Discussion on FAT Fetts within the Boba Fett Armor forum, part of the Star Wars Original Trilogy Bounty Hunters category; Okay guys my Fett costume is coming together but im
Okay guys my Fett costume is coming together but im a little nervous.
Im 200 lbs and 6 feet tall. I have a bit of a beer gut.
Hopefully I dont look all shabby in my costume.
I noticed a lot of you are smaller and skinny.
If your an overweight Fett please post your pics so I can check them out.
Thanks.
Here's 6 Ft. 225 lbs.
I'm about 6' 2" and between 215 and 220 lbs (I use to weigh around 240)
6'1" 250 on a good day. This was before I fixed my vest. It fits much better now.

The girth belt and ammo belt help quite a bit with the protruding gut syndrome. You could also get a cinch from your local drug store for about 20 bucks. That may help too.
You guys all seem pretty average... but then you have freaks like me who are 5'9" and 120lbs.
6' 6" and 190 lbs
I might also fall into the 'hefty' category, but I refuse to wear my costume until I lose a few pounds. It's important that everything fits properly, and doesn't stretch over your body.
Not a proud pic, but this is one of the last times I wore the costume:
Also, and this is a pet peeve of mine concerning Fett costumers, is that there should be a neck. The helmet should not sit directly on the collar armor. This can be achieved, even for those of us without necks, by adjusting the helmet liner, and making sure the collar armor is snug on the vest.
BN...I agree with the neck comment. Mine appears that way because that was the first time I had everything on. By my first outing, I had everything sitting the way it should, and I had a neck.
Boba Fatt here too. I am deliberatly not putting on the whole suit untill I am happy with my weight. Plus I have a lot of parts to paint still.
I'll have a custom done for November, so I won't be innacurate or anything, but I'd really like to drop a few pounds so when I have a Fett wearable I won't be Boba Fatt. Oh, and I'm about 5'8" and 225 lb. I'll need to get out into the battlefield a bit more often and stop hanging around the base with the free donuts.
I'm about BatNinja's size proportionally.
I am actually working on some armor designs that are slightly oversized to compensate. Will post pics once I have them painted. Essentially about 2 inches greater area over each armor piece.. PS Buckeye how exactly did you "fix" your vest?
Im built like that too. I'm 6ft 2** pounds. I carry all my weight in my gut ( why have a six pack when you can have a keg) and my big noogin. I do not look my wieght cause I carry it well. Anyway I am debateing on waiting to makeing my suit or just go ahead and make my suit ( give me a little more insentive in my weight lose splurge I am on ATM ). I might go ahead and just make mine oversized anyway, it would be hard to build and not wear.
I had to sew an additional strip of velcro diagonally across the bottom of the vest to get it to close a little tighter around my gut. It looks a lot better when it closes correctly.
i actually used boba as my weight loss motivator.
i'm 5'9". when i started this project i was around 220, now i'm around 175.
the jeremy bulloch workout plan! i actually went so far as to join weight watchers to look better in my fett suit!
Maybe we could put together a list of us 'stocky' Fetts, and post weekly progress on a weight-loss plan! My goal is to get down to 200 before Celebration 4.
Add me to that list! What better way to lose weight than doing so with fellow Mandos?
Well I'll start out the stocky Fetts. I'm 5'6" and 170lbs. My plan is to be 155 by C4. I'm planning to lose fat and gain some muscle. Yes, I have a beer gut.
So that's what got ya started on WW. Very intersting indeed!Originally Posted by tk7602

Well, I am too broke for WW...so I think I'll go for FF! Fat Fighters!
We should do a before and after pics.
Add me to that list! What better way to lose weight than doing so with fellow Mandos?well, i did the online version, which is a LOT cheaper than the meetings, and doesn't involve being the only guy in a room full of womenWell, I am too broke for WW...so I think I'll go for FF! Fat Fighters!
but the parts that really worked well for me weren't really even WW specific. logging everything i ate, and all the exercise i got, weekly weigh-in, and posting weekly updates in livejournal/myspace/etc...
so the part about weekly progress is a really good idea! start up a myspace group or something... bubbafett... and we can all check in weekly.
my initial goal was 170, so i'm REALLY close now. i'll actually probably go a bit lower since there's still some squish that could stand to go away. when i started, 170 seemed reeeeaaaaallllly far off. now i'm thinking 160 seems more like it.
but seeing as i just had to get a medium vest from batninja, i'd say it has been working well.
Why do I all of a sudden feel like I'm eaves dropping on a conversation my wife would be having with her friends
I always pictured Mandos conversing about "manly" stuff

The Myspace group sounds like a great idea! Of course that means I'll have to actually join Myspace.
Maybe I should start a thread for skinny Fetts. I'm 6ft, 155lbs.
Okay, I'll start a new thread in the Sarlacc Pit. Feel free to post your current weight, your height, and your goal weight. Each week, we can post our numbers, and calculate our progress!
I'm in that sounds like fun!
I like that idea.
Like Turo, I am 5'6" and used to weigh around 177 lbs., but now I'm around 164 lbs. and love'n my shrink'n gut.
I do a slimfast shake and a glass of oj for b-fast, a salad for lunch, and a sensible dinner. I snack on dried fruit and nut mix in between when I get hungry and for energy for my workouts. And I cut out the sodas and now only do juice or water.
Plus, hitting the gym at 4:30 a.m. weekdays and co-coaching the Cross Country team at our school and running at least 4 miles everyday with the kids doesn't hurt either.
So guilty as charged!
I'm in for posting!
Cruzer - were gonna be twins.
What's your goal? I'm afraid that if i gain lean muscle my weight wont change. But as long as i loose my gut I'm cool.
I'm doing the diet were I eat at least 6 times a day. very small fist size portions. I drink tons of water and coffee. for every 4 glasses of water I drink a day, i treat my self with a cup of coffee. I dont drink soda or anything carbonated. I stay away from anything that has sugar.

First 'weigh-in' is next Monday!
Sounds good Turo!
Do we have any nutritionists here on the boards?
I need to loose as much as I can and gain as much strength and cardio endurance as possible. Here are the fitness goals I'm shooting for and events I'll be tested in:
Sit-ups: 50 in one minute
Push-ups: 55 untimed
300 sprint: 45 seconds
1.5 miles: 10 minutes
Clones unite!

I gotta get back into shape now that the temps out here have come down from dangerous levels. When I lived in Baltimore, I once got my bike all the way up to 40 mph ... it would be cool to try and do that again!
I'm in.
Winter is coming. Now is not the time to add any extra...
This might work as we'll have a "Fettwork" of other people to rely on!
Well, I signed-up guys. I am in the 5'-6" group, and while I am a little over the current standards, I feel my goal is certainly attainable.
Any insight, and exercise tips would be a great add!
I've been riding my bike, while it has been sporatic, it has also helped a bit. I have been fluxuating around 178-182, but definately want to get down to 160 or so. Like Turo though, I'll gladly trade some muscle mass for my soft mid-section.
I signed up in the other thread, but I though I would weigh in here too. (Bad pun intened.
According to the chart at the doctors office, I am considered borderline obease. At 5'-10" and 237 lbs. I am 57 lbs. over the "ideal weight" for a 5'-10" male, which is 180 lbs.That chart is a load of ****.

nice suit Gater!!
Thanks Arturo.
I strongly agree with that right there. In high school I was able to leg press 700 lbs and squat 8 rep @ 405 lbs ... my legs really bulked up and are the prime reason why I'd be considered overweight.
Gator ... I'll second what Turo said: you done a great job with thatright thre, and it looks great on you!
I am 5'7-5'8. A year ago I weighed 213. Today I weigh 167. Weight Watchers and Exercise helped me lose all that weight. I lost about 40 lbs in 4 months and 46lbs overall so far. I don't think I can lose much more weight as my body is already pretty muscular and there's not much fat left to lose.
I'm 6'2" and 220-225 depending... I'd like to get down to 200 or so.
I'm 6'5" and 260. I would like to get down to 230 or 225.
I've gained 10 pounds since I have started this project! I've been sitting around the house with my broken foot working on it, instead of working out! (Cop out!) I'm sure my recent diet of hoards of halloween candy didn't play a part in this!
I am a bit nervous too dawning a Boba/Jango costume and id like to see some pics (if anybody out there is around my size) I'm between 250-260 i wear a size 46/48 pants and do have a lil bit of a gut as well BUT I stand 6'4" and a friend of mine said that my height will hide the gut in the suit, does anyone agree with this theory?
i'm 6'5" and 184, hate me
-=QuinN!
I'm 5'9'' and 170 pounds of geek muscle.
I'm just a freak. 5'9" 120lbs.
Man I feel fat just talking about getting into my Fett suit.
that chart is ****! i'm nearly 5'10", and i'm about 145. with my frame and metabolism, i couldn't hit 180 if i tried.According to the chart at the doctors office, I am considered borderline obease. At 5'-10" and 237 lbs. I am 57 lbs. over the "ideal weight" for a 5'-10" male, which is 180 lbs.

Yes, ancient scholars maintain that the "chart's" origins are hidden in myth and legend. Ancient historians agree that the chart most likely surfaced during the height of the Roman Empire. It then decided that it would stick around, like the plague, and later would be lost in the sands of time. Ten years ago, while on a dig in the Detroit desert, the chart surface again and now insists to hang in doctors offices and it has even made its way into the text books of our young childrens schools!
