I've hit the most satisfying weight for my OCD and I'm trapped now
My knowledge of Roman numerals is insufficient to decode it but my weight's been "ERR" for years.
Next step? 543,21kg
That also would be perfect!
Make sure you get a photo of 420.69 on the way up
Don't be so harsh! I'd accept 432,10 kg
Easy mode: 420kg
Hard mode: 4.20kg
Getting to 420kg without dying doesn’t sound that easy. It’s over half an F1car! You aren’t gonna be leaving you reinforced bed without a lot of help for a much of the time.
You’re not really that weight though, the phone adds some. Sorry to have to inform you of this.
....omg the phone's weight on the scales
800.85 or gtfo
At first I assumed it was in lbs and was like "wow, you're tiny" and that didn't seem right so I zoomed in and went "wow, you're huge"
That's amazing, that's the same weight as my luggage!
....im assuming your luggage is pretty heavy lol
Why didn't somebody tell me my luggage was so big?!
This is one of my pet peeves - fraudulent scales. There's no way in Hell that bathroom scale is that accurately measuring your weight. Yet it just displays it anyway to make the item feel more luxurious or high end than it really is.
Lol yeah i take it with a grain of salt and just focus on how my clothes fit better
Could you please explain why bathroom scales aren’t accurate? I love to learn and this is new to me.
A scale is a scale right?
Every scale has certain limitations on accuracy. A bathroom scale is just no where near the cost of a scale that can precisely measure to five significant figures.
That's almost 300lbs! The reflection rules out morbidly obese, so are you tall as fuck, jacked as fuck, or both?
People have lost the plot on what is morbidly obese.
To most people obese is healthy and healthy is dangerously underweight.
The reflection absolutely does not rule out morbidly obese. It is by definition morbidly obese. The bmi scale does not care about muscle mass.
Yeah I know it's stupid. I'm also ridiculously categorized as morbidly obese. I'm quite a bit lighter than that though.
Yeah it's weird, I was just being lazy with wording, but now I want to defend BMI a little since it's not that stupid. (I meant to say he didn't look like the stereotypical image of a morbidly obese person, which in hindsight isn't very productive)
It's true that BMI is only useful for "normal" people, which excludes pro-athletes/body builders with a lot more muscle than the average person, and people with conditions that affect their weight. For the vast majority of people, it's a useful metric for overall health. Anyone who cares about longevity and quality of life shouldn't ignore it just because it's uncomfortable to think about or "seems wrong" based on some self assessments. Obviously, there's a lot of stigma around being labelled as obese, but people are judgy assholes about everything. What's basically guaranteed, though, is that if you do lose weight to reach a "healthy" BMI, you will feel a lot better physically (and probably also mentally). Pains you didn't even realize you had will go away, you'll have more energy, etc.
I'm not saying you should lose weight, idgaf. Your life isn't mine, and I'm not here to give unsolicited advice. I just feel compelled to add some extra context so people don't draw hasty conclusions.
I'm currently a little heavy, I'm not going to lie. But I haven't always been. And even when I was really thin all the following was still true. I'm I'm only 5'10" (1.78m for the rest of you). But I wear 2xl gloves. I wear a 3xl motorcycle helmet. I have siize 13.5 us feet (EU 48-49). Usually people have a wingspan pretty close to their height, sometimes a little less or a little more. But my wingspan is just over 6'5" (1.96 m) which is 7" or 18cm bigger than my height. My leg bones are way thicker than average, almost freakishly so. Even when I was in marathon running condition, and even at my medium height I could dunk a basketball, I was technically right on the edge of obese by BMI standards. I beat our schools presidential physical fitness record when I was 14. I could stack all of the plates on the leg press machine easily, our football team guys couldn't do it. BMI is a load of shit for some of us.
Not necessarily. If he's 7'4" or taller he'd have a healthy BMI!
Don't forget morfans!
My dumb ass American mind assumed that scale was in pounds and I though the guy was a little person until I saw your comment
Probs just fat as fuck. I weighed myself a couple of months ago and saw 145kg and knew I gotta sort out my weight out. Im average height
damn. well congrats on the progress so far
hope it goes well. your knees and ankles will thank you
That reflection does not look like 123kg to me, how??
I'm 190cm and sure, a bit chubby, but easily break the 120kg mark
A bit?
Thank you for approving
What are your thoughts on using Wegovy or Zepbound? Have you thought about asking a doctor for the prescription?
I used wegovy a few times and it was fine but i just couldnt do the needle anymore, im a giant pussy with that stuff. I tried pills but they didnt have too much of an effect. Just trying willpower atm now
Losing weight without the Rx is amazing. I have lost about 100 pounds on zepbound but do worry about what would happen if I stopped.
Good on ya mate. Yeah im just sticking to a diet of homecooked meals with mostly salads and small portion sizes so it hopefully becomes the new normal
123 lb isn’t very heavy at all!
No sane person uses imperial. This is 2026, not 1826. Also it says kg.
