Another Question: When Did You Gain The Most Weight

I really can't answer that question because dealing with women...when it comes to dating women I find that looks aren't everything

But I do I have to ask you..given what I said earlier about women being attracted to big men.. Is it really a case of a SO being insecure or is it just that they aren't as attracted anymore?

Women are good at making it seem like it is YOU when it really is THEM..you know what I am saying? 

wassup Ro, i really can't remember when i gained the bulk of my weight..for some reason it seemed over night...although i know it wasn't.....

Come on now Stace... there had to be a point where you looked and said "whoaaaaaaaaa all this happened because of this"

You know what...now that i think about it.  i really think my weight started to escalate after i got off of Opti Fast.  To this day, i really think that diet messed up my metabolism.  I lost about 35-40 pounds on that and had ALWAYS been about a 12/14 and maybe a 16..but i lost and got back down to a 12, then i got off of it and was able to eat food, girl then i gained the 40 back plus more....and also a couple of years before i had wls...i was on phentermine, again lost about 35 pounds and gained back about 70...

I started gaining weight in junior high school( thats what it was called back then now it middle school) I weight over two hundred when I left high scool and kept adding on at my 50th b-day I was 310 and when I started my wt loss journey I top out at 315. thank God for wls cause at 52 I'm at  193 and moving on down and under two hundred for the 1st time in my adult life

Hi RoRo,

I just love the questions you and #1 Mack Mama put out there.  I was always a chubby kid until i  got to jr high, then i was that fat girl. Not sure what my higest weight was at that point, but i wore sizes 16 and 18. I think I gained most of my weight between the 7th grade and 11th grade.  During that time i lived in a all white housing project, so i didn't go outside much.  Hell, I didn't even know we lived the project.  The second semester of my 11th year we moved with my grandmother to a all black neighborhood. About 6mos after we moved I had lost 100lbs. My mom said it was the boys and walking to the ballpark that cause me to lose weight. When i graduated from high school I were a size 3.  I kept the weight off till i hit  age 30, from that point started gaining weight, got pregnant, continue gaining after my daughter was born.  My highest weight was 287 lbs.

WHEN MY GRANDFATHER PASSED, AND MY DAUGHTER MOVED OUT OF THE STATE.

Super skinny kid, always underweight, went through a brief chubby period in the summer from 7th to 8th grade and then was skinny again. 

Exercised like a fiend until the day I found out I was pregnant.  Stopped all except the walk into the big azz burrito place I ate EVERYDAY while I was pregnant.  Greedy heifer syndrome for 9 months--ate everything I could and lots of it. 

82 pounds later had a baby that only weighed just shy of 7, never lost any and found another 40 when his **** po daddy and I split for the final time.

Hello Lapband when he was 3 and I couldn't take it anymore. 

I was ALWAYS big. Which is kind of ironic considering at birth I was all of 2lbs and 11oz. I was always the big tall kid in the back row of the class pics at school, ya know? I swear I probably weighed 80-90lbs in KINDERGARTEN. My parents were never big on the nutrition thing...we always ate balanced meals, but my daddy always liked fried pork chops with gravy, fried spam, FRIED anything. He would throw a fit if my mom didn't fix it. She got tired of hearing it and that is how she cooked most of the time. I was not an athletic kid at all. I think I was always 'destined' to be big, as my mother and her sisters are all overweight, and there are some heavy women on my dad's side of the family as well. Although I have to admit, the thing I think REALLY affected my weight though too was this lady that babysat me when I was a kid. When she fixed lunches in the summers, we were literally allowed to eat ALL we wanted. She would fix it as long as we would eat it....example: you know those Totino's frozen pizzas? I kid you not when I say this chick had them in and out of the oven like a damn assembly line. It was NOTHING for any of the kids she kept to eat 4-5 of those pizzas JUST FOR LUNCH. And then you know of course later on we got Oreos and crap like that for snacks.
When I was an adult, I lost weight a few times on my own, some good ways, some bad. I did the bulimia thing for a while, WW, took up running...before WLS I got to where I had lost about 110 or so...not too shabby, although not ALL of those pounds were lost in a healthy manner. But I did get down to about where I am now, maybe about 10lbs larger. In 2002, my uncle got murdered, he was just a few years older than me, and that is what set me off yet AGAIN. I gained about 150lb pounds behind that, such an emotional eater that I am. I'm talking like drowning my sorrows in a 1/2 gallon of ice cream EVERY night...AFTER eating a huge azz dinner. That is when I said enough is enough, and got the WLS bandwagon. Even though I used to say I could never do it. LOL

I was a chubby child lost the weight while in Jr high keep it off until I got married and had 1st child in 87 literally eat for 2  and gained 60 lbs he weighted 7lbs,I lost 30 and 18 months later pregnant again only gained 25 he weighed 8 1/2 lost all the weight from 2nd baby but still had 40 from the 1st got pregnant again in 94 ballooned up to 262  dropped 70+ using phen/phen and other diet drugs and once I stopped the weight came back and more.  Stopped trying to lose weight because it seemed like every time I lost weight I got pregnant, and finally in 2004 decided I was tired of being fat and had WlS
