150 Pounds Before and After Weight Loss - YouTube

Meek75 · 05-17-2012, 06:53 PM

This video makes me tear up everytime I view it.

Let's not give up, you all. WE CAN DO IT!!!

Good for her. That discoloration on her neck may be Acanthosis Nigricans, an early warning sign for diabetes so I am glad she's on her way to being healthier.

Yep, I noticed that too. I actually had the same discolorations on my neck/breasts/armpits before I lost weight. Now it's completely gone. Kind of freaky, huh? Very awesome progress she's made.

clackley · 05-18-2012, 05:47 AM

Nice success story! Someone should tell her she could get rid of the wheat and probably lose more effortlessly!

Meek75 · 05-18-2012, 06:02 AM

I believe she is following a WOE that she can do for a lifetime.

That is of course, of the utmost importance and I did not mean my suggestion as a criticism. When I first began my weight loss journey, I would have never thought that I would permanently be eliminating wheat/grains but at this point, I would say that is the case....

I googled pics of this and realized it's what an ex mgr of mine has all over the back of her neck and on her elbows. She's 5' and about 240-250 lbs. She said it was from living in Florida for 20 years. Well at the time she moved to Fla, she only weighed about 115 lbs so I can see why she may THINK it's from being in the sun like she said it was.She is hypothyroid, her mom is diabetic and lives with her but they don't watch what they eat. Even after her mom being in the hospital in Jan of 2011 because of the diabetes.

It's okay

.

As I watched her video on what she did to lose 60 pounds in 13 weeks, I thought about the foods she was eating, but I didn't judge because apparently, it worked for her. She did watching her carb intake, but not to the point of Atkins. She also kept an eye on her calories.. All in all, her way worked and I am so happy for her

sweetpinky · 05-18-2012, 10:31 AM

Thank you for posting this video. I've watched it about 5 times. The best part, for me, was when she said that she was no more special than I was and if she could do it, we all could.

As I'm approaching the loss of my very first 20 pounds (or approximately 10% of what I plan to lose), it meant a lot to me to SEE that it is actually doable.

This has really fired my belief in myself again.

Thanks, again!!!

Jillo · 05-18-2012, 10:38 AM

I've been crying since she got to 199. *sniff*

I am so happy for her!
