Recently (2022-2023) I lost enough weight to go from Class II Obesity to just slightly overweight according to the bmi scale for my height and age. I did it with a combination of intermittent fasting, weightlifting and eating healthier. I’ve been a bigger guy my whole life and had just accepted it I guess but I was rapidly gaining weight during the pandemic until I finally decided to lose the weight when I could no longer stand back up from a crouching position without some form of leverage 😂. I pretty much had cut out anything with a ton of added sugar for a whole year and when I finally had some Boba after so long, I literally couldn’t finish it, It was way too sweet. (I still get the less sugar option when available). Losing the weight has not only just made me feel more confident lookswise but also just more confident in myself, knowing I have the self control, awareness and capability to do what I put my mind to. Buying clothes is finally not a chore anymore (fun to experiment now even) and I don’t feel constantly lethargic. I have energy to actually do things and not just stay home every day (other than work), now I just need to put myself out there and meet more people. Trying to get a gf this year 😂
As someone who used to be obese, it sucked, couldn’t run for 10 seconds without feeling like I was gonna die💀losing weight was the best decision I’ve ever made, it completely changed my life
Same boat, I lost around 60 pounds and just small things like walking around and getting out of bed are easier. I once never even dreamed of doing a pull up but now I can move my body any way I want.
As someone who is morbidly obese currently, this is embarrassing, bruh. It's hard enough trying to get my life right and keep pushing on my weight loss journey. You have folks like this, making it ok to remain unhealthy. Not all of us overweight people support this..🤦🏽♂️
6'2 340 pound person here that used to be a starting rugby player, not all of us that are big are miserable with our bodies. Some of us like being large objects.
@@Gabriel_Aybar the original poster isn't talking about being fat with muscles. They're talking about how because they're fat and don't like being fat that isn't not okay to be fat.
if i'm not mistaken, people usually say it in reference to cats just squeezing into whatever small spaces they can squeeze into but yeah, i never thought i'd hear a human being say this in reference to themselves
Weight loss person here, it’s NOT fun being fat what so ever last year at 14 I was 182, I could barley run, I got out of breath quickly, I felt bad about myself. TERRIBLE. Now just over a year later I’m 127! I still don’t have the best stamina because of not being to most active and cause asthma, but I feel much faster, stronger, and more confident in myself and how I dress and look, being healthy even though I have to be careful with what I eat sometimes because I don’t wanna go back to being unhealthy doesn’t mean I still don’t eat what I want, just watch, and ever since I’ve lost the weight it’s been a life changing experience and has opened my eyes, a year ago I wouldn’t even have thought I could have done it, now look at me!❤
I was not obese as a kid but I was chubby/fat I had my weight loss journey when I was 15-16 because I wanted attention from girls and I had to look good and I gotta say it was amazing, I could do a lot more of what made me happy and my asthma was kept under control, then quarantine came and I because lazy and got fat again and due to personal reasons I didn't exercise/eat healthy, a few months ago I decided it was time for a comeback thought, did it ones imma do it again
@@strawberryparkchannel thank you guys, I've been watching y'all since middle school (round 2017/2018 in the loveliveserve channel), i remember all the rapper parodies you made where wildly known in my school and I've been rooting for you since, god bless you brothers 🙏🏻
This is just a group of friends enjoying their thing and offering advice to other large people. I can’t hate on people just enjoying their life. They all seem really close and sweet.
I’m someone who became overweight from 120 to 250 in under 2 years due to epilepsy medication and steroids from a bad surgery for a broken bone. It literally torched my thyroid and now no matter what I cannot lose the weight, even though I eat and maintain the same lifestyle as before. This is something incredibly useful for me, I am still very disillusioned with my size and it makes me feel better to know that I can check weight limits or if I can fit into a ride before having to find out about it infront of an entire crowd. I don’t see why people hate.
Based on what you just wrote, it comes to show that NO ONE knows for sure what causes someone to be overweight. My journey of weigh loss has come in various stages. There was a time when, even when I had gone down from a 46” waist to a 38” waist during my 20s, I still had people make fun of me for not being skinny enough. That depression caused me to gain a significant amount of weight and I had started to get into a 56” waist for 19 years. Over the last 2 years, I finally got down to a 50” waist and is still losing. I am so glad that I don’t worry about not losing weight fast enough for people. It’s good that RU-vids like these have let me know that I have the possibility to get out more to enjoy myself instead of limiting myself to less activities.
Man, I hate it when overweight people look to justify themselves instead of confronting themselves with the reality that how they are is just not right. I recently decided to stop my way of life after reaching 440 lbs and moved forward with weight loss surgery. I'm currently down 120 pounds and am looking to lose 120 more before the end of next year. I've lost this just to be able to do whatever I want because being that overweight just LIMITS you. The funny thing is theme parks have been ESSENTIAL in my weight loss journey. I hate gyms but going to a theme park, I'm able to walk like crazy and have fun stuff to look at ❤ I'm still going to the gym but I don't love it so Disney is awesome to walk around in.
Not even as a TALL PERSON do I feel this entitled. And I quite literally can’t control my height. I’m legally a giant now in the state of California. And not once do I think, in restaurants, or any place that they must overcompensate for me. 😂😂😂😂
It may seem straightforward to judge someone’s weight or eating habits, but the reality is far more complex. Each person’s journey with weight and health is unique, influenced by various factors such as mental well-being, environment, medical conditions, medications, and upbringing. Just as we shouldn’t generalize about anorexia or body dysmorphia, we should avoid negative assumptions about overweight or obese individuals. Compassion and understanding are essential in addressing these issues. Media portrayals often oversimplify the complexities of obesity, failing to consider the multifaceted aspects that contribute to an individual’s weight. The notion that fat or obese individuals are inherently lazy or lead unhealthy lifestyles is arrogant. In truth, these characteristics can apply to people across all weight ranges. Negative stereotypes about fat and obese individuals stem from societal bullying and lack of acceptance. Such judgments are just as harmful as those directed at individuals with eating disorders. As someone who has experienced both underweight and obese stages, I can attest that happiness and self-worth are not solely tied to weight. Compassion and understanding are crucial in addressing these complex issues
im sure no one will find this comment but this time last year i was 80 pounds heavier than i am now, i feel better and looking back you dont realize how miserable being overweight you are until you lose the weight, if you feel uncomfortable with your body and it IS something you can change by a lifestyle difference, PLEASE take action. it won't feel great at first but you'll feel miles better.
I am currently going through a transformation right now myself. I went from a 2XL to a Large and it really does feel great. I still have a long way to go on my body journey but it definitely feels relieving 💪 Of course i prefer being thinner over fat but my weightloss has led me to have body dysmorphia. Its frustrating because obviously i lost weight but I look in the mirror and see myself the same as i was. Also, now that ive lost weight my mind has started finding other stuff to be insecure about. I definitely think i feel more confident now and im for sure happier but being obese really left a negative way of seeing myself.
I was quite overweight and fat growing up but then I started to change and slim out as well as go to the gym and the benefits are very significant. Like Ryan said, I knew I was fat and I knew it wasn't good and I wanted to change myself so I don't understand why people can own this and make it their personality instead of trying to change.
i used to weight 270 at16 yo and dropped to a healthy strong and fit 173 lbs and i can say the world treats you differently and you also see things differently and it helps reset your mindset and it motivates and makes you a better person overall!! Dope experience. much love lls
I’ve been up and down in my weight for about four years now and I can say that I was so much more happy and confident when I wasn’t considered obese.. it’s harder for me to live my life being back over weight plus it’s not healthy. My body has so many problems but that’s why I’m trying to lose weight again. When I was skinny I had literally no problems🤷🏾♀️
I'm glad last year I went on a weight loss journey and managed to lose 50 to 60 lbs and I still have more to lose but it's way better than what I started and I am a size 12 in pants instead of a size 20. I am no longer obese but I am overweight and I hope in the next two years that I can get back to normal weight. My days of eating unhealthy constantly is over and I cook mostly at home. I don't find myself going to a fast food restaurant anymore and if I go to restaurant you're not seeing me ordering a bunch of Pancakes and Suites it's mostly meats and vegetables and once in awhile I do order dessert but that's not the majority of the time. I also watch my portions as well. I do agree with the fact that they don't like the way they look in the mirror because I sure did not when I was obese but I didn't want to make that change until situations for making it abundantly clear that I need to change....
as someone who has been overweight for a long period of time and is working towards loosing, feeling the difference in how much energy and general life enjoyment i’ve gained is insane.
I grew up really tall with fast metabolism and now it slowed down, but I didn't change my eating habits, so I gained weight and life is miserable I had to buy new wardrobe and I can't fit in places I used to now I'm in the process of coming back down. whoever is in the process keep pushing
When i was at my heaviest (305 at 5'10), I was absolutely miserable. I literally almsot ended my life because I hated myself that much. I made the change to be better. Im cureently sown about 70 so fsr and I'm much more muscular than I was before. My old photos are basically unrecognizable to me now. Ill never go back. I hope other people that were in my situation decide to bet on themselves and better themselves. Your quality of life in many ways(some ways you dont expect) improved immensely.
As someone who's damn near 250lbs (205 at my lowest and 275 at my heaviest) being big really does take a toll on your body. I've been obese my whole life, I'm only 18 but my bones feel as if I'm in my 30's. I was diagnosed prediabetic at 10 and literally the only reason I haven't ended up with it yet is due to my fat distribution and diet changes. Loosing weight as someone with a binge eating disorder is straight up hell, but if 15yo me could do it so can current me, just gotta put in the effort and take it one day at a time.
As a semi fat guy, life does suck being unhealthy. I’m definitely trying to get myself into shape. I’m in the gym at least 5 days a week plus cardio. I eat cleaner and just want to live healthy.
Being overweight runs in my family so naturally I was a little chubbier when I was younger. I eventually became pretty overweight and it was a nightmare, and I wasn’t even nearly the size of these chicks. I was able to lose the weight and am pretty skinny now, can’t imagine being this big tho…
I’m incredibly overweight and I hate it. I have PCOS and severe anemia and it makes it really hard. Otherwise my blood work and numbers are great. I walk 30-60min a day every day of the week, do 25min on an exercise bike 3-4 times a week, intermittent fast M-F, meal prep all my meals M-F and track every bite of food on an app every day. I don’t always make perfect choices but I try really hard and I don’t think my outward appearance currently reflects that. I think the intentions of these weight positivity groups were for people like me - who would never wish obesity on anyone, are trying really hard to change it but also want people to acknowledge that they are more than their size. People who are glorifying it and who shame people for making healthy choices to better themselves are doing everyone a disservice.
And him making this video for attention and money making fun of fat people doesn’t help anything g either. Most women 1/10 have pcos and struggle with weight. Him being a cruel prick doesn’t help anything but make things worse
Me and my buddy who are both over 300lbs decided we needed to lose the weight and have been keeping each other accountable throughout the last year now he’s down to 240 and I’m 230 and we are still helping each other stay on whether it’s going to the gym or eating right. Now we enjoy various activities such as pickle ball, skateboarding, and basketball. We hope to get to below 200 before our beach trip which just adds more motivation.
Another bad thing that I though about is that these restaurants/companies don't care about their customers health, their main goal is to make profit (understandable, it's a business). So in this day and age of accepting everything and anything, these restaurants will go with it and make it easier for these plus size customers to come and consume more and more and more by creating these accommodations... with that said, these tiktokers probably wouldn't exist if they werent so many "accommodations" and they would probably realize "oh wait, maybe I need to change".
I’m a fat girl myself, I’m 5 foot even and weigh 220. Pretty chubby and I do not agree with this at all, trying to normalize being overweight enormously that big, all the way up to size 5X is just disgusting. I may be a chubby but I still workout, not being able to stand for long walk for a long time or even fit in a seat is so gross
I believe rhe upload schedule hasnt changed for a while. Usually a long video on fri or sat. They've only been adding their "random" 8 minute videos, but i always skip those. They always barely more than 8 minutes.
While we laugh at this and make jokes, it’s genuinely sad that society’s acceptance of everything has gotten to the point of glorifying being unhealthy. Unfortunately I can only see it getting worse
I've been skinny my whole life because I have an extremely hard time finding an appetite, and it's really frustrating to see the double standards. You can call someone skinny and it's a compliment or it's funny. You call someone fat, an equivalent term, and it's over lmao. People tell you to eat more but you can't go to an obese person and say "you need to eat less". I've always used being underweight as a motivation to eat better and workout, and eventually I know I'll get there. But it pisses me off when obese people say they're having a hard time losing the weight while also eating 5x more than a human is meant to eat lol I've gone to two nutritionists recently and both of them have been obese and actively discouraged me from eating whole foods where it's been the only thing that has made a difference. It's blatantly obvious they didn't want to lose me as a client, and they felt personally attacked by my eating, and BOTH of them felt the need to justify eating like shit
They didn’t create the saying “if I fits, I sits”. It came from dog videos where they would stuff their oversized butts in spots they know are too small but would force it anyway…they biting off the dogs content 😂
I mean, I’ve heard the term “if I fits, I sits” before, but like, as a caption for photos of cats sitting in really small boxes, or something. Never in this type of context though. But the term itself isn’t new.
I used to weigh 200 lbs, but i didn't look that fat. I would do weight lifting, and i worked at a potato farm. There can be healthy weight but to a degree. Plus, muscle weighs about the same as fat. Fat just takes up more space bc of density.
I was 300 pounds a few years ago but now I’m 185 ish pounds and yeah when your fat you lie and tell yourself all sorts of stuff like “I’m just big boned” and “I’m not even that big” even tho I was that big. Fat people aren’t aware of it a lot of times, you can tell them a million times but it won’t click till they realize it themselves
I’m 5’8 203-199lbs idk it says 200 some days and 199 other days, im obviously trying to slim down, like I’m not trying to have abs or a flat stomach, I just want to lose weight and look and feel better and what not, be less insecure, I wanna try and run this summer after work. I am on my feet all day from work, I was at 160-180lbs when I was 18-19 I’m 20 now I’ll be 21 in 5 months. I have tried water fasting many many times, it’s not that hard, people say that you’ll gain the weight back, that’s only if you continue to eat like crap. And i intermittent fast everyday accept the weekend when I have off from work, I only eat breakfast and supper during the week, i am going to try to get my lazy butt to workout either every day or at least 3x a week. My goal is to get to 170-180lbs. Yes I don’t eat the healthiest but I don’t eat unhealthy, I buy veggies and frozen veggies, fish, fries.., sometimes buy cookie dough and frozen appetizers, I buy beef and bacon, eggs, and etc but compared to what others I see eat, it’s not too bad, I try to stay away from frozen foods unless it’s fruits or veggies.
I went from Size XXL and bmi 31 to S and bmi 21. I’ve been funny fat girl all my life until now and seeing videos of girls glorifying themselves at that weight without showing the absolutely revolting side of what it takes to get to that size pisses me off. Then of course I’m the odd gal again bc I’m a ‘former fat’. It’s so weird.
@@novatare Your opinion is going to be subjective or relative to your own weight. I'm not even 200lbs so you think I would feel honored to be crushed by a 200lb behemoth?😆
I recently lost 100 pounds in 2022 the greatest decision I made. Trust me bullying and the constant pressure from everyone was one the main motivators for me and I think it would definitely help a lot of fat people now. Also I love you guys and all the content your making, keep it up.
I’m a 38 year old female physician. I just took my 60 year old mother to Disney world for the first time in her life. THIS was my biggest complaint and made me so upset. As a pathologist who has done many autopsies on obese people…you’re not healthy. Your arteries are absolutely clogged. Your joints hurt because you’re not meant to carry that amount of weight around. I can’t believe Disney is incredibly accommodating to obese people. I won’t be going back again until this changes (which the way this country is heading will be never).
I’m an overweight woman myself. Like I don’t worry about having to get on rides or anything but i definitely take care of myself health wise because although im comfortable in my skin i know it comes with health problems if i get to big so I do what i need to to stay a good size just for my health. But im not gonna comment on other people’s weight because thats not my business.
