I have to ask, what do you do about the loose skin when you wear pants? Where does it go?
Not quite sure what you mean. It just hangs down and I put on pants... Not much you can do, it doesn't stick out, it just hangs down. My stomach ends at about the bottom of my watch in that picture with the shirt tucked in.
When I sit down it is noticeable, but standing not really. I don't tuck my shirt in 99% of the time because I am self conscious about it (working on getting over my mental BS about it). I make sure to buy tall length shirts. Hides it well.I know first hand how your life must have changed for the better in every way.
Awesome Job man! Congratulations on your success too!

Breakfast 14 oz boiled red potatoes, mashed with nothing added. I put them in a waffle iron, and they taste better than I remember french frys being. I use some ketchup and a bunch of hot sauce.
1/3 cup of cheese melted on top of one of my waffles (the 14oz makes 2)
2oz of carrots.
Lunch, again potatoes in the waffle iron with ketchup and hot sauce.
3/4 cup of bran flakes. Used to have this as a mid day snack between lunch and dinner, but I would forget to eat it half the time so just started having it with lunch.
Dinner
You guessed it potatoes in the waffle iron with Ketchup and hot sauce.
7.5oz grilled chicken breast. I just add some pepper to this, no salt or anything else.
That is it, nothing else at all during the day. I have had this essentially every day since January 10th.
Once a month I have a chick fil a sandwich but still keep with the 1400 cal.
Ive gone camping a few times this year and swapped out the potatoes for tortillas and just put grilled chicken in them, again staying with the 1400cal.
Ive had Tacos I think 4 times this year, only breaking the 1400cal 3 times I think without checking my notes.
By the end of the year ill have eaten over 1000 pounds of potatoes... I buy 50 pound boxes at a restaurant supply place hah.
Making them is simple, cut up 2 days worth, boil and mash it. Separate it by weight into Tupperware containers so it is easy just to pull it out and toss it in the iron.
What is your plan for maintenance?0 -
What is your plan for maintenance?
Starting to plan that out now. Roughly 3 months away from my goal of 165ish. I've added 115 more Cal's per day to bring me up to 1515. With that extra I've been playingying around with different snacks like fruit and even some beef jerky today.
But right now I'm thinking maybe keep potatoes for lunch and breakfast. Then having a good meal at dinner, to start working in adding in additional long term foods.
Early planning stages at any rate. I do like the simplicity of my meals now but 8ts not a receipe for long term.

Glad you’re thinking about maintenance. I could see some malnutrition concerns with only potatoes long-term. And I’m glad you’re working with your doc on it. Keep up the good work!0

This is amazing. Thanks for the motivation. I have a lot to lose and have been struggling with figuring out what to eat. Possibly having a set menu will help.1

I'm starting AGAIN. Now my weight is up so much...I have 100 lbs to lose. I've been very depressed but am trying to push myself. Your story truly inspired me. Thank you. I too have started eating the same thing everyday with slight variation. It's easier to not have to think about it. I can have my meals ready to go. Congratulations on your tremendous accomplishment.1
