- psykiv, on 10/05/2008, -1/+29At one point in my life (earlier this year actually) I was about 135 pounds overweight, but damn, at least I was still able to get up, shower myself, and lead a normal life. I mean, I really let myself go, but if I had ever gotten to that point, I would have killed myself.
Now I'm only about 35 pounds overweight (im working on it damnit) and I've never felt better. - sarazen, on 10/05/2008, -0/+211200 lbs. Wow. That is heavier than most horses.
- notzak, on 10/05/2008, -2/+22She heard he was rolling in dough, but apparently she didn't understand it was meant to be taken literally.
- kraetos, on 10/05/2008, -0/+15990 pounds? Come on dude where's the extra 10? The pièce de résistance? The cherry on top? Lame.
- postitnote, on 10/05/2008, -0/+15A can of pringles.
- Sisko41, on 10/05/2008, -1/+15he would bleed like every other normal human being.
- Sisko41, on 10/05/2008, -1/+15I don't think his tips will work...
- tehpwnerofn00bs, on 10/05/2008, -0/+13That's quite an improvement, keep it up!
- spyd3rweb, on 10/05/2008, -0/+9Well son, that's Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. What it's doing down here on the wharf I haven't the foggiest, we should probably go ask a scientist.
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -5/+13Tip 1) Stop eating rolled tacos smothered in guac everyday
- UltX, on 10/05/2008, -0/+8He basically ate all of his food, right?
- postitnote, on 10/05/2008, -4/+11Probably the same as if you accidentally a can of pringles in front of him.
- inferno10, on 10/05/2008, -0/+7Holy crap!!! He has a girlfriend!
- Ftown13, on 10/05/2008, -2/+9He's getting married? I know appearance isn't everything, but come on.....
- Xihix, on 10/05/2008, -0/+6Shows how ignorant you guys are. The guy has already lost over 500 pounds with the help of his soon to be wife. Obviously, somethings working.
- LRonaldHubbs, on 10/05/2008, -0/+6Maybe. Depends on where you hit. Once you reach a weight like that, you start looking at localized vascular failure. There's a chance you'd get a watery fluid leaking out.
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -0/+6I don't think I'd take weight loss advice from a man who's too fat to get out of bed.
- 1776, on 10/05/2008, -1/+6Kudos for trying, at least..
- copypastry, on 10/05/2008, -0/+5Gentlemen I think we have found the answer to the energy crisis.
- MacBookForMe, on 10/05/2008, -4/+9OMG!
- bbrassi, on 10/05/2008, -3/+8OM NOM NOM NOM NOM
- LRonaldHubbs, on 10/05/2008, -2/+6Accidentally what?
- mookitty, on 10/05/2008, -4/+8Bring me Solo and the Wookiee. They will all suffer for this outrage.
- iBahl, on 10/05/2008, -0/+4In all seriousness, if these guys can't get out of bed it seems it would be pretty simple to restrict their caloric intake.
The real story here is about the enablers of this self-destructive behavior. - EmperorPsiblade, on 10/05/2008, -0/+4Obviously because he likes men.
- JoeDiggsIt, on 10/05/2008, -1/+5Can someone explain the whole "accidentally as a verb" thing. I must've not been on the internet that day...
- LeviTheSmith, on 10/05/2008, -3/+6http://digg.com/users/EddieOwns/history/comments
Why do you always tell everyone you're gay? No one cares - psykiv, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3Very simple. The doctor said lose weight or you won't make it to your next birthday.
Staying alive = enough of a motivation for me.
as for how, diet, exercise, A LOT of reading, and a lot of asking friends for advice. - expert01, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3I tried using an online calorie calculator to see how much he must eat to survive, but it doesn't consider 990 a vaild weight...
http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculato ...
For a man 1/3 his weight and the same age, for basic metabolic rate, he would need about 2400 calories. Every time the weight doubles the increase is by 50%, so for him it would be 5400 calories.
Seriously, in that case you need to just get surgery. - mooseofshadows, on 10/05/2008, -2/+5Someone needs to order Hydroxycut!
- Daxx22, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3Well, the argument could be made that he clearly has voracious oral skills.
Cause I really doubt the other is possible. - irvin666, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3I wonder how long he can live without food.
I'd say 8 months. - tehpwnerofn00bs, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3There's hope for all of us.
- Easyoffbam, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3Strange how some guy named 'tehpwnerofn00bs' can provide better encouragement than some guy named 'LRonaldHubbs'
- PhonicUK, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3Well done man! Hope it works out for you :) Keep at it!
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3I remember reading about this bloke (the mega one about to get married) over a year ago, and how he really wanted to lose the weight; I'm so pleased that he has. I know he has a long way to go but he's already holding the world record for the MOST weight loss ever etc. so kudos to him and kudos to him for inspiring others to do the same. And, yeah, he has a girlfriend ! An inspiration to Diggers then. If he can do it ..............
- vaeldas, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2And finally sir, ze wafer thin mint.
- mrremy, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2a good response, but you clearly misread what he stated.
"...The people who live with these mountains need to stop feeding them what they want and give them what will help them do more with their lives..."
I don't want to speak for him, but I believe he means to feed him more nutrient rich foods than say a hearty meat lovers omelet with a side of a family serving of bacon mac n cheese.
He needs a combination of non-mobile exercise (hand peddling, etc), surgery spanning over one or multiple years as you mentioned, and low steroid dosages later on in the process near the end in order to build muscles quicker. Trenbolone acetate + Testosterone Enanthate.
Alas, I digress. - drgmdp, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2http://health.mytelus.com/channel_health_news_deta ...
- mmockett, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2That man is nine times heavier than me. Does that mean it has taken the same amount of resources to sustain him as it would eight more regular humans? If so, that's just selfish.
- crossmr, on 10/06/2008, -0/+23 people in the world have glandular problems. Everyone else is using it as an excuse.
- crossmr, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2the food..not his food..the food.. as in everything.. I think some grocery stores had to close..
- roosterjm2k2, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2Your stupid hurts me.
Not eating = malnutrition.
Eating less does nothing if you can't exercise, and as you grow fatter, you're body has to support the systems to keep nourishment going to the extra mass. The only real answer for folks like this is medical care. Intravenous feeding, surgery to remove fat to aid mobility (at his weight would be multiple surgeries over the span of a year or more), then when he can start to move even lifting a leg would be nearly impossible with the amount of muscle degeneration.
Basically, there is a line. Once that line is crossed, nothing short of heavy medical intervention will solve the problem. - tehpwnerofn00bs, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2Ah, but I would take advice from a man whose lost nearly half his body weight.
- neko6, on 10/05/2008, -1/+3Dugg for admitting jerkness :P
- warrenterr, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2He can't get out of bed? WHO FEEDS HIM? STOP FEEDING HIM! I'm sure he'll be fine for about a month.
- copypastry, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1Good for you, enjoy your dongs.
- JakeW, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1The increase is by 150%... not 50%
2400 * 2 (weight doubles)
4800 * 50% (0.5) = 2400 (calories... stay the same...???)
(I hate to do this but...)
Profit! - verbaldouching, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1She has to hit that cause he can't find it.
