FAT VS. MUSCLE - Take A Look



Recommended Posts

I absolutely LOVE this picture. Look at the difference in size! Just looking at the fat makes me hurt. It looks gross and so uncomfortable, doesn't it? Yuck! And the lean muscle... that represents no more pain, self confidence, strength, and life! Hope you don't mind but I touched up the pic a bit with my thoughts on this.

Hey Girls:

I had the chance to watch the video of my procedure (I'm a surgical tech), the "tour" the cammera took inside me really woke me up!!!. Watching all that fat wrapped around the organs was scary.

I was 250 lbs. at my heaviest and my chest was huge for my 5'4" frame. I was a 40 DDD or F. Now after losing some weight (170 lbs now) I'm a 36 DD.

I had to addmit I ate like a very happy piggy during christmas, but like a good Texan here I go....jump on the saddle again.

Giddy up girls!!! Today is a new day!!!!

"Yesterday is gone ,we only have today...tomorrow only God knows.

YES LORD!!!!!!

NJ Chick - that's a great picture! I love that you keep coming back for inspiration. I saw the NJ forum and was so excited!

My surgeon told me pick up and carry around a 5 pound sack of potatoes every time I lose five pounds. Five pounds seems so piddly until it's put in perspective.

Thanks for the motivation.

Didn't they turn human fat into some great smelling soap in Fight Club?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
