There is another thread talking about my GBS surgery on july 25th. I felt it was a must. I didn't trust myself to be so disicplined. It turns out I was wrong. Just 3 weeks post op I was doing 10-12miles a week and working out for several hours a day while still at a hefty 422lbs. Over the next months I conditioned my
body and my mind to workout on the brink of sickness. I would do this for hours on end. I would count workout weeks ranging in
calories burnt from 12,000-15,000 plus my normal metabolism and daily grind. I got to where I was simply burning 2-3 times the amount of
calories per day I was taking in.
Add that to my vigerous eating schedule. Like clock workout from 7 to 7 everyday 6 meals a day ranging in
calories and getting higher and higher as my workouts increased and my weight lowered. I trained my metabolism to absolutely destroy anything I ate. Once my weight really started dropping I would start to hit walls during workouts if I haden't eaten enough.
By the time I was 7-8 months post op I was eating 3000-3500
calories a day and burning 8. I could clear 50+ miles ran in a 7 day stint and I was hitting the
weights like crazy. I became someone else entirely. I decided it was my mission to loose at a rate that had never been done before. Even in the GBS world my rate of continued loss was unheard of.
I got blood work done every 30 days and had full
body analysis done every 60. I watched as my muscle mass index kept rising and my LBM #'s kept strong. While my water and
fat weight were dropping like
stones. Everyone and their brother was telling me what I wanted to do was impossible not only my rate of loss but, also not loosing muscle mass while dropping so much weight. They all said it was unhealthy and couldn't be done. Yet month after month my weight never slowed and my blood results were outstanding.
The moral of this rant is don't ever ever let anyone tell you something isint possible. Anything is possible if you are willing to sacrifice and do the work. Rain/shine/day/night/snow/ it didn't matter. I worked out like crazy and ate all the time. Its why my metabolism is that of a tri-athlete level now and why my
body isint totally destoryed skin wise from lack of muscle tissue. I've never gotten sick and I feel like superman.
I still have some loose skin because I was literally such a huge fatass but, that will be taken care of with surgery. I took and getting a 6pack(thats my
goal). I already have the upper
abs but, unfortunately I can't get the lower ones until plastics are complete. My skin is just too loose down there. Everything else is fine. My chest/arms/back/legs/ect all are good and strong looking.
You will never hit a plateau in you're
weight loss if you attack it like a animal. I averaged a 20+lbs a month weightloss for the entire duration of my program. You can do it! You can change you're life! Don't let anyone ever tell you any different. Towards the very end of my program I was running 60+ miles a week 3 days of weight training and 2 extra days of calstinicts. I was eating 5,000-6000cals a day. If I didn't I simply couldn't workout at the rate I wanted too.
