Your friend sounds like me aerocontrols Send a noteboard - 15/09/2011 03:21:18 PM
Thin frame (6'1, 165 pounds), look relatively healthy, but I'm completely out of shape and have never been athletic. Meanwhile, my best friend (5'10 or thereabouts) has come down from 250 to 190. Sure, he's got a lot more fat on him than I do, but he's easily twice as strong as I am.


Except I'm 6'2, and I went from 245 down to about 190, (briefly down as low as 183, but my face looked gaunt at that weight and scared me) and now back up (hello, muscles) to 200.

I lost the weight for a dance performance I was scheduled to do, managed to lose it fairly easily and keep it off for nearly 3 years now. I've taken up rock climbing (thus the new muscle tissue) and gotten into caving as well. Currently volunteering on two cave / high angle rescue squads. All of this (except the dancing) is stuff I never would have been able to do at 245.

I haven't been in this kind of shape since I was an undergrad. Hooray for in-shapedness! I have much sympathy for folks who struggle with their weight, and I feel lucky it was so easy for me to lose mine.
Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

Bikinis for well endowed women Vivien - 14/09/2011 04:19:39 PM 1083 Views
Well done on the double post *NM* Stephen - 14/09/2011 04:31:36 PM 237 Views
Why do I always double post? I don't mean to. *NM* Vivien - 14/09/2011 05:00:34 PM 265 Views
Over enthuasiastically jabbing the submit button? Stephen - 14/09/2011 05:27:15 PM 468 Views
I'm for. *NM* Palatine - 14/09/2011 05:56:05 PM 236 Views

and God doubly bless large breasted women in bikinis *NM* random thoughts - 14/09/2011 09:41:49 PM 291 Views
The woman on the right is just fat, probably dangerously so. *NM* Tom - 14/09/2011 06:29:07 PM 251 Views
Would not having a well fitting bikini top make her magically lose weight? Vivien - 14/09/2011 07:18:49 PM 521 Views
I protest the "I'm okay, you're okay" drivel inherent in the statement "plus-size". Tom - 14/09/2011 08:30:34 PM 558 Views
I agree with you on this. Rebekah - 14/09/2011 08:37:50 PM 714 Views
It's not that they're real and you're not. It's that they're real *too*. Vivien - 14/09/2011 09:15:24 PM 632 Views
I get that. But that's not what they say. And it's not just an advertising campaign. Rebekah - 14/09/2011 09:35:03 PM 562 Views
You get a range of healthy sizes in regular stores. Vivien - 14/09/2011 10:24:20 PM 646 Views

They have to over emphasize that it's ok precisely because society keeps saying that it's not Vivien - 14/09/2011 08:51:03 PM 569 Views
But it ISN'T Tom - 15/09/2011 03:26:43 AM 621 Views
Exactly- smoking is so much worse! Vivien - 15/09/2011 06:07:04 AM 757 Views
No. Amyrlin - 15/09/2011 05:11:54 PM 682 Views
I agree and disagree Amyrlin - 14/09/2011 09:53:01 PM 755 Views
I don't mind the directness, I want someone to engage/argue with me. Vivien - 14/09/2011 10:37:02 PM 625 Views
That would be me. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 03:07:19 AM 514 Views
Your friend sounds hot. Vivien - 15/09/2011 05:38:18 AM 615 Views
There's still a bit of fat on him, but yes, he's becoming much more attractive. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 07:25:34 AM 246 Views

I would encourage you to go back and read my exact post. Tom - 15/09/2011 03:21:02 AM 634 Views
What makes you think that fat shaming is effective in making fat people lose weight? Vivien - 15/09/2011 05:26:17 AM 682 Views
that is not what he is saying LadyLorraine - 15/09/2011 06:43:04 AM 644 Views

I agree ßelals Girl - 27/09/2011 07:54:19 PM 703 Views
Should she have a disclaimer across her chest- my breasts are only big because of fat? Vivien - 14/09/2011 07:31:29 PM 575 Views
BwahahAHHAhAHHAhHAhAHhaa. Yes. Just what I was thinking. ^_^ globug0822 - 16/09/2011 04:38:54 AM 777 Views
Right. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:36:22 PM 572 Views
They are nice bikinis, for bikinis. Rebekah - 14/09/2011 08:51:19 PM 630 Views
I would be kind of tempted by the boy shorts with the strings. Vivien - 14/09/2011 08:59:15 PM 640 Views
Boy shorts and a tankini top I could cope with. Rebekah - 14/09/2011 09:02:54 PM 701 Views
Tankinis!? Vivien - 14/09/2011 09:21:38 PM 734 Views
I'm all about the coverage. T-shirts and shorts are not comfortable for swimming in. Rebekah - 14/09/2011 09:31:04 PM 499 Views
they do look cute. Aeryn - 14/09/2011 11:23:54 PM 580 Views
Tankinis!? Or the stuff in the link? Vivien - 14/09/2011 11:29:39 PM 686 Views
Tankini. *NM* Aeryn - 14/09/2011 11:30:20 PM 256 Views
I might go for a tankini next summer... LaSombra - 28/09/2011 08:48:00 PM 697 Views
Best horizontal scrollbar ever. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 14/09/2011 10:48:47 PM 285 Views
The fat woman disappeared! *NM* Two Wongs - 05/10/2011 11:27:22 AM 260 Views
"All bikinis 50% off" said the sign in the window aerocontrols - 15/09/2011 01:51:22 AM 676 Views
"well-endowed women" and "plus-size women" *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 16/09/2011 02:06:10 PM 292 Views
?? *NM* Amyrlin - 16/09/2011 07:01:42 PM 270 Views
redundant and inaccurate. Aeryn - 16/09/2011 07:56:40 PM 471 Views
I was saying Sareitha Sedai - 16/09/2011 08:10:09 PM 603 Views
Should it really, though? There's no ambiguity in "well endowed women". Legolas - 16/09/2011 09:31:42 PM 478 Views
I might have inherited a pit of water from my father? *NM* Two Wongs - 05/10/2011 11:28:30 AM 225 Views
yeah, bikinis always seem aimed at smaller boobs... LaSombra - 18/09/2011 06:41:24 PM 568 Views
