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.

01-09-2013, 03:46 AM

Wow Ron... my first time seeing all this... Way to go man...

Out of curiosity... before your procedure what protein bars were you using for your meal replacements?

maintenance is steady.. balancing between 169-171 for a while now

starting to play organized basketball again.. this is surreal for me

NeuRon · 02-19-2013, 07:52 AM

167.8 after 8 games of full court basketball this weekend.. ran 12 miles the week before..

this is fun

MACS · 02-19-2013, 04:55 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, 05:18 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!

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

NeuRon · 02-20-2013, 05:15 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..!
