Become morbidly obese? live a normal life?

TheUltimate323:
I'm 22, and I'm on my way to gaining weight. I only weigh 66kg now, but my goal is to reach 82kg, which would certify me as obese. I'm 165cm tall. My goal would be to weigh between 109 and 120kg, which would make me morbidly obese.

My question is, can you live a relatively normal life at that weight? Obviously there will be some mobility limitations, not fitting into some seats, having to buy large sizes, but that turns me on.
You know, living a relatively normal life?

SumoSized:
Honestly 109 kg isn't much, that's around where I am now and it doesn't really impair my mobility as much as you seem to think it will. I mean sure my endurance has been reduced from what it was 100 lbs ago and bending down requires a bit more energy than it used to but it's negligible. And I only rarely encounter seats that are too small for me (mostly old furniture from 100 years ago at my grandparents house). As for clothes I'm between a large and XXL depending on the brand so finding clothes isn't that difficult. Except for jeans but that's only because I have muscular legs so finding jeans that fit my thighs can be a pain.
Honestly I think you're working yourself up too much. The changes are slow and I'm afraid at the pace you're posting these forum posts you'll get burnt out from the lack of progress. Just take your time and enjoy the changes as they come. You'll reach your goals and hell if you find you don't like them then you can always lose the weight. There's no such thing irreversibly fat, it does get harder to lose weight as you get bigger sure, but it's not irreversible.

TheUltimate323:
Yes, I understand everything you say. I am aware of that. But if I am 165cm tall, what do you think would be the maximum weight I could reach and still have a relatively normal life? I know this is a long term goal, but i want to have a finish goal btw.

Honestly I don't think it's a good idea to a set in stone long term goal. For me I prefer checkpoints where I take time to reevaluate how my gain is going and decide if I want to continue. When I first started gaining 200 lbs seemed like this massive accomplishment since I had gained like 75 lbs in 3 years and I honestly thought I wouldnt go much further than that. Now I'm doing check points every 50 lbs. I'm already decided I want to go past 250 but I'm still going to celebrate once I reach it. But once I get to 300 lbs I'm going to decide if I want to keep gaining to 350 stay at 300, or hell I may decide to drop some weight and hover around somewhere lower.
I just think you set yourself up for failure when you set a goal too far away into the future because you'll forget the little victories along the way and you'll burn yourself out when you don't reach that goal as quickly as you'd like

Question for vagina owners

MickRidem:
I have a female friend who is too embarrassed to ask herself, so on her behalf I'll paraphrase her question:

"I hit my highest weight and wanted to bring it down a little. I started keto this summer. I've been finding my crotch having more burning sensations. I talked to my doctor and it's not a yeast infection. I did some research and I'm wondering if it's rubbing from being heavier and more sweat down there, or if the keto diet is changing my vaginal PH balance. Or both? Using Penaten to help, but this is awful. Does anyone else experience this?"

Any experience you might have had would be appreciated.

LuvsChub04:
Um... why are you asking for a 'friend' shouldn't the friend be asking...yet ya chub rub six

Munchies:
Hun, the situation has been resolved months ago. Calm your tits.

Also he literally answered that in the first sentence, his friend was too embarrassed to ask themselves. Not everyone feels comfortable talking about their bodies online, so it was nice of OP to ask for her and it sounds like things ended up working out for her and she was appreciative. that's the sign of a good friendship, idk what luvschub is trying to imply.

Necroposting question

I feel like if you're just continuing the conversation it's fine. Even if half the accounts previously in the conversation are now dormant, it lets the conversation carry on and maybe new people will add their opinions to the mix.
Necroposting gets problematic when people just do it just to horny post. The relationship forum regularly gets bombarded with guys (and it's always guys) spamming a post created by a woman months ago. Hell I saw one the other day where the original post was long deleted but guys were still commenting on it thirsting after getting a F feeder.

Question for vagina owners

Dabrow1991:
What an odd way to describe women

SumoSized:
Not all women have vaginas and not every person who has a vagina is a woman. Op may have been referring to a woman in his post but he was seeking advice and a trans man or a nonbinary person who has that particular body part may have first hand experience that could help the situation. There's no point in excluding them from the conversation.
Besides it seems like the issue was resolved, I don't know why you're digging it back up

Munchies:
Facts. Plus, seeing that Mick is gay, it makes sense for him to use more inclusive language.

It's always weird when people necropost to stir up shit.

Sadly after the last US presidential election people have been a lot more emboldened to stir shit when it comes to gender and sexuality. Obviously this has always been an issue online, but it seems like there's been an uptick in it since he's back in the Whitehouse

What's the quickest way to slow your metabolism?

Loudude09:
How would you slow your metabolism down to gain a bit of weight? Any advice?

Munchies:
Hun, you are 18. Your metabolism is at it's peak right now. There's only so much you can do to overcome it. You can try eating more and moving less, but if that doesn't help, you may need to wait a few years for it to naturally slow down.

It is possible to gain weight with a fast metabolism. I've slowly been doing it over the last couple years it just takes a lot of patience and you have to fight for every lbs you gain. You just have to constantly be counting your calories and making sure you're eating enough.

Your metabolism will slow as you age. I'm 20 and I can already tell mine has slowed down some since I was 18 as I've been able to pack on some lbs. So just be patient and you'll see gains eventually.

Outgrow seating

TheTest:
Try the AMC dine-in theaters. The seats are bigger, more comfortable, and they serve you whatever you want!

Honestly even as someone who hasn't outgrown most seating I prefer to go to theaters like that. Though I usually go to Alamo Drafthouse, they have the best Mexican vanilla milkshake

Am i starting my path in gaining weight towards an obese person? anyone for advice and talk?


TheUltimate323:
Ok, I understand. I'm 22 years old, I've never been fat, I've always been normal weight, however I've always loved food. Do you think I can reach 400-500lb?

I mean you definitely can, I'm 20 and my starting point 4 years ago was 125 lbs. Mind you I've only recently been actively gaining, I was more or less passively gaining before. So if youre actively trying you should gain faster than I have but still it's going to take a few years.
Just try to eat a minimum of 3,000 calories a day, more if you can manage and you should be set. Also read dieting tips on here, I've learned a lot from other just reading their stories and learning from their experiences.
