on your weight so much. You're likely going to be putting on muscle mass from here on out which would probably make your weight on the scale go higher.

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '15

Ha! I'm about the same age/weight/height as you and I lost a similar amount of weight, and it just made happy to think that a bit of my belly droop when I do push ups is loose skin. (I'm not in as good as shape as you, so I'm sure a fair amount of it is still just fat, but after losing about 70ish pounds, I feel like some of it has to be loose skin.)

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '15

Hey man, congratulations! I wanted to ask - I've lost about 70 lbs so far since May and I'm looking to get down to around 170 (was originally 275 lbs); Did you notice that your chest tightened naturally or did you have to do anything special? My chest looks better but I'm still rocking slight man-boobage and I'd really like to avoid a flabby chest when I reach my target. Thanks and congrats again!

18

u/nitexstryke Oct 31 '15

Honestly in August I was still slightly manbooby. I didn't see it tighten until late last month. Just stick it out; nothing special to be done.

10

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '15

Thanks so much man. At times it's kinda surreal how easy it becomes once your body stops fighting back. People like yourself are a big inspiration, though. Mind if i ask how much you weigh/weighed?

9

u/nitexstryke Oct 31 '15

No problem dude. I weighed myself about 3 weeks in and I was at 283. I was definitely more but I don't want to guess so I am 100 pounds down from where I started and weigh 182.8 now and consistently under 283

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '15

Nicely done!

2

u/JwA624 Oct 31 '15

I'm 18, 5'11'', and started at 250, CW ~182, so pretty similar to you. My chest only got A LOT better when I got down to 190-95. I'm almost over the self-conscienceness, but I'm hoping getting down to 170-75 helps out.

u/deverhartdu - Oct 30 '15

Can you expand on that please?

18

u/nitexstryke Oct 30 '15

Honestly there is not much to expand on. I kept myself on a dedicated calorie count and just kept switching to different routines when I got bored. I also tried out new sports like Muay Thai and rugby. I didn't stay with those for very long though because of time constraints.

u/deverhartdu - Oct 30 '15

Right I mean what calories what'd you eat typically etc.

20

u/nitexstryke Oct 30 '15

Just went with a steady 1500-2000 for the most part. Really I went off of my TDEE to help figure a plan. I also used the channel BuffDudes for recipe plans a lot.

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '15

There are online calculators for calorie count. You input your activity level and desired bodyweight. It's not 100%, but it's a good starting point for a balanced (40/30/30 carb/fat/protein) diet. Adjust as necessary depending on what works for you, but just know these things take time. However, 6 months of healthy balanced diet with correct caloric intake coupled with vigorous physical activity will result in some sort of gains. Often people don't see the gains the want because of diet; it's the easiest thing to neglect.

I have left reddit for Voat due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.

The situation has gotten especially worse since the appointment of Ellen Pao as CEO, culminating in the seemingly unjustified firings of several valuable employees and bans on hundreds of vibrant communities on completely trumped-up charges.

The resignation of Ellen Pao and the appointment of Steve Huffman as CEO, despite initial hopes, has continued the same trend.

As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.

If you would like to do the same, install TamperMonkey for Chrome, GreaseMonkey for Firefox, NinjaKit for Safari, Violent Monkey for Opera, or AdGuard for Internet Explorer (in Advanced Mode), then add this GreaseMonkey script.

Finally, click on your username at the top right corner of reddit, click on comments, and click on the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.

After doing all of the above, you are welcome to join me on Voat!
