The grey tshirt was taken May 29,2017 and the black was taken July 11,2017

Anytime love it's all bout helping each other not trying to criticize and bring others down....so any advice or help you need I'm here no doubt

I didn't like drinking Protein so I started using it as my hydration drink while walking every morning and then I started drinking two Premier Protein shakes a day for 60g... I don't snake but I eat things like garlic shrimp and broccoli that I make myself

Me now and so I'm happy people enjoyed there rants about my journey and this is me now....and still losing

You were being a hater and you can just stay off my post cause calling me a liar is ridiculous like I'm seeking fame!!! My doctor's don't have a problem so why do people like you?

I disagree. They were saying he wasn't being truthful, which he was. Explain to me how that is encouraging him "to be his best self"?
That was hate. Dismiss it if you want to, but it's obvious that's what it is.

You sir are a MACHINE! You've done incredibly well - please keep us posted on your progress please?

(And in regards to the haters - sometimes I think people get caught up counting others people's blessings instead of their own. Sad but it happens. Just keep letting your light shine [emoji295])

And P.S. don't believe me it doesn't matter LOL cause I still have the most amazing sleep every night....I don't lose a wink over haters

The funny this is about people that hate let me break it down. First off I gained weight after I left the Navy due to being single father, stress etc, doesn't matter... I always knew how to eat healthy, workout etc...just because you aren't doing something right don't come at me... I was 381 April 1st got down to 369 the day of my surgery on April 12th and now I'm 280.... I'm happy I can walk 5 miles a day and drink Water, Protein etc and I love sweet tea I eat I just know not to eat wrong....

I take my journey seriously... I was in the Navy so I know about physical training and I took everything I know with eating things I enjoy....so I don't have to lie for likes.... I'm good regardless

It's been fun doing this and it's paying off so far

I eat Kay's Natural Ceral (I order mine from Walmart.com) with Fairlife milk or Light and Fit Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup of chopped almonds or low fat cottage cheese with blueberries.

How do you make this baked ricotta y'all r talking about?

Looking BEAUTIFUL you doing amazing

WOW!!! Job well done keep up the amazing job [emoji4]

I'm feeling very devastated. I had surgery on 1/30/17 as of today i have only lost 4 pounds. I am eating 600-800 calories, getting 80 grams of Protein and eating less the 40 carbs per day. I drink 96oz of Water and i walk 2-3 miles per day. Can someone please give me advise or support? I never expected weight loss to be so slow.

This forum is a wonderful resource to see and experience the progress and journey of everyone on a similar journey as myself.
Some stories show me all the things I could be doing better. Other stories, make me feel lucky my procedure went well and I am experiencing strong weight loss.
The past few weeks I joined a love yourself valentines challenge which requires weekly weigh ins. I decided to participate to increase my commitment to myself and program.
With the increased commitment, came an increase in weight loss expectations. While I enjoyed a quick drop in weight loss the first couple weeks, it was followed by a two week stall. Even though I know the right answer, stalls are always a mental challenge when you want your efforts to be rewarded.
So today while getting ready for church I put in size 42 pants. It was at that moment I realized how lost in the stall my mental perspective had become. A year ago I was wearing size 54 inch pants. I have lost 10-12 inches around my waste, but yet allowed myself to have to much tunnel vision on my results of the moment.
It was a great lesson for me to learn, so I feel compelled to share it to everyone else who would benefit from the same l insight as well.
Thank you everyone for participating and sharing, you make my journey easier and more enjoyable.
