It is so good to see that you took your time and transformed your body. Haven't been through the entire site so you may have answered this question but how long did it take you to get to your present weight from 300+ lbs? I'm sending your blog to everyone I know with a weight problem to inspire them.<BR/><BR/>BenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17406142769995581018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-31399469684568268642008-06-02T13:08:00.000-07:002008-06-02T13:08:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019337689517760805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-72590154339102921812008-06-02T13:07:00.000-07:002008-06-02T13:07:00.000-07:00Congrats on your success!

I weighed about 185 ten years ago, and about four months ago when I weighed myself I was at my heaviest... 284 pounds. I decided then I needed to do something about it so I joined a fitness center and started eating better (there is still a lot of room for improvement in that department). So far I have lost about 20 pounds and I am still going. I haven't been tracking my weight but I find it is a very good motivator when you see those numbers go down and your clothes start fitting a little looser. Reading your blog has reinforced to me that an average person can reach their target weight if they really want to. I will continue reading your blog for inspiration and for the wealth of information you share with everyone. Thanks again and congrats!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019337689517760805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-46906737167263152312008-06-02T05:45:00.000-07:002008-06-02T05:45:00.000-07:00Tamara, thanks for you comment and compliments too...Tamara, thanks for you comment and compliments too.

Many folks don't realize that this is the hard part. Yes, I weight myself almost daily too. Folks who say this is a bad practice has more psychological issues to work on because how else are you going to hold yourself accountable? I also use my clothes and the mirror. Since I'm going for a low level of body fat % (5%), it's much easier to look in the mirror to tell if my abs look tight or bloated. For folks who have a lot of bodyfat to lose, I strongly suggest that they weight themselves at least once a week!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment and sharing your success story for others Keri.Muatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209630079415529943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-5412143894443979912008-06-01T10:12:00.000-07:002008-06-01T10:12:00.000-07:00LC Dave, thanks for your complment bro!

I'll be honest with you; if you don't lose a ton of weight in a short space of time, your skin will come back more than you think, and your stretch marks won't be as noticeable. However, does this mean that your skin is going to be tight and your stretch marks will disappear? Nope, they won't! <BR/><BR/>Focus on eating nutrient-dense foods, drink plenty of fluids, and lotion your entire body at least once a day; then, sit back and watch as your skin starts to surprise you!Muatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209630079415529943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-51671360675544966842008-06-01T06:01:00.000-07:002008-06-01T06:01:00.000-07:00Congratulations on your interview and your accompl...Congratulations on your interview and your accomplishments.

I did a quick post about you on my blog at: http://leananmean.com/http:/leananmean.com/muata-kamdibes-weight-loss-on-cnn/<BR/><BR/>I also like that you tell people to figure out a diet that works for them!<BR/><BR/>Take care and keep up the great posts.<BR/><BR/>John W.

I have struggled with my weight since childhood, and by the time I was in my early 20s, I weight over 200 pounds. Five years ago I decided enough was enough, and I went on the Atkins diet and lost 90 pounds in less than a year. I wend off Atkins four years ago, and through strict monitoring of my portions, I'm still at the same weight. I'm no supermodel, but I'm happy with how I look, and so is my fiance. It's probably because I still allow myself cheeseburgers and ice cream from time to time. :D <BR/><BR/>The key for me has been to weigh myself every day, and make sure I don't go above a certain maximum. If I hit that number then I know I need to tighten my belt for a couple of days and slim back down. And it's amazing how much easier it is to lose 1.5 pounds than it is to lose 90. <BR/><BR/>Again, congratulations. I know what it is like to inspire people to lose weight (people in my office are STILL amazed at how I look, even all these years later), and kudos to you for going public and posting pictures of your progess. I sure didn't do that...Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380331722958002078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-88371996292647033192008-05-31T08:52:00.000-07:002008-05-31T08:52:00.000-07:00Holy crap! 42 comments!!!Woohoo!Boy, your jaw was ...Holy crap! 42 comments!!!<BR/><BR/>Woohoo!<BR/><BR/>Boy, your jaw was really chiseled.
