KindaFamiliar 3,867 Posted July 23, 2018 A few minutes of your time if I may (with apologies for the wall of words) - A few years ago, I underwent a Gastric Sleeve procedure in an effort to lose weight... I had let myself get to the dangerous weight of 255kg (562 pounds)... After sticking to my eating and exercise plan, the process was successful and resulted in a loss of over 110kg (242 pounds)... I still had a bit to go and was confident that I'd get there... Unfortunately, I then let life get on top of me... I started making worse and worse 'food decisions' and allowed my exercise to become less and less a priority... This has resulted in me regaining a reasonably significant amount of the weight I had lost... "So what?" you might be saying... Well, it's now time for me to stop making excuses... It's time for me to get my **** together... So with that in mind, I'm embarking on a brand new mission... I've named it "99by50".. Put simply, I'm aiming to get my weight down to 99kg (218 pounds) by my 50th birthday (18 Jul 2019)... To keep me accountable, I've created an Instagram page to keep PUBLIC track of my progress... I'll be posting regular updates on my progress, my exercise, what's working and what's not, my shorter term goals, some of the crap that would usually stay inside my head - all sorts of stuff related to my mission.. What I'm asking from you is this - If you have any interest in such a thing, please follow me... If you know someone who may have an interest, please forward this on to them (or tag them)... I welcome all thoughts, ideas, questions, anecdotes, advice - anything that you think may keep me accountable and on track... Here's the link - https://www.instagram.com/99by50/ If you do choose to take a look at the page, you'll see it's a little sparse at the moment... That will change as things go along... I'll be posting just about every day and will have much more detailed information up over time... Please don't feel obligated to follow the page... I'll not be offended if you don't... But as stated earlier, if you or someone you know has any interest, please feel free to like/share/follow... If you've got this far, thank you for your time... If you choose to follow and help keep me accountable - thank you... I hope to see some of you there...
