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.

Well done on the double post *NM* Stephen - 14/09/2011 04:31:36 PM 233 Views
Why do I always double post? I don't mean to. *NM* Vivien - 14/09/2011 05:00:34 PM 260 Views
Over enthuasiastically jabbing the submit button? Stephen - 14/09/2011 05:27:15 PM 454 Views
I'm for. *NM* Palatine - 14/09/2011 05:56:05 PM 229 Views

and God doubly bless large breasted women in bikinis *NM* random thoughts - 14/09/2011 09:41:49 PM 286 Views
The woman on the right is just fat, probably dangerously so. *NM* Tom - 14/09/2011 06:29:07 PM 247 Views
Would not having a well fitting bikini top make her magically lose weight? Vivien - 14/09/2011 07:18:49 PM 510 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 544 Views
I agree with you on this. Rebekah - 14/09/2011 08:37:50 PM 699 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 620 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 551 Views
You get a range of healthy sizes in regular stores. Vivien - 14/09/2011 10:24:20 PM 633 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 556 Views
But it ISN'T Tom - 15/09/2011 03:26:43 AM 610 Views
Exactly- smoking is so much worse! Vivien - 15/09/2011 06:07:04 AM 746 Views
No. Amyrlin - 15/09/2011 05:11:54 PM 671 Views
I agree and disagree Amyrlin - 14/09/2011 09:53:01 PM 741 Views
I don't mind the directness, I want someone to engage/argue with me. Vivien - 14/09/2011 10:37:02 PM 612 Views
That would be me. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 03:07:19 AM 504 Views
Your friend sounds hot. Vivien - 15/09/2011 05:38:18 AM 604 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 241 Views

I would encourage you to go back and read my exact post. Tom - 15/09/2011 03:21:02 AM 623 Views
What makes you think that fat shaming is effective in making fat people lose weight? Vivien - 15/09/2011 05:26:17 AM 665 Views
that is not what he is saying LadyLorraine - 15/09/2011 06:43:04 AM 630 Views

I agree ßelals Girl - 27/09/2011 07:54:19 PM 690 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 560 Views
BwahahAHHAhAHHAhHAhAHhaa. Yes. Just what I was thinking. ^_^ globug0822 - 16/09/2011 04:38:54 AM 761 Views
Right. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:36:22 PM 559 Views
They are nice bikinis, for bikinis. Rebekah - 14/09/2011 08:51:19 PM 619 Views
I would be kind of tempted by the boy shorts with the strings. Vivien - 14/09/2011 08:59:15 PM 628 Views
Boy shorts and a tankini top I could cope with. Rebekah - 14/09/2011 09:02:54 PM 685 Views
Tankinis!? Vivien - 14/09/2011 09:21:38 PM 719 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 484 Views
they do look cute. Aeryn - 14/09/2011 11:23:54 PM 568 Views
Tankinis!? Or the stuff in the link? Vivien - 14/09/2011 11:29:39 PM 668 Views
Tankini. *NM* Aeryn - 14/09/2011 11:30:20 PM 250 Views
I might go for a tankini next summer... LaSombra - 28/09/2011 08:48:00 PM 684 Views
Best horizontal scrollbar ever. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 14/09/2011 10:48:47 PM 282 Views
The fat woman disappeared! *NM* Two Wongs - 05/10/2011 11:27:22 AM 256 Views
"All bikinis 50% off" said the sign in the window aerocontrols - 15/09/2011 01:51:22 AM 651 Views
"well-endowed women" and "plus-size women" *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 16/09/2011 02:06:10 PM 285 Views
?? *NM* Amyrlin - 16/09/2011 07:01:42 PM 263 Views
redundant and inaccurate. Aeryn - 16/09/2011 07:56:40 PM 457 Views
I was saying Sareitha Sedai - 16/09/2011 08:10:09 PM 590 Views
Should it really, though? There's no ambiguity in "well endowed women". Legolas - 16/09/2011 09:31:42 PM 463 Views
I might have inherited a pit of water from my father? *NM* Two Wongs - 05/10/2011 11:28:30 AM 218 Views
yeah, bikinis always seem aimed at smaller boobs... LaSombra - 18/09/2011 06:41:24 PM 549 Views
