obv dont want to get zuckerberg'd

Register the domain, get a logo made, host the landing page, create FB, twitter, flickr, LinkedIn, YouTube, setup Wordpress, read The Lean Startup, and you should be rolling.

JP, your progress is amazing. If you had lost 100 pounds in two years that'd be bragworthy; losing as much as you have in that amount of time is truly an extraordinary feat.

[tommyg8]

+1 to sick progress JP, well done. Hope you vengeance bang every girl who has friendzoned you in the past.

[Simkars]

Great effort JP, very well done and excellent discipline - what a change!
You say your diet was 98% until recently, how often have you been going to the gym? Also what was your diet like before compared to now?

[SlevinUp]

I eat a lot of turkey and chicken mostly, and have had turkey sausage biscuits for breakfast almost every single day. I definitely am not able to walk slowly now because it just feels so weird exerting so little energy to move. People give me **** all the time now for being a super fast walker sitting in chairs is insanely different because I don't have to worry about breaking them now lol. Sitting at a poker table is also immensely easier and more comfortable obviously.

what was the biggest hurdle to get over?
also your biggest motivation?

i remember squeezing into the back seat of a car last summer with JP, he turned to me and said "this wouldve never ****ing happened one year ago"

really happy to see you sticking with it, looking great JP

Wow, big congrats JP. Inspirational, indeed.

Were you able to stay consistent the whole way through or did you make a bunch of mistakes and have to get back on the grind? It seems the hardest thing is to accept it's inevitable to make mistakes and the important thing is to just always go back to eating right and exercising. Anyway, props if you were consistent and props if you just kept jumping on the horse. Huge accomplishment.



edit. One more question. Often when people quit a bad habit or lose a bunch of weight they're either very understanding about other addicts/obese people or they look down on them. How do you feel about people that are very overweight and don't put in every effort possible to lose the weight?

Since I'm asking personal questions to someone I don't know I'll add a fwiw. I've never had to watch my weight nor exercise and I've always been thin. I'm old enough now that I feel unhealthy enough that I've had to start eating right and exercises for reasons beyond vanity. I try not to judge anyone so that extends to addicts/obese people, too. Life's hard and people have different levels of motivation and "will power". Not to mention different metabolisms! /csb
