just wanted to share
 
well iknow most people will not give a **** but its a huge deal to me so i wanted to share!

well for those of you who know me you know that im a bigger guy. ive been big for a good portion of the 24 years i been around. well this past march i just got sick and tired of it. i weighed myself and was between 296-298..

well after that i said screw it and put myself on a diet after i dropped some weight from just diet i started walking 2 miles a day.

2 weeks ago i got a call from my friends gf saying were taking matt out ziplining for a surprise bday! i checked it out and saw there was a weight requirement! 70-250lbs! i ws like **** since i was 267 at that point. she said that the company said a few lbs over is ok but no more than that! well the ziplining trip is this coming friday and as of this morning im 252! im really excited to try this out ive never done something like this so yea lol.

but i can say so far that im happy i decided to change my life for the better. i went from 44 inch jean size down to a 36! and from 2xl shirts to fitting in some large shirts! i just cant wait to hit my final goal of 220ish im already over half way there!

Thanks for ready i just had to share!


btw here are before and after pics i know pics do more justice than just words. first one is my fat ass off to the left all alone at an njfboa meet last summer and the second one i took just today!

79T/A 05-17-2011 12:31 PM

Man, I've been fighting myself for the last year BEGGING to see 250 and not even close yet! Excellent work! Keep going!

thunder 05-17-2011 01:23 PM

good work man. Losing weight isnt that hard but then keeping it of gets hard, atleast for me.

88WS-6 05-17-2011 01:27 PM

Nice job. You probably took off 1/2 of a tenth in the 1/4 mile too.

JL8Jeff 05-17-2011 02:32 PM

Yeah, I thought you looked leaner when you stopped by last week. My brain didn't figure it out right away, too much messing around with brake fluid and gasoline with 2 stroke the last couple of weeks! :lol: Keep it up!

V 05-17-2011 02:52 PM

good work. im trying to lose a few pounds by summer, i know how its not that easy.

BullittSVT 05-17-2011 02:56 PM

emolineaux 05-17-2011 03:48 PM

hahaha my buddy at work says the same thing to me. he can eat everything and anything and not gain a pound. i look at something and i gain it lol.

Just takes alot of determination to get the job done. the past 2 weeks have been hell trying to lose enough to be able to go ziplining. but after that i dont have to push as hard but cant slack either. still have a good 30-40lbs to go once i hit 250

7998 05-17-2011 04:14 PM

Thats great man congrats. Losing is tough trust me I know I gained 15 lbs from quitting smoking. Damn those bacon cheeseburgers.

98CamaroSS 05-17-2011 04:26 PM

Much congrats :nod: I'm in the same boat as you and its tough as hell to lose, but you just inspired me and will attempt a similiar weight lose.

glad to hear man! just wanted to show people since i was soo happy ive come this far already. if that was enough to inspire 1 person that makes me feel even better! Good luck boss. its a hard road but sooo worth it in the end.

jts98z28 05-17-2011 05:23 PM

congrats thats a huge change, keep it up

S.J.SLEEPER 05-17-2011 09:56 PM

nice work bro... by the way.. you can kick that 2lbs in a day.
lots of cardio,pt, & gotta sweat it out. saunna room will take some off.
they say everytime you break a sweat you lose 1/2 a lb.....don't think thats 100% true, but had to drop weight for the USMC and lost 5lbs in 2 days w/ doing the items above.

Again, congrats and good luck with your goals.

emolineaux 05-17-2011 10:10 PM

thanks curt! yea man i was at 254 monday morning. as of tonight i was 251 so if it goes like its been going ill be at 250 tomorrow morning. guess its time to shoot for 240 lol all i know is i 250 sounds better than 296 lol. im glad i got my fat ass in gear with this change.

DaSkinnyGuy 05-17-2011 10:48 PM

Awsome progress, got a few tips to help you lose more cayenne pepper you can simply just take it as powder found in the season section,your mouth as to get the hot taste so it can prepare your stomach to change the way it digest otherwise if you hide it in food your stomach won't be prepared and won't be as effective, its also very healthy for blood flow because it makes your blood rush so fast it has saved lives during a hearth attack, tart cherry juice or dried cherries, fish oil can be taken as a vitamine will make you **** bad fat out, blueberries,avacadoes.
