Congrats, Ron. My plan wasn't as well thought out.

I'm gonna need to lose the last couple of Christmas gains before spring.

Wow... I haven't posted on this one before, but I am just blown away. Ron, your before and after pictures are just unbelievable. I am impressed - congratulations.

I checked in because while I am not obese per se, I am overweight and its the same story... Mental work with lots of sitting, fast food, beer, etc. Im trying to stop it before it gets out of hand. Im starting at 240 and working to get down below 200 again. I may never be the highschool 165, but Id like to get close. More muscle mass would be nice too - Im pretty strong but not defined.

I went back and read the first post you made Ron. Quite the accomplishment, man. You should be very proud!

MACS · 02-19-2013, 03:55 PM

Read through this inspirational thread today. Wow, is all I can say. I weighed 218 when I retired from the Navy and I thought that was bad.

I lost 40 lbs since then and have maintained it for almost a year now. I'm about 177-178 today (haven't weighed myself in a couple days). I did it by exercising and counting what calories I burned and consumed.

The loseit! app helped me do that.

Anyhow - excellent work, brother. You should be proud of your accomplishment and the discipline it took to get there. I have a co-worker who had that surgery and he's still pretty fat, although he did drop 125 or so. (I think he was 400+)

NeuRon · 02-19-2013, 04:18 PM

thank you so much man.! keep up the good work yourself.. its all about lifestyle change.. i can still eat food that i want.. just watch my portions and eat healthy as much as i can.. i used MyFitnessPal and it did a great job of logging all my intake! what a great help indeed

btw, thank you for your service!

NeuRon · 02-20-2013, 04:15 AM

thank you so much Joel..! means alot man..

i know its hard not to play the numbers game once you get "locked in", but i guess my body just took to it pretty well.. alot of people in my support groups dont work out, and they just dont seem to lose as much weight, and they have alot of skin problems, etc..

i dont know what i would do if i couldnt work out, bike ride, run, play basketball nowadays..!

NeuRon · 02-22-2013, 02:15 PM

pic out of boredom..... i still hate looking at the old me.. ill never get like that ever again... f that!

NeuRon · 03-11-2013, 02:05 PM

2.52 miles in 30.00 mins; week 1 of 10 of my 29.xx Minute 5k training.. woohoooo

NeuRon · 03-14-2013, 02:34 PM

today is my 18 month surgery anniversary... i know this thread is dead, but i actually like the fact that this has pretty much been my only online-diary of my journey.. here is a collage. cheers, and thanks for all the help to my botls

14holestogie · 03-14-2013, 02:50 PM

Amazing, Ron. Congrats on the life change.

NeuRon · 03-16-2013, 05:40 PM

^ Thank you Tim.. i really appreciate it

NeuRon · 03-16-2013, 05:45 PM

And fittingly, almost 7 months of maintaining the same weight and being in a holding pattern, i finally got to my super-stretch goal (200lbs lost - a weight of 165lbs) after a long week that involved running (3) 5K's and a morning full of Basketball.. I showed up 1 hour before gametime and did suicide springs and shot jumpers alone.. and then played for a little over 2 hours...

This will be the last post i make in this thread, because this is the last step in my weight loss.. The next chapter will be me living a "normal" life (a term used loosely, lol) But this thread will always be here for me (and everybody) to view and to show that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE with hard work

it has truly been an honor.. god bless and thank you all...
