These things help inspire me much more than fat shame Friday. That’s about where I’m at too.

Need to lose about 50. Except I don’t want to add 20 good weight. Seems men can get away w/ that but harder for women. Maybe 10 good weight at most. Not enough for surgery but enough for some serious changes.

Question, does insurance help cover the cost of this?

UberDeek

1/5/19 11:43am

Yes they absolutely will help

monkeycowboy

1/5/19 11:45am

IMO, surgery needs to be used more.

bluecheese

1/5/19 12:04pm

Yes, because the statistics show it's worth it to the insurance companies to

Good work! Did you have any excess skin issues?

Jericho

1/5/19 11:53am

Yes and the reason I'm trying to cut down to below 200 is to get to a BMI where insurance will help pay for skin removal

monkeycowboy

1/5/19 11:55am

BMI May be the most stupid metric created. Tells you nothing.

autonomous

1/5/19 12:18pm

It tells you quite a bit for 80%+ of people.

TCuz

1/5/19 12:24pm

I agree. I just don’t agree that it’s an end all be all like some treat it.

autonomous

1/5/19 12:41pm

Well first you said “most stupid” and “tells you nothing”

TCuz

1/5/19 12:48pm

I got a little carried away eith “tells you nothing” but i think its stupid.

autonomous

1/5/19 1:08pm

Yes and no. I look at it like PER or +/-. It can tell you some stuff but I don't think it should be the only stat nor

I used to feel that way. Much of my weight is muscle due to going to the gym

You were going to the gym consistently enough to be muscular and still ended up with type II Diabetes? Man that is some

No, exercise dropped out for 10 years now. Not a huge mystery.

Is sub 200 just gonna be a temporary stop for the surgery? Or is that your

Target weight for skin surgery. End goal is around 185. Part of what's taken me so long is I discovered powerlifting

monkeycowboy

1/5/19 1:00pm

I was shocked in the pics that your skin looks as good as it does. The benefits of losing the weight over a 4 yr

Insurance will help? I had no idea. That's cool.

Ive cleaned up my diet and been more dilligent in my tracking the last little bit. At the start of Nov i was 245.

monkeycowboy

1/5/19 3:18pm

So you workout in the morning and burn 2500 calories before even eating? How many calories a day do you aim for?

cruiserhead

1/5/19 3:28pm

My target is to burn 3400. I quite often burn between 3700 and 4000 and sometimes more. I work a desk job.

monkeycowboy

1/5/19 3:33pm

Awesome man. You are inspiring.

What does burning 3400 calories a day look like? How many hours of running, or
