Start small. Accomplish little things. Are you happy with yourself? If the answer is no, then do something to make you happy. It’s going to take some commitment and fortitude to lose that weight, but it gets so easy after a while that it becomes habit. Start off with controlling your eating and replace bad choices with healthier ones.

Just started my journey again last week. I’m 5′3 and 149 pounds. I keep trying but always end up falling off the wagon. Any tips?

The idea around social events and entertainment is that it is a people event, not an eating event even if it may seem like it

Thanks, I actually agree with the war scars part. I guess it’s just hard being a girl with all these stretch marks. I kind of feel like when I am actually comfortable enough to wear a swim suit again that anyone who has an issue with my skin can screw themselves because I have worked so hard. Again, congrats on your success, it’s really inspirational.

I’ll treat them as war scars. They will be a sign of my victory! Stretchmarks usually fade to light overtime. I wouldn’t let that discourage you.

Hi,
Congrats on your success. I have recently decided to turn my life around and become healthy. My only issue is that I has very sensitive skins so I got a BUNCH of stretch marks. This may sound stupid, but they’re not just little pink lines, they run from my ribs to below my belly button, the whole way up my sides and above my boobs and they are dark purple. I’m excited to lose weight, but I am discouraged to show people my skin. I saw that you have a few on your stomach ( nothing compared to mine ), but what do you plan to do about it? Does it bother you? Will you feel weird with your shirt off with a 6 pack and stretch marks? Anyway, you look great and keep it up!

I have started on my own journey recently and found that having “buddy’s” to share with do help in the process of losing weight and gaining health. I have always been “the fat kid” and I have gotten to a point in my life now that I am not going to be that anymore. I have realized I can be “big” and healthy. I have had some success in turning some fat into muscle, seen the results and have been inspired to never go back. Something in my mind has clicked (finally) to not want to look just fat, but toned. Muscle definitely looks better than fat. I have been able to lose 27 lbs in 8 weeks with working out and changing my diet. My kids are also looking at more healthier food choices and I hope they never have to be battling the bulge in their lives. That, along with my getting healthier, would be the best I can ask for along this journey. Keep up the good work, and blogging, you never know who it will inspire! Your website mentions “FREE” Fat Man unleashed shirts? Hook me up! LOL It will be an awesome shirt to wear to my gym! I noticed the size options, I can actually fit into an option (2XL) now!!! LOL It feels great to lose weight!

I found your blog while poking around the internet looking for a few inspirational blogs that would help in my weight loss journey. I see you have over 3000 subscribers so you must be very inspirational!

I’ll stick around here and hopefully learn a thing or two. Thanks!

Thanks for the great post Israel. It’s awesome to read that blogging has helped you, and others, stay on track.

I suppose it also gives you another area of support which wouldn’t have been there before. Blogging could actually be a great area to get into for those who just don’t have a strong support network at home etc – I hadn’t even thought of that before.

Best wishes, and keep up the good work!

The awesome part you may want to take note of is the added Accountability you now have. You have an entire audience encouraging you and Almost Forcing you to be consistent in your quest! Having people around you in the process of achieving any goal is such an important factor in your accountability to your own process.

I was watching the Celtics/San Antonio basketball game today and a large element of the commentator focus was on how Kevin Garnett is making the Celtics a great team because of his leadership and his encouragement for the team to remain accountable to themselves…although his skills don’t necessarily hurt! Keep it up. We want to see that six pack before the year is up!
