AMazing story! What is TDEE -20% / HelloitsDan's IPOARM?

this is what I'm talking about:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

It's just another path leading in the same direction. Take the time to really read through the thread and give it a try. I'm advocating it because I know it worked for me. I find that it's an approach that is a LOT more tolerable and productive than one where you're expected to eat less, etc.

You, my friend, are frucking bad as hell. *passing a Titan*

Wow, great job! Keep it rolling! Loved the way you put the story together. I wasn't really inclined to scroll down to see the pics before reading like I usually do.

Wow! Thank you for sharing your story. I love hearing all of these success stories. It really helps push me to continue no matter how crappy I'm feeling about what I ate or didn't do that day. We all fall in our slumps but stories like your just keep me going. Thank you friend! You and your wife look great! Keep on keepin on!

I absolutely loved reading your story. Now you're the funny thin guy instead of the funny fat guy. Love to see the progress and hear about the steps along the way that got you where you are now. it looks like you have a wife/girlfriend that was right there with you too. That's wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing your story thus far.

You have done an amazing job. You astound me. Good for freakin' you. I'm so humbled that I can't even put exclamation points where I normally would.

Not to take away from you and your success, but I am so happy you posted the section I am quoting. You rock. Keep on living.

What have I learned that makes a difference?
Trust the people here that don't coddle or baby you. They've been down the road and know what they're talking about. There are a great many people who have given incredible advice, but can't post here any longer because some special snowflake got offended by their posts.

It's a shame. They were some of the folks I've added to my friends list and that I interact with because they give good advice.

This isn't a journey. I hate that term. This is living. Calling it a journey implies that there is an end/destination.

That being said, no one here can do it for you. Not on this website, not your friends, not even your family. At the end of the day, each and every day, you're accountable for you. Make the decisions that you need to make, or don't. If you want to be healthy, you can. You just have to be an active participant in making the move. It isn't magic and you can't find success in a pill, on a forum, or on TV. You've gotta dig down inside and figure out how bad you want it.

Awesome job!!

Call Dr Oz and tell him your story. That would be the best episode, ever. Also Ellen, People Magazine, and Judge Judy. You know what Imma sayin, wink wink.
