Way to Go! Best success story I've come across. Thank you for sharing it and especially the way you shared it. You were right, children look up to their Daddy's. You my friend, just entered "hero" status. Hi five! :drinker: (water- lol)

Fantastic job well done!

Just one thing,,,too much protein may not be a good thing. High protein consumption is associated with high IGF-1 levels...which in turn has high correlations with certain cancers. RDA is 0.8 grams per kilo of body weight.

I loved reading your story! It must feel amazing to actually feel a part of your daughter's life (not that I'm saying you weren't before). I know I get winded playing with my neice/goddaughter and nephew, and I can't wait until I have the stamina to chase after them. Thanks for sharing!

By sharing your story, you have confirmed to me that I am on the right track to be a more active mum with my children. Congratulations on your successes.

Awesome Job, you look great. It is really cool that you are able to get your daughter to want to work out with you and live a healthy lifestyle. Too often I think back to how I was raised on Pizza, Ice Cream, Dessert, Chips, Dip. Food was a reward, (prize) and I have brought that right into my life. At 48, I am sick and tired of being fat and uncomfortable and am doing something about it. 61 lbs down and 187 to go. Fit by 50 is the goal. and you are a great inspiration. Keep up the good work.

You are AWESOME, Beefy!! I'm so darn proud of you!! Keep up the amazing work. It's a lifestyle, right? (How much did you used to want to punch people in the face that used to tell you that you didn't need to be on a diet but a "lifestyle change"??) You're a major success, my friend!!
