A poll to convince my a**hole boyfriend he's wrong

zMath time??!
I'm doing this factoring in some weight loss from muscle, with muscle being 600 calories/lb
Say you start off at 225 and are 45% body fat. This means you have 101.25 lbs of bodyfat
You end up at 125 and 20% body fat. This means you now have 25 lbs of bodyfat
Over your 100 lb loss, you have lost 76.25 lbs from fat and 23.75 from muscle, etc. We'll just say muscle for simplifying purposes.
This calorie equivalent would be 76.25*3500 + 23.75*600 = 281,125 extra calories burned
If there are 120 days in 4 months you would have to have a daily deficit of 281,125/120 or 2,343 calories.
Good luck with that.
I love it when you talk dirty.0 -
he may be a boy, but he's not your friend.0

To do that you would be putting your life at risk. If he is so concerned about YOUR weight, then you need to find a man who is supportive about you losing it in a healthy way. Do you really want to live on 200 calories a day for 4 months and THEN try to get up the energy to workout in a gym?? NO NO NO---find a new man0

aaaaww yeaaah :smokin:0 -
I cannot believe how hard most people in here are attacking the boyfriend.0

Seems like he might only be convinced by researching the risks of rapid weight loss for himself.
To me, though, it comes down to this: Let's say that you decide to lose at the rate of 1.5 lbs per week on average. That means 100 pounds lost in about 67 weeks, as opposed to the roughly 18 that he's suggesting. For a lot of those 67 weeks, you'll be in "acceptable" shape (as though you need him to make you acceptable) but not "optimal", and for a smaller time you'll be indistinguishable from optimal despite losing the last little bit.
So, here's the question: Does he care enough about you and your health to "allow" you (as though you need his permission) that extra time, or is he so selfish that he'd rather risk your health and happiness? One means maybe you can make things work. The other means drop him like a burning bag of dog crap right now.0 -
...................amusing, but not even close. Thanks for your input, I suppose!

that's easy0

First off, this sounds like a pretty healthy relationship.
This. Between you calling him an a-hole and his assumption you can lose 100 pounds in 4 months. Just absurd. You guys need counseling.0 -

What are you talking about? Myself and many others gave you serious responses! Alrighty then0 -
Is it physically possible for a woman to lose 100 pounds in 4 months??????????? I mean, of course there is the "you never know what can happen" and blah blah blah, but I'm speaking REALISTICALLY. He assures me that if I "go hard" in the gym everyday, that there is NO REASON why I shouldn't be able to do it. This is his way of "motivating" me. Pssssssssshhh.
Thoughts?Get a new boyfriend - one that does not utter such idiotic and unscientific crap.....
Is he out of his damn mind!
He does not value your health at all!!! Sounds like a shallow and stupid guy!
I say get out of the relationship and lose in a healthy way.
Add me so you can get some positive motivation!0 -
Wow sounds like a real winner there. Maybe you should tell him to show you how its done since he seems to know its possible.0
-
That depends. How much does he weigh? You could lose *that* amount in about 5 minutes. LOL0
-
Oh, by the way, I feel like you are the issue in this relationship.
He could simply be uneducated. But instead of trying to teach him something, you call him an a**.0 -
you should ask him if he would like to have a gf that weighs 100 pounds less but has no hair and no energy in 4 months? Yes its possible, but VERY VERY unhealthy!!!!!!0
-
You could lose a lot more than that in an instant. Dump the idiot boyfriend.
Hahaha. ^^^ This!0 -
rhant thread is exactly that, so what if she called him an a-hole and so what if he thinks its possible...ITS THE INTERNET ppl refreakinglax0

STOP THIS RIGHT NOW !!!
WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS WHEN I GET HOME !!!
NOT COOL !!!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0 -
YOU GO GIRL! DUMP HIM BECAUSE THE PEEPS OF THE INTERNET HAVE MADE AN INSTANT JUDGEMENT. Not serious.0

My roommate in the Army lost 100 lbs in just under 4 months by going on the Atkins Diet and spending 4+ hours a day at the gym.
She gained it right back after we finished basic though--your metabolism slows WAYYYYYYY down and you have to continuously artificially increase it via exercise or you blow right back up.
Also she had horrid stretch marks she would not have had if she had lost the weight more gradually.
Additionally, get a new boyfriend, even if he is scientifically correct he is emotionally wrong..0 -

BAHAHA! Sorry, made me giggle.
I don't think that's at all healthy. It could probably be done. Maybe. They do it on the biggest loser, but it's with serious training and medical supervision. They also don't have to hold down a job or take care of a home while they are there.0 -
two words- loose skin
Oh yeah, and find a new boyfriend0 -
Get a new boyfriend because obviously he doesn't care enough about you to have your well-being in mind.0

My thought exactly0 -
I cannot believe how hard most people in here are attacking the boyfriend.
I can, although I always wonder if it were reversed and a girlfriend were saying something ridiculous would the same advice apply?0 -
I'm at a loss for words. I can't think of any way that you'd be able to accomplish that (healthy or unhelathy). But he obviously has no concern of the damage you could do to your body while in the midst of trying.0
-
I think you can loose 200 lbs immediately. Dump your boyfriend. (100 lbs in four months...no.)0
-
Yes.
Watch extream make over - Weight loss edition with Chris Powell.. He has clients that can do it with 90days.
but like everybody else, get a new bf..0 -
really it's about you. Do you want to try to lose 100 pounds in 4 months? It would be rough, it would hurt, probably a lot. What happens to YOU if you don't make it and fail at such a rough goal that probably isn't good for you? The boyfriend leaves? Do what you want to do. If he's ignorant of what it takes, then he will just have to educate himself. If he is placing conditions on you, take back your own sense of power and call his bluff. Your body, your way, no other options.0
