What can fad diets do
21 06 2007OK, so you are a little overweight and go on a fad diet program that promises you will lose all that extra-weight in a month. What happens after that? Well…you look like a thin person that lives in a skin bigger with 5 sizes.
VERY PROUD OF YOU! I’m getting a breast reduction soon and I’d like to post my before & after. My Mister is begging me not to do it…wish he was the one wearing them!
People are more encouraging for you kind of surgery but in my case people think that people bigger is better. I fees as miserable as you look in that first pic.
best of luck to you
Man that is woinderful, I got to about 360 when I decided it was enought. Im downto about 325 and want to love to lose 100 or so more. I have a few diet pills to thank. I was on the verge of getting lapband surgery.
wow! good job.
Amazing. Well done.
The title really makes it sound like its against “fad diets”, as the name “fad diet” pretty much incites thoughts of a diet that doesn’t work. Yet it looks like this one did. However as it shows…there are consequences to losing that much weight in the first place. The only real solution is not to become that first picture…it’s not that hard.
As for breast reduction, you women really should be ashamed of yourselves. That’s like asking a man to get a penis reduction surgery.
No one is asking a man or woman to do anything, though, battlepop.
Some people like healthy spines, and I don’t think I could blame the man lugging around 8 or more pounds of free-hanging flesh in between his legs for getting a reduction surgery.
Also, the change apparent in the photos is amazing. If that had happened to my skin, I think I’d lose hope, get embarrassed, and gain the weight back. Awesome perseverance!
Battlepop — are you for real? Breasts can weigh several pounds each, and being that big, they can easily cause back problems for women. Try carrying 10 pounds of pointless fat hanging from your chest for years and years, but hey, don’t complain that the pain is excruciating…we certainly don’t.
Brujeria — good for you
I know a woman locally who got a breast-reduction from J to B…It was a response to losing her boyfriend…Sort of a way to make a clean break. Most women just cut their hair, THAT grows back…
I don’t know, losing weight is good, but breast-reduction isn’t. I could bore everyone to coma or vomit with some BS about breasts being the “essence of femininity”, or something like that, but breasts ARE the most attractive part of a woman…In fact, I THINK they even have implants for that…
You women…The small-breasted ones want larger breasts. The large-breasted ones want smaller ones. The straight-haired ones curl their hair, and the curly-haired ones straighten theirs…Quit fretting. We men love you just as you are!
BIG HUGS and big jugs!
P.S. Before anyone says, “Oh, she’s so much happier now”, no, she isn’t. Her breasts hurt, and she can no longer breast-feed her little son.
Also, she is no longer pursued by hordes of men, which has been devastating for her self-esteem…Granted, they’re shallow men who were PROBABLY only after her breasts, but still, going from uber-popular to completely unknown CAN’T be a very pleasant feeling!
Also, breasts can’t be transplanted to someone who wants/needs them, it’s just thrown away…Something like throwing away the winning (genetic) lottery-ticket?
And no, I’m not saying that breast-reductions are bad all the way around, only for women. I have a neighbor who mows the lawn nude, and has breasts bigger than any 10 women put together.
To the man who posted this, good job losing all that weight, and hopefully the skin they cut from you will help some burn-victims!
Great work mate, first pic to last pic the only thing that looks the same is the face, what a make-over, im guessing it took very long to heal and for you to get into the shape you have in the last pic (muscles and such), ps. could you give any tip on a diet that works?, im not nearly as big as you were in the first pic, i just have manboobs and a slipping waste line i wanna get rid off, but im kinda lazy, was wondering if you have any good tip on diet/exercise that is perfect for people who dont really like to work out, as i assume you werent all that good at in the beginning of your diet cause of your size, Any tip would be appriciated.
PS. Reducing the size of a womans breasts is like slapping god across the face. DS.
Hi, Fronken!
All that muscle requires months or even years or training. There is no easy way for that.
I don’t know your case, so I will just give you some general recommendations, but you should consult a doctor before doing any exercise or going on a diet.
When you decide it’s time to change your life style, the beginning is the hardest. You should start with small steps, one at a time. I have a post on my blog about this, Small Steps To Lose Weight.
Hi all,
I was weighting 375 lbs exactly 9 months ago. Now I’m down to 228 lbs, with 28% of fat in my body. I workout everyday, even Sundays, I take xenical, sibutramine, ginseng, whey protein, thermogenic pills and a few other suff, so I don’t have to ingest lots of food in order to have the same vitamins and proteins.
Starting january I’ll undergo a few surgeries to remove the remaining flacid skin. First it will be belly and breast. Then inner thighs. Later, if necessary, arms and neck. Surgery in my arms may not be necessary, because of workout: as my arm muscles develop, the extra skin will be stretched again.
Anyhow, congrats for the guy in the picture. It’s a really hard thing to do – I’ve been there. It takes lots of effort, patience, perseverance, but I can tell you it pays off.
Okay awesome job dieting there buddy.
Mostly just posting because some of the people commenting here do not seem to realize that most breast reduction surgeries are not for cosmetic reasons, they are for medical/health reasons. Big jugs are nice, but massive ones cause serious back trouble, posture issues, and many times can cause serious self esteem issues when so many stranger’s eyes go straight to the chest. It could make a girl want to curl up and hide. And I don’t believe in a god that wants women to suffer needlessly because of their genes. Battlepop, you are probably young therefore I will not reprimand you, but you need to try and see things from the other point of view before deciding how you feel about some things – namely women.
