    I can't tell you how very proud I am of you and your dedication and willpower. It takes COURAGE to wake up and say to yourself, "I'm gonna change NOW." You did it and didn't look back...that was pure courage and I love that!

    As for the 1,000 calories... ya know...I'm learning more and more and more that if you are NOT hungry, why eat? I'm so finished pleasing people on here (especially those on my friends list that tell me to EAT EAT EAT) when I'm not the least bit hungry. I have a very hard time especially when I work nights (I sleep most of the day and go back to work another 12 hours) to reach my goal of 1,800 calories daily. I'm just not going to do it anymore. I'm not hungry so I'm not forcing it. In fact I was getting sick and got acid reflux when I forced myself to get the calories in. That was my mistake.

    I'm just so glad to see someone else post some of the same things I do. I'm just so proud of you... keep smiling and don't listen to anyone when it comes to what is best for YOU. If it is working for you... keep it up!!!! God bless you!

    Congratulations!

    This does not validate eating below 1200 calories. Please note that he was being closely supervised by a physician who was ensuring his safety and healthy on a monthly basis. It would be irresponsible for someone to try this on their own with such extreme parameters (the amount of weight lost in this short of a time while eating this low of calories) without close medical supervision.

    Bravo for doing it the right way and making sure you weren't destroying yourself medically at the same time!

    Hi All,
    Thank you all for your kind words and compliments. I have been overwhelmed by the response to my posting. I hope I have encouraged at least one person to continue on their weight loss journey. If it was easy anybody could do it. Many people never even make the effort. I admire any effort made by anyone trying to lose weight and change their life. I am here to offer any and all who need encouragement. I can share how I did it. Many don't agree that it was the right way but it worked for me. We are all different and our bodies react differently. My results are not typical so don't get discouraged. Disregard the outside influences that cause you to stray from the objection. You are worth the effort, never forget.

    Last, can we drop the sir stuff?? I am not that old but I do appreciate your respect.

    Thanks again,
    Ted

    I am completely inspired by your determination. It proves "one size" does not "fit all" when it comes to diet. I am glad you took your health seriously and just got to work. You also kept it healthy by having this transformation monitored medically. It was surgical results without surgery. Keep it up. Maintenance will take that same determination, that is something I keep forgetting. But you have shown us what is possible, thank you.
