So, I have been feeling pretty good lately. I haven't been getting much sleep, and I think I know why now. My life is a mess. I keep pretending it isn't, but it is. I have to come to face the reality of what is.

One year ago I was on my way to see Chris Powell, and David Smith. Chris helped David lose 401 pounds in a little over 2 years. Since then, I have myself dropped 100 pounds, and put 30 back on. I have had a really rough year, but I got through it with the help of a few close friends. It has been serious roller coaster ride from bliss, to wanting to kill myself, and now somewhere in the middle. I can't help but to look back on this year and realize what an utter failure it has been. From saying I was going to do this and that, and never following through.

That has been a huge struggle in my life. I never follow through on anything. I go balls to the wall for a while and the sabotage it. It is a wonder I have any friends at all. I have put the ones I love dearly through so much, and I am sorry. I haven't been the friend I should have been. I have been very selfish, in that I was most of the time I wondered what I could get out of it. Most of all I have not been a good role model to my nephew, which is the most important thing in my life.

I am going to try very hard to be a good friend to those that have stood beside me through all the highs and lows, and most importantly show my nephew a better way of life. I always try to give the best advice I can to people, and most of the time it is recived well, although I don't apply it in my own life.

With some plans in the works, I am hoping this year will be a break through year for me. The first one in to quit smoking, with a very dear friend of mine. I know that with each others support we will win!! I also am going to try my very best to go back on the diet and get my ass into the gym. I need to lose this weight once and for all and stop using it as a crutch. I am worth the effort that is going to take. even if some things in my life (squad) has to take a back seat in acheiving this goal.

That is all!!

Ok so it has been quite a while since I posted. The EKG monitoring came back ok, as did the blood labs. I am getting back into the game finally. I don't know why it has been so hard to start again. I am starting the Keto diet tomorrow. 1 day at a time, 1 meal at a time. I'm going to go hard for 12 weeks. For the first few weeks I am only going to walk for about 30 mins a day or ore depending on how I feel. I know that is not a lot, but gaining the weight back has really made me struggle. I will post updates every day, and will weigh in on Mondays. I will be using ALRI Tri-Lean system, along with JW. I got some Vanilla PB Isolyze, and it tastes great. I will also be looking into taking some other Species products as well, like Arthrolze, and Omegalyze. Anyway weigh in tom!!

So I had a rough 2 weeks. I got suspended from the rescue squad, my gf broke up with me, and I was denied financial aid for going back to school. Needless to say I stopped the diet, because I went back to a very dark place.

However when I woke up yesterday, something clicked in my head. I think I am finally in the right state of mind to do this diet. I have made excuse after excuse, and I'm sure people are getting tired of it.

So today is day 2 on the Keto diet Dave has. Feeling pretty good so far, I had the lo carb headaches yesterday, and a slight one today.

I am also using ALRI tri-lean system, and JW. I took 1 hyperdrive with breakfast, 2 zerostims with meals 2 and 4, 1 TX with meal 3, and 1 JW and 2 LD with my last meal. Even though I didn't take everything I was supposed to take I could thell they were working. My body was on fire. I had to crank the AC down and turn on the ceiling fan to get cool enough to go to bed. Today I plan on taking all the amounts today that it called for. I might need to get a few sweat bands.

For the first few weeks or so I am going to do at least 30 mins low intensity cardo on a tread mill a day. Then I am going to step it up and start lifting some weight, hopefully I can keep some of this muscle I have built up for being so big.

I also want to thank John Romano, for listening to all my excuses, and trying his best to help me see I was better than what I believed. Your words do not go unheard. Thanks bro!

Last year I lost 100 pounds in 4 months, so I think it is absolutely doable. Plus I'm doing Keto, we all know that it is the best fat loss diet ever! As long as I don't die from very low carbs, HAHA

Well here it is Day 3 and I am feeling surprisingly well. Last time I went on the Keto diet 2 days into it I was feeling like a pile of shit. I still have a nagging headache, but other than that I feel pretty good. I guess the TriLean and Jungle Warfare is keeping me feeling good. I weighed in last night, finally, my starting weight is 601 pounds, no that is not a misprint. Here is to living my life finally, and getting out of this hell of being super morbidly obese. I have set a goal of losing 200 pounds by next Olympia, and a very good friend has told me if I hit that, he will pay my way, and take me to the after party. But I am doing this for more than that. I am 32 years old, and haven't even began to live my life. I know this is going to be one long journey, but in the end I know it will be so worth it.

Funny thing though, I keep getting advice from overweight people on how I should be eating. I tell then I am having 6 whole eggs for breakfast in the morning, and I get the whole, "To much cholesterol" bs. Then I tell then I am only getting carbs from nuts and salads, and I am told "You can't take carbs out, your body will fight it." I even had someone who had a gastric bypass tell me I was not doing the right thing to get healthy . . . REALLY? It is funny how overweight people think they know what it best to lose weight. It fucking trips me out. I need to go do some reading now, so I can school these people on the reality.

You are going to hear it straight from the horses mouth. Fat people are lazy!! No big surprise there. We make excuses time and time again, shit just read my thread, and you can see that. I know there is other issues at hand. I for one was so severely depressed the thought of suicide was only a bottle of pills away. Sure there is other issues such as thyroid, and genetic problems, but I think that is no excuse. Sure it might make you 20-30 pounds over weight, but it means that you just have to work a little harder than the "Gifted" people to get it off. So stop fucking complaining and put down that double cheeseburger, large fries, and milkshake. Get you lazy ass up and go buy some salad and some chicken breast, and go to the gym. You don't need to be Mr. or Mrs. Olympia today or ever, but you need to remove all excuses. It comes down to YOU, and YOU only. 1 meal at a time, 1 day at a time, and in no time soon you will finally be living your life to the fullest.

I leave you with this . . . It is possible

No extremes man. I am going to go to my doctor on a regular basis and get check-ups. I actually lost that weight by doing a carb cycling diet, nothing crazy. I know the weight loss will slow at times, but me being so big the first couple hundred will roll off like butter.

I didn't get a lot of support at home either. I did it buy portion control, keeping my protein high, low carbs, and a cheat meal once a week. Lots of cardio and intense weight training. Did it in about 9 months.

My family would say "your getting to thin" and others would say "is it intended?" People would wonder if I was sick or something. Too funny in a way.

Oh man I am in a very good state of mind. Something clicked when I got up Monday morning, and it is still there. I know I can do this, there will be no quitting. I have quit far to many times before, and cannot fail again.

Funny this new girl I am talking to asked me where I see myself in 10 years. The only thing I could say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, was I want to be alive, and that was the only goal in my life today. I'm not going to day dream about where I want to be, because everyday life changes, and everyday I am one day closer to living my dream of losing this weight once and for all

Day 5 update

Everything is going as planned, mentally strong. I might as well post up my diet.

1st meal - 6 whole Omega 3 eggs
2nd meal - 2 scoops Isolyze w 1/3 cup almonds
3rd meal - 7oz of whiting fish w 200g of green beans and 2 tbls of olive oil
4th meal - 2 scoops Isolyze w 1/3 cup almonds
5th meal - 7oz chicken breast w 200g of green beans and 2 tbls of olive oil
6th meal - 2 scoops Isolyze w 2 tbls of olive oil

This has been my diet for the last 5 days with the occasional rotating of meals. Always same 1st and 6th meal though.

I'm feeling really good. No blah feelings, had a headache for the first 3 days. That was it though. Not feeling run down at all. I think that has something to do with with ALRI TriLean, maybe? Anyway I'm doing good. Thanks to John Romano for the shout out on After Hours, and to the whole whack pack for being so cool about it.

So Day 6 is in the books!! I rocked it! I had to check with John to see if I could drink diet soda, lol. I just needed something diffrent than water for 1 meal. So I had a diet MtDew. Damn it tasted sweet as hell! I have no clue how I drank the straight stuff from time to time. So my diet was pretty much them same today. Except I had almonds with my shakes because I ran out of mac nut oil, and I tried olive oil . . .uhh gross. I also replaced the green beans with romaine lettuce 5oz. That seemed to work a little better with controlling my hunger. I get hungry more after eating real foods, a lot less after doing the shakes. Not sure why that is. Still feeling good, but my energy levels were a little low today. Probably had to do with me running all around the house this week hollering "Yeah Buddy" lol . yes I am a bit dorky as well. John also tried to trick me today, asking me if I was going to do a cheat meal tomorrow. I let him know I was not supposed to do that until after my second week. He said I see your paying attention.

[quote=RwidmarkJr;465842]So Day 6 is in the books!! I rocked it! I had to check with John to see if I could drink diet soda, lol. I just needed something diffrent than water for 1 meal. So I had a diet MtDew. Damn it tasted sweet as hell! I have no clue how I drank the straight stuff from time to time. So my diet was pretty much them same today. Except I had almonds with my shakes because I ran out of mac nut oil, and I tried olive oil . . .uhh gross. I also replaced the green beans with romaine lettuce 5oz. That seemed to work a little better with controlling my hunger. I get hungry more after eating real foods, a lot less after doing the shakes. Not sure why that is. Still feeling good, but my energy levels were a little low today. Probably had to do with me running all around the house this week hollering "Yeah Buddy" lol . yes I am a bit dorky as well. John also tried to trick me today, asking me if I was going to do a cheat meal tomorrow. I let him know I was not supposed to do that until after my second week. He said I see your paying attention. So that is it for today. I am one more day to reaching my goal! Oh, and an awesome trip to the O and Crazy Horse!! [quote=RwidmarkJr;465842]

Day 9

Everything is going very good. I ate a NY strip for dinner, along with a romaine salad. That steak melted in my mouth! I've been craving beef for the last few days, I heard the Keto diet will make you crave meat. I am having no other craving what so ever. I went shopping tonight at Sam's Club, walked through the potato chip isle, and actually got a nasty taste in my mouth. Lord people telling how this diet is bad for me again. I guess I need to get Dave's video for future diet references. Haha

My motivation song of the day . . It is Hip-Hop so be warned for those who don't like it, lol Not all the lyrics fit, but the idea is what I was getting at.

I guess I was so tired I should have explained it better. I'm not tired of the diet, lol. It was just a long day yesterday. I had my hearing at the rescue squad to face charges another member brought against me. Then after celebrating a little, I got a call from my sister and had to take her to the ER. She is fine, but I didn't get to sleep till I was way dead tired, lol.

I was over 422 lbs back in 2004, and I had to go to a meat warehouse and weigh myself where they weigh entire sides of beef. Then I got a Tamita (or is it Tanita?) scale and they go up to 450 lbs. Maybe there is one that goes up to 600?? :mad:

I'll be honest with you, if you are wearing sweat-pants and t-shirts, you can gain 50 lbs and never notice the difference. :no:

Get a scale that can weigh your 600 lbs or ask at a truck-stop or railroad yard if they will let you weigh yourself as freight every day. UNLESS you are constantly weighing yourself and dealing with your BULLSHIT AND DENIAL, you are never going to lose weight. :dunno:

BE ACCOUNTABLE. WEIGH YOURSELF. Those Twinkies and donuts are not sugar-free. :) I lost 178 lbs and I am down to size 38 pants and look halfway normal. I still need to lose another 50.

Difference is that my metabolism is much slower and it takes a lot longer to lose weight!!! :no:

I never have seen a gym that has a scale that goes up to 600 lbs. unless you are working out at a railroad freight yard. Good for you that you have found such a gym.

Feeling better is all about DENIAL. I prefer to see cold hard facts and numbers. That is for real. I can do a lot of things and feel better, but that does not mean that I have lost any weight.

Good luck to you, I don't hear the genuine sound of a reality check but if you are 600 lbs and are losing weight, then keep doing it. As John Lennon sang, "Whatever gets you through the night, it's alright!"

The gym has one of those scales used to measure packages, I think it goes to 1000 pounds, so I am luck to have found that. I just know from my past failures at dieting, that If I were to weigh every week I would not be happy at small losses. It helps me focus more on the diet if I'm not thinking, "Man I only lost 2 pounds this week" if that makes any sense, lol
