My Big Fat Arse or The Amazing Shrinking Matty
« on: September 14, 2010, 10:14:19 pm »
Probably I should have posted this in Nutrition but it behoovers me to post it here instead.

Matty the Damned is well known to be a larger gentleman. Both tall (193 cms or 6'4") and of ample girth. He likes this, it gives him an impressive presence as well as a comely decolletage.

All things to which a country boy should aspire.

Last Thursday I clocked in at a substantial 119 kgs (that's 262 lbs for those who use quaint American measures); a weight I have sustained for about 12 months.

Excellent thought I. Until the start of this week.

On Monday I had dropped to 115 kgs (253 lbs).

Today (Wednesday) I've dwindled to 114 kgs (251 lbs).

That's 5 good decent metric kilogrammes (11.1 lbs) in less than a week for no apparent reason.

I've changed nothing in my diet (neither quantity nor quality) and I've not been indulging in any serious physcial exertions.

Am I doomed to be once again the stick thin waif of my teens and twenties? Do I have cancer? Maybe a tapeworm? Daemonic possession? My tiny mind boggles, it does.

I suppose I could see my doctor but I figured that ill-informed speculation would be much more fun and in that spirit I turn to you lot for answers.

Advise me, Living With -- what the greasy poop is going on?

Demonic possession?  Highly unlikely. Maybe you lost a couple of them demons and each of them used to weigh about 5 pounds.

Now, let me put on my best tedderz act...

[start teddez statement]

I have read somewhere (not sure if teh bodee or dr. Gallant's fabulous blog) that HIV wasting can happen even to those who are healthy and undetectable.  I myself lost 14 pounds without trying much about 7 months ago. Lak omg, coul this be what's going on here?

Not sure what could be goin on Matty -

But, I just wanted to plea with you that if you lose more, you don't get desperate and think about - or God forbid actually commit the act - of filleting Percy Kangol or Vance - :(

Please spare them --- perhaps, a koala bear instead???  Probably more tasty. (you have those there, right?)

Dearest Incredible Shrinking Mattala...I too am tall, 6'3" and right now I am at 160, a bit too thin for me, except for the little pot belly, noticeable mainly when I am stark naked, or not often enough. ;)

I'm best at around 175 with most of those extra pounds being muscle ideally.  Sometime other factors, including stress play a part, for myself especially.

I hope you will be at a comfortablde weight soon enough.

When I needed to check in the hospital couple of months ago I lost about 5 lbs and that was very noticeable .. but then again I am half of your size Matty. I guess as long as it doesn't continue it'd be a problem. I know folks who would kill a little kitty to lose that portion.  ;D

Hope is all well.. :-*

Well I know what's happening, burning more kilojoules in a given period than I'm consuming. My weight is clinically accurate - same scales each time, in the nudie. :)

And mah tummy is noticably smaller. This morning I looked down and I actually saw my dick!

[/end tedderz freaked out look alike]

I said this?  Man, I'm getting forgetful.  I got on the scale last week and thought for sure I had gained weight, but it said I had lost 5 pounds.  The only thing I can figure is that I've cut out sweats--for the most part.  Makes sense.  I know that if I eat alfredo sauce, I can expect to gain about 5 pounds within days.  My fattest was 234 pounds.  I'm trying to get back to my regular 190.

Maybe it is an absorption issue going on.  Aren't there many meds and things like fiber that bind to fat so the body doesn't absorb it and it just gets passed out?

Matty Baby,
I too am 6'4. Last year I weighed in at a healthy 253 lbs. Then out of no where, I began losing weight. 5lbs a week until I bottomed out at 220...To the DR. I went.

It turned out I had diabetes. I was thirsty as hell all of the time, and pissing like a thoroughbred.

My blood sugar was at 450. I urge you to check it out asap. I hope you have a better outcome.

I reside at the 225 level and feel a ton better now, injecting myself with insulin nightly.

Good luck

Diabetes usually has some other pretty heavy side symptoms though.  The constant urination regardless of the amount of liquid you're taking in being one of them.

JeffJ knows what he's talking about.  When my diabetes wasn't under control, I got down to 120, and I'm 5'9".  Hellraiser is also right about the constant urination.  The other things I got when I wasn't controlling my diabetes was excessive thirst, and constant drowsiness.  Of course, that doesn't mean everybody gets every single symptom.  I think checking it out wouldn't hurt, Sweet D.O.

Blood glucose levels are best taken when fasting, which I think means at least 12 hours of no eating or drinking (except water) previous to blood draw.

Nope I'm not so vacuous as to be overly concerned about things like appearance.

That would put you at about 147 pounds, quite bit less than you mentioned earlier.

Are you trying to loose weight in anticipation of Speedo weather in Oz?

I think you mean ~247 lbs, Comrade. :)

Not trying to lose any weight, just lost it. But things seem to be stable right now. Also there is an Act of the NSW Parliament forbidding me to wear speedos no matter what the weather.

Yes, you're correct. I somehow misplaced 100 pounds.

I hope you get it figured out and that it's nothing serious. 

On a somewhat related note to your OP... back in the day, when I was about 15 years younger, worked out (still do), and was on Adderall (still am), I could eat about anything I wanted and would not gain weight, which was wonderful.  At 5'10" and 168 lbs, I was in great shape.  This one particular waitress where I worked used to always comment on how much I ate and didn't gain weight (she had the opposite problem with her weight).  I would tell her that it was my tapeworm keeping me thing.  I think she actually believed it, as I heard her telling somebody that I had worms!  I never told her any differently, though it was primarily all the exercise keeping me in shape.

Probably I should have posted this in Nutrition but it behoovers me to post it here instead.

Matty the Damned is well known to be a larger gentleman. Both tall (193 cms or 6'4") and of ample girth. He likes this, it gives him an impressive presence as well as a comely decolletage.

All things to which a country boy should aspire.

Last Thursday I clocked in at a substantial 119 kgs (that's 262 lbs for those who use quaint American measures); a weight I have sustained for about 12 months.

Excellent thought I. Until the start of this week.

On Monday I had dropped to 115 kgs (253 lbs).

Today (Wednesday) I've dwindled to 114 kgs (251 lbs).

That's 5 good decent metric kilogrammes (11.1 lbs) in less than a week for no apparent reason.

I've changed nothing in my diet (neither quantity nor quality) and I've not been indulging in any serious physcial exertions.

Am I doomed to be once again the stick thin waif of my teens and twenties? Do I have cancer? Maybe a tapeworm? Daemonic possession? My tiny mind boggles, it does.

I suppose I could see my doctor but I figured that ill-informed speculation would be much more fun and in that spirit I turn to you lot for answers.

Advise me, Living With -- what the greasy poop is going on?

I have not entirely faded to a shadow and, whilst there is always something to worry about, there is no need for wide spread (!) panic in the immediate future.

At most a little localised anxiety, but nothing more.

Maybe you have worms...diabetes, worms, cancer, etc etc. Take your pick, I am sure the doscs will do umpteen tests n get to the bottom of it (so to speak)

Good luck whatever it is.

Here's thinking of you(r shrinking ass).

Hopefully you won't be subjected to an endoscopy and accompanying DVD for posteriety/lawyers.

I released a marvelous 15" solid long turd early this morning, followed by four hours of liquid shit (not sure how one can go from one extreme to the other but...) and wouldn't you know I dropped 5 lbs today?
