I'm worried about boogie2988

[calfzilla]

I assume many on here know about boogie2988 the youtube star. He's most well known for his size and his Francis character.

I like the guy so not trying to put him down but he weighs 550 lbs and is in his early 40s. He's lost some weight before like 60lbs but always puts it back on. For him to live long time he needs to drop 200-300lbs and soon.

Some things he say worries me and some things he says give me hope in him, like when he says he will lose weight or die trying. I know he is limited on the types of exercises he can do but honestly all he needs to do is buckle down and stay on a strict ~1,800 calorie diet and stop the yo-yo fad dieting.

I wish him well.

He's a really great guy and I have a lot of respect for how real he is in his videos.

I think he'll be gone, sooner or later, though.  

Him and John Bain.

Very sad.

[Pork_Chop]

Agreed, great guy.

I thought "Francis" was real, then stumbled into the real guy's channel.

[Raymondo]

He went through terrible child abuse. I think his problems are mostly psychological. Fix the mind and the body will follow.

@pork chop that's the same way I found him; watched a Francis video and was like wtf is this guy for real?


@ Raymondo, I agree. That's true for a lot of obese people. I know boogie has a lot of demons. At least DDP is helping him now.

Only watched about two minutes, but I'd like to give him a hug. (No Bear-mo)

I know someone who is very overweight due to the head.  She is a great girl and functional member of society.  Known her for over a decade and heard a lot of conjecture about her losing weight over that time  but ultimately, nothing has really managed to stick and she's probably bigger than she was when I met her.

If a loving family, drill sergeant mentality personal trainers, personal trainers with a more delicate approach, dieticians, physicians, husband, children, can't help.. who or what can?

[Wiggs]

This makes me sad for ol' "Francis". I enjoyed his videos in the past. I hope he gets the help he needs.

[Powerlift66]

Who is he? Who's Francis? **shrug**

I've been following him a long time, he's lying to himself, his fans and simply doesn't have the will power to get the job done.

If he put in half the effort he does talking about his "weight loss" into an actual diet he'd be mr olympia by now.

He'll change his tune when it's all but too late just like the rest of them.

I think he overcomplicates the weight loss. Always looking for the magic diet when he just needs to buckle down and maintain an under 2,000 calories diet. At 500lbs the weight should come off fast with even very little exercise.

I'm not sure DDP knew what he signed up for when he offered to help him.

How in the fuck do you let yourself get to 500lbs of sloppy shit without somewhere along the way thinking "hold on, I need to do summat here"

I like his videos. I've watched a lot of his stuff and love what he does. I truly wish him well and would love to see him drop down to a healthy weight and live out his life as long as he can.
As a fellow computer nerd, I feel a kinship with boogie

Comfort eating. His dad was a 30-beer-a-day alcoholic and his mum used to beat him every day. No wonder.

He let his mother beat him? What a nerd, He could have simply knocked her out, I was bigger than my mam at age 11 or so, I'd literally just take the shoe off her she was trying to hit with (I always deserved hit, never saying she beat me haha). Can't understand why he'd let her unless he was young
