Never too late if the party never stops :smile:

Thanks everyone, just to provide an update on where I am. I have now lost 363lbs, I haven’t lost much in the last month due to having surgery done and I am not allowed to lift heavy weight and no running. It’s hard to believe in a few months it will be two years I started this journey. Thank you all for the kind words.

I loved cooking but I had grand illusions of what was actually healthy. I just assumed if it was home cooked it was healthy. Our favorite meal was splitting a pound of pasta with hot sausage ground up in the sauce. Tasted fantastic but doing the math it was like over 3k calories.

I meal prepped because I won’t buy fast food if I have food cooked already at home. I do the online Walmart grocery shopping and don’t buy junk food, that way it’s not in the house. I only drink water, my wife will drink pop still. I always scour YouTube for videos of what healthy meals people are cooking and try to…

I have enjoyed life more in the past year than I probably have in ages. Our vacation to New Orleans was the best vacation we ever took. We have gone to the Caribbean multiple times but because I was so much more active New Orleans was amazing. Joining the gym has been fun too, I am liking lifting weights and my wife likes…

Now I need to go to a high school reunion and see if people recognize me lol

I was still getting busy at my heaviest so I’m not sure lol.

I would be content with maybe them interviewing me for a success story but who am I to pass up the offer to run MFP lol.

Thanks, I hope to check in again soon with more weight lost

Here is a picture. The left was almost my heaviest. The upper right was after I lost 200lbs. The lower right is at 300lbs.

Thanks. It has been very emotional but so rewarding. I feel like a new person with everything I can do!

I am glad I can help and I hope this time around you are more successful than the last time.

Is this group still active?
