So yeah outside of a major hormonal imbalance the body is going to burn fat when you don’t consume enough calories to reach your base metabolic rate. Usually what happens is that person eats cleaner generally and exercises but the calories in vs calories burned stays relatively the same so little or no weight loss. Also gotta remeber a person who might be a few lbs overweight needs 2700 calories just to maintain their current weight

There’s a weight gain in the 30s for a lot of people and that’s because at that point your done growing so your base metabolic rate is lower, resulting in some weight gain.

And there’s always a base metabolic rate, and it actually gets larger the bigger your body is which is not insignificant. It’s your body weight multiplied by 15. This is the number you need just to maintain your current body weight, this is why some gainers “plateau” it gets hard to regularly consume 10s of thousands of calories; the ammount of food they consume is significantly less than the number they need to gain by a few thousand calories in some cases.

It’s all numbers. More need to go in than that are burned. And there’s no way to lower that number other than to lose weight.

No there’s no world in which eating less will make you gain more weight, so there’s no point in starving yourself. Just lower your amount of strenuous exercise, calories you then consume will turn into fat. The metabolism is like a oven when you exercise it’s like blowing oxygen into a fire requiring more energy to be consumed

Very much the case! A lot of it depends on strain too, a heavy Indica will make you feel like part of the couch, a heavy Sativa will give you like energy; people say either or both give them the munchies 🤷‍♂️
A lot of it depends on the person entirely too, some people just don’t get the munchies

Most of my shirts cover my belly I buy them like that but even still sometimes shit just rides up and more likely than not I’m probably the last one to notice

>tfw you gross someone out with your belly hanging out and you have no idea why they’re making faces until you realize your shirt rode up revealing your soft belly for all the world to see

Has anyone seen the obese giga Chad image? Was curious if it a guy who’s in the community somewhere or not

Edit: I changed my photo to it if anyone isn’t sure I just want to credit them if possible it’s just such a great meme haha

Yeah I find that rather insulting sorry it doesn’t work for but I’ve gained 160 lbs all on my own and I’m happier than a pig in mud

I broke a box spring mattress the next day I went and got another one that night I broke the new one

Same thing happened with a toilet seat it didn’t break but it cracked.

I just don’t sit in plastic lawn chairs anymore my sides and ass won’t fit and it’s probably gonna break.

Not quite there yet but getting close
Imagine always being ready to eat, always wanting more food, waddling everywhere, not being able to wipe (I use a bidet) /not being able to reach either side of your body, shopping for clothes being difficult

It’s tough shopping when your double if not triple the size of most normal sizes women get it particularly bad because even the plus size stores cut it off at size 24

Id say like I said before that bbw/ssbbw have more to do with body fat displacement than a bmi or set weight, maybe it’s closer to bmi but someone with a toned yet big muscley body gonna have a pretty high bmi being that muscle is heavier than fat. Belly fat and how the weight settles on the body are big factors
