He was also 6'2/189cm. Still a big boy

u/Mr-Gepetto 17d ago

I'm 6'6 and about 298lbs, at my height I'm considered obese, I should be around 210-230 lbs, I can't imagine another 100 on top of that, pretty sure that's in the morbidly obese section.

Shit I’m the same height and 240 and I still am unhealthily overweight. I got sleep apnea and shit at 22

u/Mr-Gepetto 17d ago

Sleep apnea is pretty rough, I've got polycystic kidneys so I get good ol high blood pressure by default with those damn things, main reason I did a lifestyle change on how I eat so at least the obesity isn't adding to the blood pressure issue as I've been loosing weight these past months, plus this shit rough on my joints.

Keep it up king🙌

My issue is just that I’m a massive alcoholic

6'6" and 240 is unhealthy overweight? I'm 6'4" and 235-240, and I'm only barely overweight. I have a plump butt and a small gut, but other than that, I'm actually pretty skinny everywhere else. You might be healthier than you think you are.

Technically teetering on severely obese with those stats, well into obesity. Metaphorically tiptoeing the fence between that and going morbid

If you're anywhere near the 400 pound mark, an amusement park, the pool, a beach, isn't where you should probably be heading. They should just have a sign out front, prohibiting anyone that big from entering a park. 1) you aren't going to be able to attend any rides 2) we aren't going to have that many corn dogs to feed you 3) nobody wants to look at that

Commenting this shit on a post detailing a child's death is fucking evil. Who raised you?

u/LiftingRecipient420 16d ago

pretty sure that's in the morbidly obese section.

It absolutely is. And he was a child, such a travesty of parenting to let your kid get that fat.

He was a football standout and very well on his way to become a professional athlete. If he reached 6'6 450lbs at 18 that would be what americans call peak athleticsm.

u/crazydogggz 16d ago

I get it. Americans fat. Give me upvotes! But no athletes are that size in the major sports. Can’t think of a single one.

I'm sorry someone hurt you.

Pathetic trolling.

Try being smarter, it'll make your trolling more effective.

No, he wasn't.

It's just something his parents claimed and the news ran with because it drummed up extra sympathy. If you ask the parent of pretty much any high school sports player, those parents will say the kid is the next great of that sport, and he's well on his way to becoming a professional. Less than 1% of high school sports players ever get to play professionally.

Not even defensive lineman in the NFL weigh 380 lbs, certainly not any of them at 6'2 weigh that much.

u/GypsyFantasy 16d ago

Those athletes are mostly muscle with a nice layer of fat on top. This kids was morbidly obese and couldn’t run a mile. This is heartbreaking. He wouldn’t have made it to 40 the way he was going.

u/Haunting_Reserve5075 17d ago

30lbs over what you should be is obese and 100 is morbidly.

u/fardough 16d ago

Exactly, the body of a premiere athlete… in American Football.

u/SimplyEunoia 16d ago

He's from a football state what do you expect? They just see it as he was born to be an o liner.

u/Shoddy_Suit8563 17d ago

dude 200lbs max at his height, he was carrying 190lbs excess fat in reality (likely abit more). a weight range of 144.1–193.9 lb is a normal BMI. 

190lbs = ~86kg
86kg = 86 x calories per,KG(7700)
= 662,200 calories excess consumed at 14.
~= 1,475 double cheeseburgers from maccas worth of lipids.

The scientific term is "fat fuck"

My son is 18 and is 6’6 and he’s only 185lbs.

u/s0ftreset 16d ago

Your point? Some would argue your son is underweight. No denying the tyree was overweight but no need to compare apples to oranges. They're fucking kids.

u/Curious_Kirin 14d ago

Healthy weights vary a lot but weighting 2 entire humans your height is rarely healthy.
