Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it. Believe me when I say, if I can do it, anyone can.

Please show him!! I was in a similar boat. It's rough, but not impossible. I'm proof of that. Instead of being addicted to food, I became addicted to progress. Addicted to seeing if any more changes happened to my body. It's always exciting. Feel free to add me and/or msg me if you need any help!

If stuff hurts I would go to the doc and change your diet first. Add exercise little by little. My experience is losing weight is mostly diet. Once your diet is in check then start adding whatever exercise you like. I like weights, so I lift. But that's just me. I really didn't have pain starting off. But I was obviously…

wow!! thanks for all the kudos!! It's extremely flattering. Lets see if I can answer a few of these questions... YES! It's pretty nuts. Weight problem runs on my mother's side of the family. My dad's is pretty fit. My sister got the good genes lol. I'm fine with it now, though. Just means I have to work harder. :smile:…

I agree with this now looking back 20/20, but in the beginning I was hard headed. Helped get me going though. Like I said, if it didn't get better I would've gotten the machine. And thanks!

Actually it was almost 5 months, but yea pretty much. As the calories have gone up and weight has gone down, the rate has come down too, obviously. I'm averaging around 2-2.5/week now, which I am pretty happy about. no loss of energy, no hair loss, etc. I attribute that to keeping my protein being higher than most on VLCD,…

oh it should be noted I started at 400lbs. was prescribed VLCD and am currently and carefully upping my calories little by little as time goes on.

my food diary is open if you wanna see... I drink lots of water. about a half gallon of clear water and about a half gallon in misc liquids. I do 20:4 IF because it works for me. I try to keep my protein 0.8-1grams to lean weight, which is around 200 (most always fail this btw. I just can't get it all in yet but I get…

I'm at 111lbs lost. hit 100lbs on 4/24. Started the first of the year. So far so good. I still track my food daily, along with workouts. Not at maintenance weight yet, but I'm sure I'll continue to log everything. It's been a heckuva ride, that's for sure...

I'm 6'4" started at 400lbs. I'm now at 292lbs with significant muscle gain. People started asking me around the 330 mark. Whoever didn't then, have definitely asked now. Still see myself as 400 though, even with me buying new clothes, and actually seeing the results in the before/after pic I continue to take. One of the…
