When I was 330 lbs. (150kg) it would take me 30 minutes to walk a mile, and I would be post-exercise dumb for at least 30 more. You don't want to the post-exercise dumb for class (taking or teaching).

Now (225 lbs. [~102kg]), it would still take me about 15 minutes to walk it, tho at that pace my HR wouldn't significantly increase, and I might decide to take the bus instead, if there's any sort of weather.

For everyone, I'd like to point out that the bones on this man were the same size, carrying 150kg vs carrying 100kg. They would continue to be the same size at 70 or 60kg.

Imagine, the next time you wonder how fat people have poor health outcomes: the same 10 square centimeters of bone in the legs could be carrying 40, 50, or a full 100 kg of weight. Or worse, the cross section of cartilage between the bones. Or worse. More weight than that.

Yeah, I'm still obese. I almost got down to overweight, I was within 3kg, but... I've had/been some setbacks. By height + BMI, I should be targeting 165lbs. / 75kg, but I'm still finding it impossible to stick to a diet that provides a calorie deficit. (I have in the past, but don't seem to now.)

My physical health is better by basically any metric. I encourage anyone that is overweight to lose it.

How do you know they are a man?

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 1 points 1 hour ago

My profile indirectly discloses that. I don't think it matters much for the story, but I am a cis white male.

Thanks. Yes I get it. I am projecting too much of my own experience here.
