megansmommy123 57 Posted August 5, 2013 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2384957/Graham-Elliot-displays-dramatic-56-lbs-weight-loss-just-weeks-stomach-reduction-surgery.html Love that he is doing so well, but he's lost 50 pounds, and you can really tell. I've lost 53 since surgery, and still look the same. My clothes fit the same, and you cant tell I even lost any weight. I want this dramatic picture! My start weight was less than his, so why does he look so great, and I look the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roo101769 742 Posted August 5, 2013 Best I can say is people carry weight differently. I know the number on the scale surprises people if I tell them. In fact a few years ago I diet and exercised myself down 36 lbs. Even at that I still weighed 276 lbs! ( I'm only 5'3") Yet I had a coworker actually argue with me that I was not obese at that point! Uh, not just obese but was morbidly obese honey... So it is just someone's frame and how they carry. Do NOT get discouraged. You and your body know the difference. Accolades can come later, enjoy the success you have. 1 TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted August 5, 2013 Lol! I don't know the first picture of him looks kinda distorted.. But some men carry all their weight in their gut Like him and its more noticeable when lost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtower97 28 Posted August 5, 2013 I was going to say the same thing...men! They lose faster and you can tell on their bodies way before you can tell on ours :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notmeanymore 629 Posted August 5, 2013 Ill bet he's lost wayyy more than 56 pounds. His ego might be preventing him from telling the true numbers. He looks like he's lost close to a 100 really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roo101769 742 Posted August 5, 2013 Another thought I had...Maybe his "before" picture was not from right before surgery. Perhaps he had already started to lose some weight, and the 50 lbs are just post surgery. ( So he might actually have lost much more since that picture was taken) Just a thought. I thought he looked slightly smaller on MasterChef, and it was filmed way before July! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faith41 118 Posted August 5, 2013 I know how you feel I see other post with pictures of women either heavier or the same weight as me and they look so much better this damn belly makes me looks like I'm 20 pounds heavier I weigh 172 but look like I'm still around 190 my goal weight was going to be a 150 and stop but due to my belly I have to get down to 140 to even feel skinny maybe even 135 when I post before and after you see what I'm talking about.
