Weighed in today and in the last six weeks I've lost over fifty pounds. Hasn't been as difficult as I had anticipated, I mean the shakes and protein bars are dog shit, and the portions for my regular meals are drastically lower than what I had been accustomed to, but I haven't really had any cravings, even managed to give up soda.

Started lifting again too with these adjustable dumbbells. Guy who's helping me with this has me starting slow, just a few different exercises a couple times a week, trying to ease my body back into the groove to limit soreness and the discouragement that often accompanies it. Was a bit more of an adjustment to the lower weight higher reps routine than I thought though, since my instincts tell me to throw on as much weight as possible, had to do a lost of adjusting to find a good starting point but it's getting better now.

Whoa that is awesome my man, congrats! Keep it up!

My brother couldn't use it and it's missing a lot of important machines. I also prefer to cook my own food. 

Have you ever tried making a fruit cocktail with oatmeal? It tastes like frozen yogurt!

 

I cook my own food as well with meal prep. What I mean is cooking a crap ton of food on sunday and freezing it in containers so I can eat it throughout the week

Nice to see so much action in this thread!!

I'm on a hiatus now after 5 months of steady work. Feels bad but no way around it. Two weeks ago friday night I noticed my belly hurts, went to doctor on saturday and got sent back home, went again sunday morning and about 6-7pm they did surgery. 6 days with internal medication and pretty much no food at all in a hospital. They let me home and I was surprised I had gained weight, now all the extra fluids, shit&meds have gone away and I've lost about 4 kilos compared to before surgery. Fuckin bad trip.

I can start working out again in 2-3 weeks. It is going to be interesting to see how my body will react and how weak I will feel, but I'm not going to give up now.

 

You will probably be a little weaker than you were before, but as long as you have properly healed and rested you should be able to reach where you were pretty quickly. Especially with that good attitude
