Comment preview: Very surprised this is the top post. Did anyone take time to check the sources? It directly contradicts much of what's written. The blog writes- >studies have shown that low calorie diets or fasting is correlated with lower leptin levels First of all, b ....

Comment preview: I'm not OP, and I know OP already answered, but I'd like to share too, just in case anyone is curious, and talking about it helps me a lot. I'm bulimic and I've been relapse-free for about 3.5 years. I used to be morbidly obese. The world is HORRIBLE for f ....

Comment preview: I go to work. I see my superfats. I see my 400 lb woman who has a new tracheostomy, because she had a recent issue with respiratory failure and was on a vent for a few months. She fell out of bed last night and apparently they had to page everyone in the b ....

Comment preview: As written by Dances With Thin... >I was running on the boardwalk this weekend with my shirt off. I stopped to take a breather and walked a couple blocks, when I passed by a church. The entire congregation was inexplicably outside on this particular day ....

Comment preview: The first picture was my first attempt to lose weight in the last few years (2011), didn't really do much losing at that point. Last January I started Keto and dropped down about 30 pounds, but fell off the wagon around Christmas. I'm down a total of 14 fo ....

Comment preview: Pandas are bears, but they're ancient -- perhaps even the oldest species of bear still around. Although they don't usually eat meat (it's only 1% of their diet, if they eat it at all) they can be 350 pounds and will maul you to death if you annoy them. See ....

Comment preview: [Here is a great read on Scientific American](http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-paleo-diet-half-baked-how-hunter-gatherer-really-eat/) that pretty much sums up a lot of criticisms of the Paleo diet. There is also a book (mentioned in the articl ....

Comment preview: Don't listen to the people telling you that okcupid is full of fat and weird girls, it's not. I've met and dated plenty of very attractive, very cool girls on it. You have to keep in mind that there are *far* more men than women on the site...which sucks ....

Comment preview: Seeing this made me read up on the theories on the demise of the island. The original theory had to do with deforestation which led to starvation. But a newer theory suggests it had to do with rats. The rats were brought from somewhere else, and with no ....

Comment preview: I posted last week about breaking through my final plateau, and had said it took 3 years, but I was wrong, it has been only 2 years (you will see from Reddit history). I don't know why I thought it took longer.. It definitely feels like it was long ago tha ....

Comment preview: Throwaway because I don't want the wife to find out. :) I got married when I was 27, and exactly 21 years later, I'm now 48 and my wife is 47. We were always an active couple, meaning we'd go to the gym together and even for frequent runs (sometimes early ....

Comment preview: 'Doc, what can we do?' I looked at Doctor Grave dead in the eye, 'There's not much thyme...' 'Doctor, don't you think I know that?' 'No, I mean she's low in herbs, you know veges.' The man looked at his wife, 'I-I guess so? Vegetables never stood out to he ....

Comment preview: OKAY! OP here with some supplemental information. Ever since I was a little kid I was a round faced butterball with a french fry and pie based diet and a disdain for sweating. Back in high school I was tipping towards three hundred pounds (now I'm down to ....

Comment preview: Not the worst, but this event always plays back in my head and makes me cringe. I had recently started seeing someone new, and it was my first time being invited to stay at their house. It was a household mainly occupied with females (this becomes importan ....

Comment preview: "Listen it's nothing personal, I just don't like you. Maybe it's an error. Oh wait, no. I'm programmed not to like people who have, shall we say, generously over proportioned stomachs." "Stanley looked confused. He had always maintained such a healthy diet ....

Comment preview: I posted this over in W&W, but I also read fittit. Well, it's been a helluva year. 330 lbs to 219 lbs in 360 days. 111 lbs total, though I did gain some muscle so the fat loss is probably a bit more than 111. I did it via low carb and weightlifting. I ....

Comment preview: I had to repost this since I didn't realize F2F was specifically for Friday, so my last post was taken down :( But here's the comment from my original post >My original post from /r/loseit said >It's been a wild ride so far! I was a [fat kid](http:// ....

Comment preview: I'm not entirely confident my former housemate (Who from now on will be known as "Scumbag") is a redpiller. But a lot of his actions seem to line up very closely. After lurking this subreddit a while it's like suddenly all the puzzle pieces fell into place ....

Comment preview: With stale limbs I clawed myself out of the ground and brushed the soggy dirt off my clothes. A man in black robes and a hood over his face stood at my grave, chanting some nonsense that was no doubt his idea of what a spell should sound like. "Yes! Rise, ....

Comment preview: Hey, man... I actually have been suffering from a similar problem for six or seven years now. It all started while I was at school, living in the dorms. I was very stressed out, had lost a loved one very recently, broke up with my girlfriend, had a group o ....

Comment preview: So, I actually planned on writing this post back when I hit 300 lbs a few weeks ago. A combination of being lazy, not knowing what the hell to write, and perhaps a bit of timidness caused me to put it off until now. So after seeing our glorious sub-reddit ....

Comment preview: Kale. So I'm getting to be an adult now. Both in body (things are sagging) and spirit (I have none). Unfortunately, this means my metabolism has become as stagnant as the ticket sales for a new Johnny Depp movie. I decided I needed to take a good look at m ....

Comment preview: Since this is my throwaway, I don't want to post pictures because it's one of the last places I have to do my own thing. But I'll say this. At 210 (possibly more) I almost fell into that trap of, "I'm going to be big forever because CICO doesn't work for m ....
