It sucks your original comment was flagged - I can see how people may have thought it was a bit harsh, but it was true. You don't see how it can happen.

Speaking only for myself, it's simple: I'd never known anything different. I'm 6'2", and was ~230lb when I graduated high school. On January 9th of this year I was 318lbs, and decided to make a change.

I'm 285lbs now and still dropping a few pounds every week. My clothes are starting to fit poorly, I've had to adjust my watchband twice now, and my wedding ring will barely stay on my finger.
