    williamrjomes2 got a reaction from nolagirl in What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"   
    Don't really have a "final" straw. More a series of events in my life. When i was 17, my mother took my friends and I to six flags. I was able to fit on most rides, but one ride i got in the seat and couldnt buckle the overhead harness. It took 3 workers to get me in the seat. Two of the workers pushed on the overhead thingy while the 3rd worker buckled me in. I held the ride up for a few min. Pretty embarassing moment. But I was 17, i brushed it off and laughed about it. Since that day I have yet to attempt to go on any rides. Now that I have a 5 month old daughter, I would love to take her on roller coasters/rides, when old enough. I pretty much wanna be able to run around the yard with her and not be in pain(4 herniated disc) or sweating like a beast. I wanna be able to buy clothes in the mall, instead of shopping at certain stores because they have a " Big n Tall" section. I wanna be able to sit in a booth at a resturaunt with out the table in my gut. I want a healthy lifestyle for my family. My cholesterol has been creeping up. Both parents are diabetic, which im not YET. Blood pressure is still normal. I'm not on any medications. I wanna take control of this "disease" before it gets outta control. Sorry for the rant. So many other things I miss doing.

    Eat for purpose not for pleasure. That's one I've seen before and is engrained in my head.

    Seriously, someone using AMA in conjunction with Hospital and Discharge would mean against medical advice in anyone's eyes who had anything to do with medical field. Totally understandable and justified. He apparently is just using a different acronym. You are brilliant AND look great! No worries!!

    williamrjomes2 got a reaction from Clementine Sky in Keto vs paleo??? Have you ever tried it?   
    A quick history about myself. I was sleeved about five years ago. My weight on surgery morning was 392lbs. I got down to 252lbs about 9 months after. Fast forward to 5 weeks ago I was 288.8 lbs, I was gaining weight way to quick the past year. As of this morning I'm down thirty pounds in 5 weeks and I feel great. This whole30 diet is more or less a reset button instead of a "diet". I have minimal cravings and I'm able to eat good tasting food thats filling and the food is clean all while still losing weight with minimal exercise. Please at least look into whole30. Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions. I will try my best to help anybody I can.

    Whole30 is very similar to the Paleo diet. Your not counting calories. You can have protien, fruits and veggies. No dairy, no sugar or sweetners, no Pasta. Whole30.com has tons of information available, such as food shopping list, things that are allowed and not allowed. Check it out. It's definitely worth a read.

    I couldn't say it any better. It's def. a life style change. You have to want it more then the next person. One of the first things my Dr. said to me after surgery was "The easy part is done. Now starts the hard part." Basically saying taking a portion of your stomach out is easy, adjusting your life is the hard part. That statement has stuck with me. Take it day by day and give 110%
