OMG OMG OMG tried on 46s and they fit. I was wearing 52 in June. I bought 46’s thinking I’d give myself something to shoot for. I already done shot it. I may have to use 42s instead. I have that song how do you like me now from the kia commericels rolling through my head right now. I’m just dumb founded with myself and proud!

Weight yo-yoing a bit and i really needed this right now. I love this plan so much. Weight Not has made my pipe dream a reality!

Thanks Nola and Carrie. Its day 46 and I’m 303.4 that’s 55lb lost. Had a small issue this week with a fruit salad(all approved fruits) I didn’t want to throw it away and I knew it would last much longer so I ate it. I went from 303.8 to 305.8 and out of ketois most likely cause of the sugars. SO that morning I skip my fruit at breakfast and spent and extra hour yesterday at the dojo and I was 303.4 ketois wasn’t neg but it wasn’t a definable color.

Its the first time I broke in the diet. Not discouraged what so ever just anoid with myself that I let it happen.

I still think I can hit my goal of 275 by the end of the full 90 days. I just want to break into the 200’s so bad I can taste it!

One thing I have notice tho is my waist as only gone from 55” to 52” mind you my size 50 pants just barely fit any more I would have though I’d have lost more inches but I guess its the way I’m built cause you can see the lose just the measuring tape doesn’t show it.

Congratulations John!

Congratulations on all of your accomplishments, and thank you for sharing your story.  I sincerely appreciate it.  You have inspired me to keep going.  I too wondered if this was money well spent, and then I look at my weight loss to date and realize that it WAS the best investment I’ve ever made in myself.  I am 43 days into rapid weight loss and have lost 33 pounds.  More importantly, I’ve gained self control and discipline.  Some days I don’t lose and others a pound will come off.  The actual pounds lost is great, but the most valuable takeaway for me is that Weightnot has taught me how to make healthy eating decisions that will last me a lifetime.  I have 89 pounds (and another cycle or two) to go and I am excited about reaching my goal AND have actually enjoyed the process.  I actually look forward to my daily workout and cannot wait until I can begin more strenuous cardio.  The change in mindset is something I NEVER thought would happen.  Who knew that Weightnot would turn me into one of those “I cannot go a day without exercise” kind of people ; - )

I look forward to more progress reports from you.  Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work.  YOU are worth it!

We all have challenges in life and we all come from different paths but I hit an emotional point today. I hit 316lb on the scale today. The last time I weighted that little I was sitting in a hospital bed just coming out of ICU. A week in ICU and 3 weeks in a hospital bed because I lost all my strength. With a disease I was still coming to understand and meds to control it that cause me to be hungry all the time (still on them). Just watching my weight raise and raise over these past 11 years hitting my worst at 370lbs this past March. I though for sure I was headed to 400lbs and on a runaway train to it. I was able to lose a little on my own and with a group that was prep for a gastric bypass.

I started weight not June 28th at 358lbs thinking I either spent money on another bad decision in a long line of them (like 3k on a personal trainer.) or I made the best decision ever. I’m glad to say its the best decision ever!

I still have a 33 days of rapid loss and steady trim. I fight with myself sometimes still but I can walk past just about anything. Sweets at cookouts are my only real struggles cause they’re there in front of me.

My goal is 275lb but I think I can beat it. My reward will be riding roller coasters for the first time in 11 years.

When I hit 250 either on this 90day or the next cycle I will weight what I weighted at 14. (I was big but I was also 6ft)

I’m back in Kenpo as well now and my MMA training. I had given it all up due to the stress and pain in my knee. (bone on bone contact). My knees and other joints don’t hurt.

I don’t have to use my CPAP for sleeping at night. (still have to have another sleep study to confirm)

I can walk up a hill hold a full conversion without losing my breath or anyone asking if I’m alright.

To those of you who read this and are just starting out and feel like oh I can’t do this. I say this YES you can! Fight for yourself because you are worth it and you deserve to be the best you that you can be! (corny yes but its my mantra)

Thank you for reading. An thank you all on the weightnot team.
