Mike, I love you, and am pulling for you! We all have our weaknesses, remember...mine is lack of diligence at times. But if you just take one day at a time, I know you will succeed, and one day, you will look back and say how worth it it was! Just keep thinking how much better your life will be just interacting with your son. God bless you, Mike.
First, you are covered in prayers. So many people in this area love and appreciate you.
Next, please take just an evening to read about Jimmy Moore at http://www.livinlavidalowcarb.com/
I started my journey about two years ago with Pastor Rick Warren in CA and "The Daniel Plan". I lost some weight and this lead me to Tim Ferriss' "The 4 Hour Body" and I lost some more weight. That lead to eating low carb and now fully "Paleo". Too many names and buzzwords, but REAL results. I'm down to my goal weight, but I'm finding it has way less to do with the scale than how I feel and how my clothes fit.
My dad, who was a cardiologist, died at 64. I was on the same path. I scared myself into changing. Everyone has a breaking point. Before you go too far on any "program", please check out this resource because I know it will yield big results and fast...and without any special foods to buy or coaches to consult with. I'm happy to speak with you further about this, brother.
Mike, thanks for your transparency and openness here. You have quite a few peeps who'll be cheering you on through this. And whether you have a great day, or a low day, or just need an ear to bend...we're here for you, Bro! #FistBump
I am right there with you man. When I started my weight loss journey I was at 420. Got my self down to about 340. Like you I have been making my own plan....Just weighed in at 360 and am really bummed about it. My mom is on the medifast plan and has lost a significant amount of weight. So with you doing Medifast and my mom's success with it I think you have helped me step in that direction and ask for some help. Thanks for sharing this Mike, it helps to know I'm not the only person out there who feels like this.
Mike - Thanks for the note! I totally understand having lost 80lbs a couple of years ago and putting it all back on. I really like the Medifast program, especially the fact that counselors really care about my success. Many of them have been through the same thing and understand.
BTW - The Medifast folks have given me a chance to help other by offering a FREE Body Composition Analysis ($50 value) for anyone who mentions "SHINE-FM" when they stop in. This is the cool measurement that gives you a true look at where your body is right now. Really helped me get a handle on where I needed to go. You can also just call 1-888-704-8746 to make an appointment.
Please let me know how it goes and how you are doing!
Mike, Rock on! I signed up tonight and spoke to my coach. Really nice guy. They walked me through my goals and laid out what I will be doing for the first few weeks. Really set my mind at ease and I feel good about it! Looking forward to your updates!
