I have no respect for people that have such a lack of motivation that they get that much over weight. They need to be weeded out through the process of natural selection they souldnt remain in the breeding pool. Godbless darwin and his common sense. PS, I cant spell despite the high IQ. I still have enough reasoning to survive so I have the right to breed. ------------------ IP: Logged |

so if Mr Fatty usually eats 1 whole pizza at lunch and went up to 300lbs of lard over the years, suddenly switched to 1 slice at lunch he will lose weight because of calorie restiction. So I slice of pizza will be a fat loss tool????  IP: Logged |

I don't think someone who is actually making progress should be flamed for it. Sure, he still has far to go. Sure, he is still fat, but at least he is trying. Yes, he is nothing compared to the members of this board. He is however, a lot more motivated than the masses. My$.02 Puc IP: Logged |

Motivated, he did nothing special, all he's done is decide that he didn't wnat to be a fat lump of nothing anymore, ate subway and walked. Good for him. He's done nothing special and he's done nothing that he should receive recognition for. All he's done is decided not to be a lazy fuck like the vast majority of society, are we now going to congratulate him for not being fat????? Should we congratulate and honor people who manage to stay at a proper weight and bf%????? He's done nothing but get his fat ass back to almost normal, he's still overweight. If he deserves to be congratulated for almost being normal, what do you think we all deserve??? We should be treated like kings and Queens, not only are we not fat, but our bodies are in an incredible state. We should be honored and have statues made of us. We live in the same society and are influenced by the same things, and we aren't fat, because we have will power, desire, and respect for our bodies. I am in no way impressed with him at all, and i'm sick and tired of society congratulating fat people who lose weight. Obviously they got fat out of thier own stupidity and inability to control themselves, so when they learn to control themselves should we congratulate them????? I'm sick of all this Oprah hand holding shit, where people who are doing nothing special are made to feel as though they've done something extraordinary. All these support groups and help groups make me sick. Doesn't anyone have any kind of emotional strength in them anymore??

I cannot believe that Subway is trying to get rich off of this shit. I do eat a sub once in a while (grilled chicken on wheat). But if you eat that SHIT everyday it is not good. Imagine if he would have saved up the $10 he spent there and used it to get in the gym? He would have been ripped right now, he could have wrote his ticket as an endorsement for Gold's or World or whatever. Nutrition is one of the key ingredients to working out, that fat dude should have consulted with a TRUE nutrionist got his shit in the gym and worked his fat ass out. Platinum Flame away.

I gotta side with Puc here. This kid woke up one day in an obese body and overcame years of entropy. If you saw some fat-ass in the gym your first reaction is probably like mine - yeah, like those 15lb curls are gonna help you lose that extra 200 lbs on your belly. Try pushing away from the dinner table, fat-ass! Well, this kid did just that. Maybe he'll get into kick-ass shape. Maybe not. And yeah, he did it to himself. But he also pulled his shit together and overcame a HUGE setback. That does take an admirable strength of will. Something like that should be applauded - and encouraged. IP: Logged |

The issue is not that he lost the weight, but that he claims he lost it by eating a sub a day. Hence it implies that if you are WAY overweight and you eat a subway sub a day, you too will loose 200 lbs. That is what is Bullshit and should be flamed. On the flip side, I admire the "Fat" people that do take to the gym and seriously try and loose the weight, with diet and exercise (the only real way to do it). But the ones that figure just joining a gym gives them the right to go to McD's and Dinosaur Size their meal deals can just go F__k themselves and stay the hell away from my equipment. IP: Logged |

Damn.....you guys are harsh!! But I do beleive in not having respect for anyone who would get that fucking fat anyway. But if you diet and come down to a respectable weight, you might gain that respect back. I respect that subway guy, but yes....the fucker is still fat in my eyes. IP: Logged |

heheh E2, you're right on. It's the same thing with drug addicts or alcoholics that have rehabbed. We get all happy because they quit abusing their bodies and minds. I say, "Sure it's nice you got over your problem, but you put yourself in that position and you shouldn't have been there in the first place mofo". hehehe IP: Logged |

tough crowd here... i will have to give that subway dude for some props for being able to stick it out that long, i mean eating just subs for like months would just suck. just because he doesn't look like hercules does not mean he should not be congratulated. everybody has their own levels. his just isn't up to ours, but he still deserves a pat on the back for breaking through his own personal barriers. BTW, i don't think he lost all that weight just by eating subs. he probably used some supplements and did some cardio too. IP: Logged |

You know this fat fuck had it all planed out. He could have made those sandwiches at home for half the price, but no, he went to Subway. he knew that if he lost all that weight using a fast food joint, he would strike gold. So I dont even see him doing it for his own health, but for $$ and recognition. As far as I'm concerned. That fat piece of shit can go fuck himself. IP: Logged |

For those of you who judge: How many of you have ever been that drastically overweight? I wonder if you can possibly understand the associated depression which is both a cause and a result of drastic obesity. It is crippling, and I congradulate anyone who is capable of breaking the cycle. No matter how the person does it. Now, I only hope that our friend Jared hires a personal trainer with some of his new found wealth and really gets into shape. IP: Logged |

I disagree with bacaba's theory. I offer that a common tactic of dieters is to keep as little food as possible in their homes, so that when they have moments of weakness, it is more difficult to find things to eat. He could have kept all of the "fixings" in his home, but then he could have easily made a footlong triple-turkey w/ mayo at 2 A.M. if he was so inclined. By making himself walk to subway to get his meals, he made it more difficult to eat. And, honestly, do you really believe that this was all a conspiracy? Puc IP: Logged |

You guys are truly the cream of Darwin's crop. "I hate anybody how doesn't look and act just like me." Why the obsession with obesity; why not the million other social disorders?? ...like the one where individuals belittle others in order to establish a false sense of security thereby masking deep seeded interpersonal feers. I hate fags (because I want to plug little johnny next door), or I hate dykes (because I can't stand the idea that any woman doesn't need a real man like me), or I hate fat slobs (because I'm really afraid that I may become visually unattractive and not have the admiration of others to validate my personal self worth), or.....I'm really jealous that that "fat fuck" can now afford a personal trainer and all the gear he wants and might not even chose to do that! The sad thing is that most of you boys never do GROW UP. IP: Logged |

I agree 100% JayeLynn. So many BBs are narcissistic and have NO CLUE the struggle many obese folks have with their weight. Unless you've been in this guy's shoes, how dare any of us make a judgement about how this guy lost 200 (!!) pounds. A lot of the reasoning in posts here are on a slippery slope. The message that comes across is "Unless you look as good as I do, you're fat and ugly--nice try, but not good enough." So what about all of you who don't look like "elite" bodybuilders? Using your reasoning, you are fat and ugly. There's always someone better looking, leaner, more cut, more vascular...blah, blah, blah. Should someone who has made more progress than you respect you less for the progress you've made so far? It's all relative, bros. And why do you guys have to be so fucking negative/critical all the time? IP: Logged |

It is not the question about the weight loss; I don't honestly believe that anyone here would not commend him for that. Hell we know how hard it is to loose 10lbs. The issue is that he claims that he lost this weight by eating a subway sub a day and that implies that ANYONE can loose the weight he did by eating a sub a day, like a sub is some sort of miracle weight loss food. That it what is getting flamed here...and justly so. IP: Logged |

Actually, of all the fast food places one could go to, Subway is probably one of the best choices you could make. If you are careful with the condiments you use (no mayo, no oil) and hold the cheese, you can actually order sandwiches that are pretty healthy, and low in fat. Within these guidelines, ANYONE could loose weight. From what I've heard, this is exactly what Jared did, combined with a regimen of walking, to lose weight. Yes, it is a shame that Subway is exploiting the hell out of this (despite their disclaimers in the commercial). But that's capitalism for ya. What would be great is if they had a poster in their stores that educated folks on how to use their sandwiches as part of a better balanced diet (yeah, I know, dream on). I guess what has shocked me is the depth of contempt and pure vitriol people have shown here when people gain some degree of fame for improving their bodies. If Jared had a BB's body, there would be somebody out there speculating that he probably used steroids to get his results. And if Jared admitted to using steriods, there would be somebody out there condemning him for not doing it naturally. Can't win, can you? As it stands now people are slamming him for using Subway sandwiches to achieve the weight loss he has sustained so far. Who gives a flying fuck how he lost the weight? It's gone isn't it? And he seems to have adopted some healthy habits along the way. "Chapeau!" to you Jared. As for the implication that it will work for everyone, nothing works for everyone. A/S don't work for everyone (temporary gains, side effects force discontinuing use, etc.). People need to experiment with different approaches and stick with what works for them. Jared did this. No he's not a gym rat, but he addressed his weight problem in a way that worked for him, and in a way that MAY work for others. He is to be commended for his success, and if he gets a little fame in the process, who cares? IP: Logged |

I agree with much of what has been posted here and I really don't have anything unique to offer except a different viewpoint. Sometimes people have difficult situations in life to overcome and don't deal with them appropriately (loss of loved ones, personal sickness, etc). When these things happen to me, I pick myself up as quickly as possible and take care of my health. But not everyone does that. Some people start abusing drugs or alcohol, others overeat, others take up smoking or gambling. The coping mechanism is the same...people try and fill the emptiness inside with something else (booze, food, drugs, whatever). That being the case, we should not hate the person, but rather hate their behavior. I don't think it's fair for others to say in response "you bodybuilders want everyone to look the same!" when obesity consequences affect everyone. Our taxes pay for the problems obesity causes. Our children run the risk becoming obese with all the fast food businesses in this country and their gestapo advertising tactics. Our medical system is having to compensate for the net losses caused by obesity complications. Even insurance rates are affected by increasing societal fatness. We are all affected by obesity. So it's not just that person's problem. If there were only a few isolated cases then I'd agree, but it's not...obesity is becoming acceptable and normal in society...which I hate, because it's nothing more than an excuse to make a disease out of a self-made condition. Sure, I feel bad for how fat people feel when they get treated in an ugly manner since that doesn't help the problem but only perpetuates it. I hate how some overweight people say it's a hormone problem that's the cause...because it's not...if it were, then you'd see fat people in countries where starvation is the norm. Speaking of the subway diet and the other fast food chains making money...that's all they are wanting to do. Ever notice how McDonalds and others have the Monopoly games to get people interested in buying up more of their products just in the off chance they'll win? I doubt the reason is to give back to the community! Follow the money and that's where you'll find the guilty party. I hate that Subway diet promo because it fails to address the health factors that almost all bodybuilders and powerlifters follow...adequate rest, proper exercise, good mental attitude, responsible dietary supplementation, etc. I applaud those who have gone from obesity to a more healthy state by recognizing the truth about it...that you can only lose weight by burning up more calories than you take in, and that strength training is one of the biggest keys to success with any diet.
