[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been obese probably since I was eight years old after a childhood trauma.

I'm female and I'm 26 years old. Right now I'm perfectly healthy numbers-wise, resting heartrate of 52, very active with workout classes twice a week and walk 4 miles 5-6 times a week. I can (very slowly) run/jog a 13 minute mile. Can't do a pushup though. I have a lot of mental health issues (obviously goes along with the weight) but physically day to day I feel fine and don't hate my body which is why I don't have any urgency to lose the weight. I also see myself as much less fat than I am.

I once got down to 195 on the horrific HCG diet in 2 months. Gained it all back in a year.

I need real talk on how long before being 100 pounds overweight is going to have grave health implications. Wondering if I need to look into weight loss surgery. [/quote]

Of couse your labs show you as "perfectly healrhy". You are 26. In 10 years, I'd bet money you will be 300lbs and at a bare minimum prediabetic with major joint problems.  At 46, i bet you will be on disability and unable to work.

You seem to have a bad, almost arrogant attitude. Good luck, you're gonna need it.[/quote]

I wish you had offered me that bet- I would have won your money.  i had basically the same stats as OP at 26.  At 36 I was basically the same- definitely not prediabetic with majro joint problems.  Now in 40's I have gained another 20lbs- but no where near the dire picture you paint.  I am very unhappy about the weight gain- but it does not impact daily activities.[/quote]
