fat/obese.......why?

[mayberry]

i kinda feel this is more towards me....i grew up in a "large" home, i lost weight, i weighed about 180lbs at 6ft. it wasnt me, i looked like shit. so i put the weight back on and im fine with myself...and just because someone is "obese" doesnt mean theyre not healthy...i always hated that assumption, thats like saying someones from the south so theyre obviously an ignorant hick...get where im goin with this fizz?

i know that some people have a harder time with keeping their weight down, and there are small percentages of people that it's beyond their control completely due to pituitary issues or whatever, but what keeps you bigger guys from getting in shape, eating right, a combo of both or just any type of regular exercise.......i enjoy working out and staying in shape, running, playing ball, hell, even reading the ingredients in shit to see what's good and what's bad (most is really bad)........i don't prefer fast food but will settle for a grilled chicken sandwich occasionally......

it really is a pain in the ass to eat right nowadays, but it's possible for anyone......where's the motivation

im pretty much lazy ... and i got a bit of a gut

but the most of it is lack of sleep and less energy

[mayberry]

ok ok, i see where your going with this....sometimes, people just dont want it enogh. they figure theyre old, and should have to do anything...its a good way to die early though...imo, weight shouldnt make a difference, its all about being healthy.

and for the active person, not living at home, its hard to eat right, that dollar chicken sandwich is just fine before u crawl into bed.....

wow if u want to gain weight but not look fat try lifting weights or going to the gym, muscle ways more then fat you know, and why do you hate fat/obese people or talk to badly about them? yeah i know someones going to say why cause your fat? but actually im big boned and am 6'4 and way 240 but woudnt consider my self to be fat, im always at the gym lifting, and instead of losing weight i gain it and as far as food goes i dont eat fast food at all actually, and yeah that does help, and if fat people dont care what they look like then why do you?..just some words of advice.stay up players...peace

[mayberry]

no, i thought u were calling me unhealthy cause i wasnt "skinny" i was just making an anology to the first thing that came to mind....ur not a hick by any means....after i posted im like shit, i hope i didnt piss him off....

[Sho Nuff]

Fiz i know exactly what your saying, but i think a lot of it has to do with genetics + metabolism. It is much easier for some to lose gain and weight than others. However with proper dicipline, you should be able to do both whenever you wish.

What is considered fat today 19% bodyfat?

player this player that huh....? lol...well from ur first thread i sounded like ur wondering why people dont eat right or lift weights or play ball like you, so thats where i was coming from, but besides that, sorry to upset u "player" haha, if your saying waht the perfect weight is then why do you want to be above that? just wondering but anyways dont get hurt and sorry for not understanding what u were really saying? lol, but anyways stay up player,,,,,peace homie geeees..hahah...naw j/k dude dont want to start any shit.

your a fucking idiot......did you even read any previous posts? i also think you should try one more time.......this time think before you type.

I'm kind of like u fizzbob7 trying to gain more muscle mass. It's hard but i think in the end it will be worth it. I'm about 5'7'' and i weigh about 170lbs. Like u said before weight lifting doesn't help loose weight only cardio, which i need to start doing. I think some just can't loose weight or are too lazy.

I think the motivation comes from wanting to be good to your body since it's all you have. It has been proven that eating healthier will improve your life expectancy and will give you more energy etc. I guess the 2nd part of motivation is to not be a fat ass .

My biggest thing is for when I get older I don't want to deal with constant pain in my joints from having to move that weight from when I was younger.

I know for me personally I like to keep a decent body mainly because I like to look good...I hope that makes sense.

completly agree, I have a friend who works out constantly, reads all sorts of muscle mags, takes supplements, you know the rest. Only problem, he eats @ like 1am, and than does nothing but sit on his computer all night. no activity after the food whatsoever, and the food, that's the worst fukin part. Chef Boyardee after chef boyardee (TONS OF SODIUM and Cholesterol). He thinks he's healthy because he's slim, while I'm 10lbs overweight for my height, and I eat nothing of the sort (I don't even drink regular soda, only diet for months).

i try not eating junk food...breakdance sessions=sometimes as long as 5 hours non-stop (w/o any food, just liquids)

now thats a fucking workout.

thats it, thats all i do and im 145lbs (5'8") but the down part is, breakdancing doesnt work your stomach as much so i kinda have a kegger.

i have a big chest, shoulders, thighs, small bicpes, and a toned forearms, LOL

Your the complaining..
I wieghed in at 265 this morning but I more muscle than fat.
I'm 265 with a 36 waist and a 2xl shirt and %16 body fat i can go up or down at any time, going down now that summer is getting here..
I think what fizzbob is asking is why do people that are big or fat/obese complain about it, but don't want to do anything about it? I't could be alot of things, lazy or don't want to go to a gym cause there afraid people will stare or talk about them that's why they don't go anywhere.. I't don't matter if your skinny or fat you get made fun of I've been on both side in my life and I still get some looks in the gym now cause of the weight I lift, I got news for people like that I've been going to the gym since I was 17 now 28..
I bench a max of #410 and 3 sets of bench for normal is 315 and people stare and talk shit that I have to be doing something else. If you have the disapline you can do anything you want..

damn i feel short again like always...oh well. 6ft, 235...do i look 235? no. having a big frame and big bones helps with that weight. I was up to 250 last winter then went down to 215 this past summer. I have next to a dead metabolism but I took pills for that when I lost all my wieght. Back on track, I'm only 235 because I basically live in my gym, next football season is coming fast, and playing in college is gonna be a bit differnt than high school.
