To clear a few things up….
Hello Everyone.
This email is to simply clarify a few things. I have gotten a number of e-mails calling me a liar regarding my weight and the fact I have done with WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTS!! I am not writing this email to be mean or anything of the sort, however I am tired of being accused for something I have not done.
To date: *I have infact lost 47lbs since March 5, 2007. *I have not lost weight due to supplements and/or surgery.
Yes, I understand that is a short time frame, but it remains a fact that I have lost it. I have watched what I eat; I eat 5 very small meals a day. I only take vitamins, calcium and cod liver oil. I do cardio a minimum of 3 days a week. On days I do NOT go to the gym I go for a job/walk around my neighborhood. I do weight training a minimum of three days per week. I say a minimum so that is the least number I will go not the maximum amount of days b/c sometimes I do go 6-7 days per week. I have invested in a personal trainer. My trainer does guide me to work out effectively for my body and my body style. I may not post all of my meals and my workouts on here, but it doesn’t mean I am not eating correctly or that I am not working out. Yes, I had a minor stall out and yes I am currently injured so during those times I have not gone to the gym. Depending on your body and the way your body works yes it can happen. If it works for me and not for you I am sorry, but there is nothing I can do about it. Every person has to formulate their own plan/guide to tailor their own needs, do not go by what works just for me, b/c it is a plan just for me so find one just for you. Please do not email me calling me a liar b/c it is not working for you. No, I have not had my stomach stapled or liposuction, etc. The only type of surgery I have had this year at all is my tonsils removed.
I have worked very hard to get to wear I am and show the type of progress that I am showing. If you do not believe me then really that is your own personal problem to deal with, stop taking it out on me. Why do you have to be the person that sees the negative or fault in what one does rather than the success? Are you jealous or unhappy with your own progress or they way you have achieved them? Regardless of what you think, it will not change the fact that it is what it is and I am where I am. I did it myself and I only have to prove it to myself. Let me stop this ranting here.
Yes, I have not been to workout in one week so far due to an ankle injury. I am set to see a specialist in one week from today instead of this week, due to the amount of swelling that I have. But I do plan to be back to the gym very soon.
I want to thank everyone else that has been completely supportive, have encouraged me and provide his or her knowledge to me to help me push harder to reach my goal.

If I remember correctly you were just as surprised as anyone wtih your progress. I am shocked that anyone would e-mail you to call you a liar. My expeirence with the people on bb.com is that they are supportive beyond expectation. Anytime I have ever seen any hating going on it is by people who have posted no pictures or progress and I assume that they are just kids messing around. I am sorry that you have been harrassed to the point that you felt you needed to respond. I agree with Gina, you need not explain yourself to anyone. Your friends share in the joy of your progress and we will be here to see you cross the finish line.

Thank you both.. I really really really appreciate what you both have said John & Gina!!

Don’t even listen to the haters, they just wanna be where you are…….not everyone has the discipline and dedication to workout and eat right as hardcore as you do. Keep up the good work and i hope you are back to 100% soon. I know ankle injuries suck, i have had my fair share of ankle problems.
HOLLA AT YA BOI

Y’know it’s funny how people are quick to harp on other people’s failures but slow to talk about people’s success.
You know you’ve been busting your ass so screw what anybody else says. You’re not losing weight for everybody else, you’re doing it for you so tell everybody that’s got something to say to kiss your ass.
Peace!

Sounds like you have a good plan. Don;t worry about what others think. You know what you have done and you should be proud. Good luck with the ankle!

Dont pay any attention to the haters on this site, you know it happened and that is what matters. Heal that ankle!

You’re proof that a good diet and good nutrition is the first and most important step to a healthy body and healthy weight loss. My mother-in-law had a similar weight loss experience. No weight training, treadmill a couple times a week but a major postive turn in her nutrition. Great job and keep it up! The haters are just jealous.

That’s right sweetie, don’t listen to anyone sending you those PMs. I know it’s possible and i beleive you a 100%.
Stay true to yourself, you are beautiful and you’re only gonna get better!

You don’t have to explain what you are doing to anyone. Your making fantasic progress and should be proud

I have lost 29 since April 8th. I have taken some supps, but I have also (like you) worked VERY hard for it. Supps do not do much for losing weight or fat if you are not doing the basics AND being consistant. You keep rockin’ and don’t listen to those people who don’t have enough determination to stay consistant, say NO to junk no matter what, and sweat their butts off for results. I’m not saying anything to you that you don’t already know, but it just makes me mad!!!
Awesome job, and I’ll pray for your ankle.
