Extreme Makeover: Brandon Edition

Hey Brandon,

I'm sure by now you're in the 200's. Way to have a positive attitude :)

"I found out that it a significantly harder to fight temptation when I am away from the office." I know what you mean. I eat sooo healthy on the weekends because I pretty much work all day. Monday-Friday are the hardest :p

Glad to hear you had a good Thanksgiving and awesome job on eating healthy! :)

And wow, you did a TON of shopping. Way more shopping then I did and I'm a girl lol

Hey all,

Sorry I have been MIA for a week or so now. I have been so busy with the Holiday season upcoming and preparing for my trip to Dallas. I also came down with an icky flu bug :ack2: and am finally just coming off of it.

I have MAJOR catching up to do on the journals that I have been following.... especially SyNyStEr and gohomejes. :D

I did, however, manage to weigh in today... I will make a seperate post for that.

Hope everyone is well.

Thank you so much. It really does feel great. The difference between 300 and 299 is MUCH more than a pound IMO. ;)
 
Woohoo!

Super awesome work dude!

Totally agree with u, goin from 300 to 299 is a big deal! Glad to see all ur hard work is still paying off!

Congrats again!

:)
 
Weight Training:

I think I have gained all of my muscle "memory" back. I maxed out at 410 on the bench press last night. :D
 
Hey Brandon :)

I am seriously just in shock by how much weight you've lost in 2 months. That is crazy. Why can't I lose weight that fast damnit?! :p

But dude seriously, congrats!!!!! Congrats for making it back in the 200's and just keeping this great lifestyle going. You are doing amazing. I say this a lot but you are seriously going to be at your goal weight in NO time. I am quite envious.

Keep it up!

Thanks AGAIN for your encouraging words. :D

If I worked out like you did... I am sure it would come off even faster. :D

After a relatively uneventful week, I am anxious for my weeks upcoming. Although I have accomplished my "year's end" goal, these next few weeks (back home to Dallas) could make or break me. :eek:
 
I feel your pain, although I am beyond excited about going home, I am a bit afraid that the good homecooking will break me. My grandmother is digging up all these glutenfree recipes for me, I can't really not eat!

As for losing 50 pounds in 2 months... I am flabbergasted! You rock dude! I have been working for 12 months and have lost a measly 30! But I am not jealous, just flabbergasted!

Have a great week, Camy

Thanks for the kind words!

I am sure, though, that your precentage of weight loss is right up there with me. Excellent work!
 
Damn last time I checked in you just got down below 300, now you're almost 290. As I've said, keep up the great work, you're making such amazing strides towards your goal.

I feel like this is a stupid question, but by now you must be able to see a difference in the mirror right?

Thanks for your encouraging words.

I actually CAN finally see the work paying off. The "spare tire" around my midsection is slowly losing air and the double chin is more like a chin and a half. It is very exciting. It makes me want to work harder towards my goal.
 
Any thoughts?

My friends and I are VERY close but I feel like we are becoming distant because of the time I spend in the gym.

I understand that I need to make sacrifices and I am okay with that. However, I would trade NOTHING for my friendships.

Any advice?
 
Do I smell updated pics coming soon?

Gotta agree with Conkel, you are making amazing strides!!

When are we gonna get some COD5 on the go then young sir?!

Not sure about the time difference between us, might cause some problems!!
Out of curiosity, what time is it where you are? Its 5:49pm here :)
