So yeah… insisting you can’t do a pull up at 284 lbs. is just plain dumb.

I started at 261 July 2008 and am at 212 this morning.

In 10 days I will be under 199 and am going to stay there.

Diet and exercise are super important to being healthy. Thanks for being an inspiration.

It sucks that this guy is hating on all things not him, it does sound like he’s on a high horse, and not like the man in the old spice commercial either.

Rob’s absolutely right, I read this, and thought, man…I hope I’m not a hater….but I’m not hating, do what works for you, as long as it does indeed work for you.

Great thought provoking post Israel.

Keep em comin!

PS. I hate it when people say someone will “gain it all back.” Screw that, good for that dude for losing it fast and changing his life.

Glad to know you are being able to lose weight, although i do not know you, i’m very happy for you )

I also started a diet in February 2009 and managed to lose 116 pounds (more or less). Unfortunately, ever since i moved to the US last November i started gaining some weight (i’ve gained around 22 pounds – which i intent to lose again heheh)…

Either way, just wanted to give you my support and confirm your appreciation: there IS always a hater amongst us! ;o)

I remember hearing the exact same comment when i started my diet: “you wont be able to loose the weight” or “you’ll get it back”.

It’s true that losing the weight is only half the battle (maintaining the weight loss is also very difficult) but people should be more respectful and supporting…)

Most people have NO Idea what it is to be obese!

How does your weight have anything to do with how much you can lift exactly? Where’s the logic in that? Look at the worlds strongest man competitions…these guys are massive and no doubt weight quite a bit but can lift stupid amounts.

I’d ignore him and let his own logic defeat him rather than waste your time with him.

So many people did not believe I lost as much weight as i did, or worked out as hard. they were waiting for me to fail, give me a tissue and say “I knew it would happen.”

So listen Iz, get off your wishy-washy ass and start blogging more!!! I mean, one update in forever? I need more of a taste from a FL partner!

I am new to your material and just received your e-book. Nice work. I believe that guys that are in the process of losing weight and enjoying are the ones that will be an inspiration to all others. Nice work.

Haters either 1) see a scary part of themselves in others or 2) trying to make money by putting other people down. Neither work well.

I have come across this type many times over the years and have always made it a point to try not to emulate it.

While I will admit that I have been pretty critical of a handful of programs, it was only because they were things that I deemed unhealthy, unrealistic, or just plain unsound. In these instances, I analyze the programs for the sake of helping my clients and readers to make informed decisions.

But I would never place that opinion over someone’s hard-earned success. I may not agree with everything, but I have been on the weight loss road myself and can understand how difficult it can be, and because of that applaud anyone who has stuck to a program and had success.

So great job. I’ plan on checking back with your blog in the future!

Best thing to do is just keep doing what your doing because we all are enjoying and benefiting from your website.

The best thing to do is ignore them or occasionally throw your success in their face if they are really being a pain in the ass.

I’ve done that with the whole online income thing. One of my co-workers said I would fail at it and makes jokes all the time. He has no clue how much a actually make I love that.

Israel congrats on the 70lbs lost so far, that is a huge accomplishment.
