1 Year, 34 pounds

jeffpettis

Well it has been 1 year. Haven't logged any food or exercise in the last couple of months because I wanted to see if I could maintain my weight on my own without any help. And yes, it can be done. I really appreciate everyone's support. This site is awesome, but you have to be committed for it to work. You have to want it more than anything else, then use the site as a tool to help you achieve what you set out to do. I didn't have a lot of weight to lose, but it is just as challenging for someone that only needs to lose 30 pounds as someone that needs to lose 100. Don't get discouraged, don't go looking for the "secret" pill, or plan that will "melt the fat away", just be determined. If you mess up one day keep going, don't think just because you ate that whole bag of powdered donuts you just threw it all away, enjoy them and tell yourself you'll do better tomorrow, then do better tomorrow. I know I have a long way to go, and I am in no way an expert on weight loss, but I proved to myself and hopefully a few other people that if you want to change your body nothing is stopping you but you. If you can get fat you can get skinny!

Well that's about enough of that, just wanted to share a little and hopefully this will help someone not to be to hard on their self on their own journey.

Great job!


PS Was putting your new weight on your crotch area intentional? :noway:

jeffpettis

I didn't think you realized that. You look amazing and your body is going to get enough attention!

Just more proof that it works if you use the system. Progress is always so slow, it's hard to keep with it sometimes. I feel like I am never going to lose that pound.

But I come here over and over and see people like you that have stuck with it and it works.

I am a believer!! Good job there!!

Great job! You look amazing!! Liked what you said about the package of powdered donuts :drinker: I've had those days and it's the bouncing back that will help change your life.

Awesome. I think the hotness is caused by the alpha male pose. Looking relaxed and confident. Good job!

Thanks everyone!!! I know it will take some time but some days when I look in the mirror I still see the guy in the first picture. I guess we really are our worst critics! LOL!!!
