    You are truly an inspiration and I wish you continued success in "hotterville". I say hotterville since I think we are hot overweight; now.

    I'm on a low carb diet at this time, but I'm going to go even lower to try and reach my goal. Could you give me a screenshot into a day of meals that you ate over the 10 months. Did you eat 3 times a day, 6 or whenever hungry?. I want to post my pics in November 2014.

    WOW, did you lost a lot of weight FAST!

    Don't get me wrong, you look great, and I'm very proud of you. Just hope you're not having any physical complications (other than the muscle loss you wrote about) from losing so quickly.

    Good luck with the surgeries, dude. Looking forward to reading your results.

    My standard meal plan for the first 8 weeks were as follows;

    Breakfast
    2 Eggs (fried or an omelette) and 3 slices of smoked bacon
    Lunch
    2 no carb burgers with a bit of cheese
    Dinner
    220g of spicy chicken I made using sundried tomato puree (<1g of carbs), 1/4 of an onion and madras powder.


    I had around 5g of carbs a day - certainly less than 10 and drank only water.

    Remember if you're low carbing you need a multi vit every day which doesn't contain Iron =]

    I hope this helps =]

    The only physical complication I suffer from now is orthostatic hypertension which means when I stand up I go light headed and I've passed out twice because of this... both times in the shower - luckily I sustained no injuries =]

    So..I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but you're, like, totally hot now. Like, I would check you out on the street hot.

    Of course, I would assume that you'd never look at me twice because I'm fat.

    ^^This! Holy cow, Batman! Fantastic transformation. I would definitely be taking more than a second look if I saw you on the streets! :) Congrats on your journey thus far!

    Fantastic Well done dude!

    I have a question, though it is a little personal so I understand if you don't wish to answer or prefer to PM me, but how are you affording the costs of the surgery? Getting that amount of money to me seems like an impossible feat, though admittedly despite graduating this year I am still unemployed. Excess skin is major worry of mine mostly because I just don't see myself ever affording the surgery which is why my current diet plan is to lose on average 2lbs a week (I started a week ago).

    You look fantastic man, really proud, and also really inspired. Any tips and advice would be genuinely appreciated.
    Keep up the great work,
    All the best!

    Got my operation in two days and just posted my final blog post which brings me up to today
    It has pictures of my chest and arms before surgery so you can get an idea of the quality of my skin/problems with skin elasticity etc

    You should be commended for losing all that weight. It's a shame that you can't be rewarded by the medical system by having your surgeries paid for! My hat's off to you!
