Average guy success?!



Recommended Posts

I'm not much for posting and blogging. I did read alot on this site before and after my surgery. I was always very inspired by the before and after success stories with pictures. It occurred to me that I should give back and post mine. I hope they will encourage someone.

I was big every day of my life. I was born 10.5lbs and just ran with it :sad:

I finally realized that you can BS everyone else, but you can't BS yourself. I knew that even though I wasn't extremely obese, I was never going to be able to do it on my own. I knew I would only get heavier. I had never exercised 1 day of my life. I had made the worst food choices I could make. I knew why I was fat. Hell, I'm surprised I wasn't bigger!

Since the surgery, I have truly become a new person. I run 5 days a week. I watch calories very closely. I eat anything and everything but I always try to keep below 2000 calories a day.

I am currently training to run the Las Vegas Marathon on December 6th. I have no doubts I will complete it!

I have encouraged others in my life to run and eat healthier. It feels great to be in a position where people actually listen when I give weight advice.

It's been said before but I will repeat it again...this was the best thing I have ever done!!!

Life is too short to live overweight, unhealthy and miserable.

Thanks to everyone who posts here for being my silent support group.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
