A weight loss journey

When KING 5 producer Chris Zito topped 400 pounds, he knew he had to do something or his future would be uncertain. After several failed attempts with diet and exercise over the years, he turned to gastric bypass surgery to supercharge his weight loss.

I didnt see it as a cheat, I saw it as a new start and getting a second chance to do things differently. I weight over 307lbs now it's been nearly 2 years and I'm at 190lbs and it took a lot of work. Working out with a personal train 5 to 6 day a week then lockdown came and i bought weights to continue working out, going for 2 hour walks a day, eating healthier and drinking as much water as the pouch could handle..so many nights i wanted to quit but i couldn't and now with gym open again I'm back with my personal trainer to get down to 120 or 130..its a massive journey so keep going and never quit😁😁

I can relate a little, my doctor put me on statin this year because my cholesterol was too high due to my poor eating habits. Now, I'm trying to get my health back in order before its to late. As a 44 years old obese dude, I know it isn't going to be easy but it's either getting my health back in order or continue to be at high risk for heart attacks. Wish Chris Zito all the best.

If anyone tells you diet (eating in a calorie deficit) and working out/cardio doesn’t work they are LYING to you.

Losing weight is an amazing feeling, the euphoria you get from stepping on the scale and watching that number drop makes anyone jump for joy. But weight loss is a journey not a cutscene. Your body loses fat proportionately and it’s pretty difficult to target specific muscle groups. Depending on genetics everyone has a spot where fat tends to store in one place such as the belly, thighs, underarms, back, etc but with consistent dieting and exercise you CAN lose weight. Little extra tip: you don’t have to complete remove a food you enjoy from your daily life, just make sure you can squeeze it into your diet without increasing or decreasing your macros

2:11 I feel that. I've never been more sad or heartbroken then when I realized how many times I've failed. I have never succeeded in my efforts to lose weight. I had I nightmare the other day. Well idk if I would call it a nightmare. Without going into it to much. I was at some movie theater and there was junk food vending machines everywhere. I remember getting chips pops cookies pop corn and binging eating so much and I broke down and cried in the dream after I realized what I've just done. Even in my dreams I'm failing.

Hey man good work! It's the new year and I was looking for motivation, and YOU my man, got me fired up! It's almost 10pm EST on 1/4/22 . . . STARVING! But I can hang in there until morning! Thank you!

Surgery is NOT the only way that a person can lose 100, 200, 300 or even more pounds! Preventing insulin resistance is the key! Stop eating ALL sugar. Stop eating processed foods. Eat whole foods, mostly dark greens and other vegetables, healthy fats only (nuts and avocados), a small amount of fruit. Cut out bread, pasta, rice and grains. Drink 64 to 90 ounces of water perday depending on your weight. You lose your cravings for junk and sugar and your body burns fat instead of glucose. Exercise for 1 or 2 minutes at a time several times a day to start. Don't judge yourself while you are excercising. Look at what this guy is eating after surgery: sugar laden high carb beans! You don't want to get nonalcoholic fatty liver disease! These surgeons make MONEY OFF OF PEOPLE'S MISERY! Before taking the leap at surgery do more research!

The surgery doesn’t really fix the problem. People still have to eat healthy, exercise, sleep and manage stress well. When you do it on your own without surgery through hard work everyday, you get a sense of pride and accomplishment of success. I’ve never had any weight loss surgery. I still lost 60lbs the natural, right way without cutting my stomach up. I think people should really just give diet and exercise a try over the long-term. 👌🏻

in fairness, he is handsome. way to go, sir!

[BigTruckerJ]

Idc what anybody says his life was at risk. He did what he had to do to live not just for him but also his daughter. I went to the doctor a few days ago and I have hypertension, borderline diabetic, and am at risk of a heart attack . I'm not even close to being what he's at I only weigh 280 pounds. My goal is to get down to 215. I'm not wanting to lose weight I need to lose weight otherwise I'm going to die. BTW I'm only 26 so this hit really hard.

Man lost his dad to stage 4 colon cancer that hit me tough I just lost my dad to that back in December

[haanieatoigue]

[Ch-hgiu]

100 g of carbs sounds really low but that's what I've been doing for the past moth days im down 20 pounds

Nothing will help you lose weight. Not surgery, not diets, not exercise...

If you don't develop a brand new identity and adopt SELF DISCIPLINE you will not succeed at anything in life especially weight loss.

THAT is the solution. NOT motivation. DISCIPLINE AND A NEW IDENTITY (How you see yourself).

Before anyone gets on my case for being heartless the truth is most who struggle to lose weight want the EASY way out. Nothing worth doing in life is easy.

I've struggled with my weight in recent years so I know that of which I speak.

Embrace the suck. That is the only way you'll see a better outcome for your life.
