The most I’ve ever weighed was just shy of 230. I had back pain and knee pain from just that. As a result, when I see someone truly obese shuffling around, I can’t help but think that it’s painful or at the very least uncomfortable. I managed to get the weight off after coming down with gout. Got it off and kept it off, haven’t crossed 200 lbs since, and it’s been at least 15 years. I sometimes miss beer, which apparently was a major contributor to gout in my case. I don’t drink much anymore, maybe a glass of wine with a nice dinner, or if I want a drink it’s a decent filtered vodka with tonic and lime.
I weighed about that much when I was weight lifting. Not much of it was fat...
230? I think I weighed that in middle school. I’m currently about 330, built like a linebacker. Men in my dad’s family tend to be big dudes, and I’ve done a lot of lifting jobs and I do like to eat. My health is OK except for some leg pain from standing all day at my last couple of jobs. I’m trying to lose a few so I can fit in my kayak this summer. I’m about two cheeseburgers away from having a submarine!
