Back at ya!

Man trust me I am right there with you. On June 7th Of this year I weighed in at 527lbs. My Cardiologist and my Cardio Wellness Nurse told me if I don't lose weight and get healthy I wouldn't make it to 40... I'd be lucky to make it another two years. It hit hard, because I'm 34 years old and I have already had open heart…

Nelly's version of Die a Happy Man

Feel free to add me. I'm a daily logger, my food diary is open for people on my friends list and I generally try to "Like" everything posted and comment as well.

Believe me when I say I know how you feel. I from the US so I'm not sure what the stone/pound difference is, but I'm right there with you. Last year at the age of 33 I was diagnosed with Hypertension and they discovered I had an aortic aneurysm. I was a 450+ pound heavy smoker and a social drinker. Basically I was a…

I have been drinking a very simple smoothie for breakfast and an evening snack the past week or so... 3/4 of a 34g scoop of Muscletech Premium Gold Vanilla Ice Cream Whey Protein Powder 6 ounces of Natural Premium Florida Orange Juice Handful of Ice 208 calories 26g protein and it tastes just like an orange vanilla ice…

Honestly I'm not sure what my diet is. I think maybe a combination of multiple diets. I cut out all breads, rice, pasta's, regular potatoes, and sweets with the exception of a piece or two of dark chocolate daily for the antioxidants. I drink water and diet pepsi. I'm trying to cut out the diet pepsi but it's harder than…

I use Muscletech Whey Protein Powder. It's Ice Cream flavored so I use Almond Coconut Milk, a small banana, tablespoon of Almond Butter with a handful of ice. Tastes just like a peanut butter banana milkshake.

I lost 39lbs and 4 inches of my waistline in 4 weeks by simply cutting out all breads, rice, pastas, regular potatoes and sweets. I'm limited on exercising because i have medical issues that prevent it at the moment. I have a Cardio Wellness Nurse and Dietician who both keep a close eye on my diet. I eat lean meats, a lot…

When my doctor said lose weight and get healthy or die that's all the motivation I needed.

Feel free to add me if you would like to.

I generally have two hard boiled eggs without the yolks and a protein smoothie.

I usually go with Sargentos Low Fat String Cheese, Low Fat Cottage Cheese with Blueberries or 2 Celery Sticks with a teaspoon of Almond Butter.

I eat them hard boiled without the yolks. The yolks are my favorite part, but they're not part of my diet.

Smoke free*

I have been some free since May. I had an aortic aneurysm and had to have open heart surgery. 50/50 survival rate because of weight and being a smoker was an eye opener. Quit cold turkey the day before surgery and still fight urges...however my desire to live kills the urges now.

What motivates me is life. Back in May I had an aortic aneurysm and had to have open heart surgery. My heart surgeon gave me a 50/50 survival chance. During recovery my wife kicked me out of my home and I moved back around my family. I was reminded of what I have to live for and that is my family. It's a frustrating…

Not going to risk it*

My family tends to go crazy at Holiday gatherings. They really don't care about calories, or they fact most of them are overweight. I'm trying extremely hard to get healthy so I'm going to risk a set back by going over my calories one day.

Definitely not alone. Friend request sent.

On top of being very overweight I had an aortic aneurysm which caused me to have a risky open heart surgery in May. They told me basically it can take up to two years for my chest bone to heal properly. They piled on restrictions and limitations. I'm finding it difficult to find exercise other than walking that won't put…

I learned the hard way to appreciate every day. If you wake up appreciate it and make the most out of every situation and learn from it.

Absolutely. Even when it is raining and cold it can still be a beautiful day. I try and think of something positive when I wake up. If all else fails look at it like this...you woke up and that right there makes it a beautiful day.

Very sorry for your loss. It's bad enough that you lost your father, but it's also bad you have little to no support system at home.

Good luck! Feel free to add me if you would like.

That's very true, but you should never let peoples opinions shake your confidence. You might not see it but there is always someone who notices it.
