For me it's still fairly subtle but it was extra noticeable today. I work retail on weekends for some extra cash, it's not particularly difficult work and and it pays surprisingly well. Today was May the 4th and we had a big star wars promotion in the store. Star wars related items were on sale and people went nuts over them so the store was packed. It was a very tight squeeze to get between people, and i was struggling. We also were selling out of stuff crazy fast so I spent half my shift just walking back and forth from the stock room restocking shelves so my legs were killing me only a few hours into my shift. I also noticed that it's so much easier to completely sit down on the ground to restock lower shelves rather than just bending over.
So now I'm curious to hear other people's stories, how does your added weight affect how you get around in day to day life?

I worked retail for 8yrs, weight was generally around 280-300lbs. Sitting down to stock shelves was always much easier.
SumoSized:
It definitely is now, but it wasn't always. Before I'd just kneel down and place whatever I needed to on the shelves. But now that strains my back too much especially on busy days when I'm constantly walking back and forth to the stock room
Big Belly Jim:
Still have a quite a ways to go, haha. many get harder as you get bigger, haha
SumoSized:
Oh definitely, I'm still planning planning on putting on another 100-150 lbs minimum. I just like to make these posts asking about people who have already gotten to my goal weight just so I know what to expect when I'm that size
Good for you. I can't tell you much myself. I have always been big. So I wouldn't noticed much. Other than being out of breath going up stairs, haha

Just going to point out your username and profile picture are androgynous.

Don't worry, I was on here for 10yrs before I realized you could follow people and like picture. 8yrs before I found out you can stop the group chat from showing the newest message so you could go back and read what they have been chatting about.

No, I just asked for 2 sizes up. They didn't remember the size I was currently wearing at the time. So it give you some time to out grow that, haha

I went from 280 to 336 then down to 260 and back up to 330 and now down at 310 and belly is hanging a lot lower, sometimes shirts are not long enough to cover it.

I joined 13 yrs ago. I remember when there was a map and would show you members in your area, of course the map didn't show you were the members actually lived.
My weight has gone up and down.
