I wonder what a big meal would look like in Amber's eyes.
She says the big pasta plate isn't much and devoured it like a starving beast.

It would be so much more interesting if she showed us how she eats her third plate too
And you KNOW she went and scarfed down the rest of the pan when she switched off that cam.
As evident by the hushed "ooh I totally want more but I know I shouldn't! *jarringly loud and sudden squeal-laugh*"
 
also 125 pounds is not a reasonable goal weight for Amber. Anyone who's gotten up to 500 pounds would be fortunate to get down to and maintain a weight in the mid-200's. Maintaining a weight that low is usually pretty hard for anyone who is not naturally that thin.
We will have to agree to disagree with this part. I stated 125 is a healthy weight for a 30 yo, 5'3 female, which it is. At 5'3, even 150 is overweight and puts someone at increased risks for health complications related to weight. 150 might not sound heavy, but even at that weight your risks for obesity related illnesses do start to increase. She claims to also have a 'petite frame' and if that were true, 125 would be healthy weight for her body size, but I know she will never get to that point. I certainly agree that anyone going from 500 to 250 is a huge accomplishment but AL maintaining a long term weight of 250 as a 5'3 female would still mean she's morbidly obese with a high risk for CVA's, DM2, high blood pressure, etc, and doctors would still encourage her to continue to lose weight. I guess to me, 125# on a short, petite frame isn't a size that would be 'pretty hard for anyone' to maintain. I won't go on an obesity in America rant, but there seems to be a mindset of many people anymore that 'healty weight ideals' are so hard to maintain or downright unreasonable for most people, but unless you have a condition causing you to be overweight, that really isn't true. Staying a healthy weight requires you to be active and consistently mindful of your daily nutrition, and I personally think that everyone should be doing that if they want to try prevent weight related illnesses as they age. I'm sure this might be an unpopular opinion, but as someone who's mindfully maintained a healthy weight all my life, I know it's not always easy, but it certainly can be done Regardless of what Someone's starting weight was. It really just comes down to establishing a healthy relationship with food.

Idk man, watch 600lb life and see people genuinely trying to lose that much weight. Medically, they do have a lot of issues after being so heavy. Their bones and loose skin for some, but longterm and internal issues that will also haunt them forever. Often, it's the sheer amount of loose skin that tips the scales. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but I think that goal weight is HIGHLY optimistic for someone like ALR.

Establishing a healthy relationship with food is the key, though, and someone who has never had anything even remotely resembling that is going to have an extremely difficult time doing so. Weight loss is CICO, absolutely, but no one becomes 400 pounds overweight just out of laziness or gluttony or not understanding how calories and portion sizes work. These people are seriously mentally ill. You wouldn't look at an Ashley Isaacs and say "125 pounds is a realistically obtainable goal" because we accept that anorexia is a serious disease and that people with anorexia need extensive care to get to a place where they aren't extremely disordered in their eating habits. Same thing here. If you told me that 125 pounds was obtainable for someone who weighs 150, I'd totally agree with you. But this person, and people like her? She has been morbidly obese her entire life. The way she views food has to be totally broken down and reassembled for her to get there, and she will probably never submit to that kind of intervention.

If Big Al dropped down to 275lbs she'd be a shit load better off than she is now. 125lbs isn't physically unobtainable, but the fact of the matter is, it feels unobtainable and would therefore discourage someone from losing weight. It's much better to set reasonable goals and adjust as you go along. You maintain a healthy weight, gold star for you, but someone like Big Al hasn't and expecting her to suddenly drop to 125lbs is ludicrous. I'm not White Knighting the old sow, I just find it uncomfortable when people make such discouraging comments.

People can and do lose half their body weight, still leaving them technically obese, but fucking good on them for getting to where they are- they're a whole lot healthier and will lead a much more fulfilling life.

Ok, so you need to re-examine your own views on body size and healthfulness. Is 125 pounds a healthy weight for a woman who is 5'3"? Yes it is. But it's not the only acceptable and healthy weight. Being 150 pounds and 5'3" is just as reasonable as being 125 pounds at that height. In fact, most people who are 5'3" do not weigh that little, and that isn't all the cause of the obesity epidemic. 125 pounds at 5'3" does not make for just an average sized woman, it makes for a quite slender woman. It has been discussed how society holds up "120 pounds" as this ultimate perfect weight goal for all women, regardless of the build, height, or background of them. And if you're going by BMI, consider that BMI is not meant to be taken 100% seriously as a way to determine someone's healthfulness for their size.

Like you're sperging all over this thread on about how you've maintained a healthy weight and a healthy relationship with food for all of your life. CONGRATS. However, AL has not. She will struggle with food addiction/binge eating/body image issues for her entire life. AL getting down to 125 pounds would be a goddamned miracle. Her maintaining a weight in the 200's with monitoring by doctors and regular exercise/a moderate diet would prolong her life and ward off so many of the health issues that are breathing down her back right now.

In her defense, 150 on a person at that height would be considered overweight, medically, based on BMI. The BMI for that height tops out at 141 before being considered overweight.
 
It's honestly pretty ridiculous to expect Amber to get down to 120 lbs. Really sorry for this powerlevel but I'm shorter than she is and have lost over 120 lbs since my highest weight and I still would not expect anyone as huge as amber to sustain or even reach my lowest weight now.

She absolutely would benefit even getting down to 250. She's way so far past the point of ever looking aesthetically appealing its not even funny. At this point her primary focus should be not having a heart attack at 30.

If she ever gets her shit together and loses the weight i think in the long run just trying to be a little under 200 for the rest of her life would be perfectly reasonable. She won't have a bikini body but having a body that allows her to move and fit in a car would drastically improve her quality of life.

I think we're too hard on people who need to lose massive amounts of weight. 150 would be astounding for her to get to at this point but even 180 or 200 would be better off than where she is now. And no one who's short and 150 is at risk of immediate health dangers. Most people around that weight probably have a perfectly healthy life. Sure they'd have a higher BMI but that literally just states they're overweight it doesn't indicate anything else apart from that.

BMI makes no distinction for people who are more muscular. It doesn't take into consideration body composition or individual health practices. No doctor would ever say "you're 5'3" better get down to 125 pounds or else you'll face weight-related health issues." Especially not to someone who's 500 pounds.

No, they probably wouldn't, I'm just saying she isn't wrong about 150 still being considered overweight.
 
Any comments having to do with BMI aren't valid, imo. The creator of the BMI scale, Adolphe Quetelet, said that it wasn't meant to indicate health risks/obesity in individuals. He wasn't a physician. It definitely doesn't take into consideration the person's build, which is why a lot of people are against using the BMI scale.

If Amber wasn't already 500 pounds to begin with (no need to think about the loose skin), at 150, she'd probably look fine. A lot of her weight gets carried on her lower half, so she'd be more of a pear shape.

5'3" and 150lbs is fat now? You people have a really fucked up view on weight if someone actually thinks like that. A couple extra pounds doesn't make anyone fat, maybe a bit chubby but that isn't dangerous if you eat healthy and do something active from time to time. If amber would ever get to 150lbs she would definitely not be fat because she would still easily have 10-20lbs of loose skin on her.

Depending on where the fat is distributed, no, that person shouldn't be considered fat.
HOWEVER, if it's gathered around their stomach rather than their bust/thighs/hips, then it's definitely a health problem. It honestly depends on the distribution.
Amber, as I've said before, if she hadn't gained 500 pounds, she would be a pear shape at that weight.

I'm pretty sure if you're 150 lbs it's kinda up to genetics to determine how well your body deals with that. Your fat won't get stored in just one place u less you have kushings syndrome or something.

I doubt anyone has health problems directly from their weight at 150 that's silly. The human body can tolerate a little bit of fat just fine.
