Rep Power: 0 | | | Holy cow, talk about motivation and taking control of your life. I'm stunned, very very stunned. You not only lost a ton of weight, but you gained muscle (which I have always argued is very possible with going things the "right" way.) Kick a*s!! |

I will be going back under the knife in a couple of weeks to remove the excess skin and do a thigh lift. I'm prolly looking at around 195-200lbs end weight. Since im currently a 34" I prolly end up a 32" waist.
I'll see if I can post some more pics later tonight. Thanks for all the kind words. |

Rep Power: 15 | | IronMan, wow I am glad I came across this, for the last week or so i've been really down, I only lost 1 pound this past week, since i've been trying to lose weight i've lost 30 lbs in 7 weeks, but about 7 or 8 days ago I just started feeling bloated and that got me down and out for some reason, but after reading your post, you have that drive that many of us should strive for! I just love that qoute:
"You will never hit a plateau in you're weight loss if you attack it like a animal"
I'm gonna attack it! |

It will take a couple months to heal but, when I will post some shirtless pics. its truely crazy how I look even swollen up like I am right now. I've never had a wasboard stomach. |

Rep Power: 13 | | | WOW!! That's really remarkable. I'd be interested to hear how your friends and family have reacted, particularly those who haven't been around much during your journey.
You look great!

Make sure you are hitting the weights as well as cardio...eventhough I truely believe cardio is the key to real fast weightloss. Quote:

David C | honestly its kinda mixed. I've lost some friends and gained some. Some of them couldn't be more happy for me and some of them it has ruined our relationship. |

Rep Power: 23 | | I've heard that happens with weight loss and friends sometimes. To those friends that you have lost, you must have been something to them as a bigger person that you cannot be as a smaller person, in their mind. It's obviously their issue with you. I bet you weren't expecting to lose some friends as you took control of your life and got healthy. I guess it's part of life though, right? Congrats on all your success. I can't wait to see pics of your new body after your surgeries, I hope your very pleased

Rep Power: 0 | | | Thats amazing, you are truly an inspiration - I'm down 45 lbs since May, and I was beginning to think that my rate of loss was unhealthy, but you have inspired me to keep on trucking. I'm considering putting your before & after pics on the wall next to my exercize bike for motivation, thanks again. |

Rep Power: 9 | | Your story is my favorite I've ever read on these forums Ironman.
You were losing 20lbs a month like I did on my last succesful plan which I am going to resume soon thanks to your post motivating me to do so.
With weight loss throughout my life I always seem to get so close to reaching my goals and dreams only to give up or get discouraged near the end of the journey and go right back to where I started.
I believe I won't do that this time and will succeed thanks to finding this forum and your post here.
I believe I can have my dream now finally. |

-Sam | Yeah unfortunately its just part of it I suppose. None the less I wouldn't go back to my old lifestyle even if someone paid me. Quote:

Its just a matter of putting your mind to something and never quiting. Consistancy day in day out is how you loose and continue to loose. You can do it! Go get em'! Quote:

I believe I can have my dream now finally. | Thanks, you can totally do it. I lost at the rate of 20lbs per month right up until I hit goal. I think the key is to always change up your program and make sure you are counting calories all the time. You body will go through periods of adjustment but, I never hit more than a 3-4 day plateau in 12 months. Ofcourse I worked out for hours everyday...haha I think that had alot to do with it too. Thanks so much for your kind words and best of luck on your personal journey, you can totally do it. Mind over matter.
I'm back home healing from my tummy tuck and thigh lift. I'll get some new pics posted up next week when I get my drains pulled. I won't be able to hit the gym again till like mid/late september but, once im cleared I plan on wailing on my midsection.
It should take me another 6 months but, come christmas time or shortly thereafter I should have the body i've always dreamed of. 6pack included. |  | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
