Thank you.



Congrats on your weight loss, I am curious, as A guy that started close to the same weight as you if you tracked your weight loss as you went and what that looked like from month to month, I am five weeks out from surgery and down 32 , 42 from 1 week pre op diet. Wishing you continued success.

Thank you Maggie.

You look great! Keep it up! I’m one week pre op! I’m so excited for this change and a better me!


So, you’ve maintained your weight loss for the past five years then, right? That’s truly amazing. Anybody seeing you now would never guess that you were once obese. Your body literally restored itself through process and disciplined workouts. Was excess skin an issue (because it sure doesn’t look like it was)? I’ll bet you get a lot of second looks now...it’s a mind bender to wonder if those same people would give you the time of day when you first started out just bc your body was bigger. Your heart and soul are the same.

You really shaped yourself into Mr. America. You’d have my vote.


Wow you look great! Well done x

Yes I have done a good job of keeping the extra weight off. It's been a lil over 5 years and I have stayed disciplined. No extra skin. I work out constantly and whole your losing weight you tighten the skin as you lift weights. I'm thrilled still til today. That surgery saved my life. Thank you.
