The TV show that featured all of these formerly obese people inspired me to take back my life and start to follow the advice I saw the Dr give his patients about what to eat in order to lose weight. I started off at about 320lbs & was weighed at my Dr’s office on 11-17-22 at 236!!!!!!! My Dr was surprised that I was down 14lbs since my last visit in late September 😁😁😁😁 I’m feeling so much better and am very proud of my progress so far👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻I am intending on keeping with the very low carb & no sweets diet I have been on👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Congratulation to all the ladies and men you all look amazing when you have Faith and believe in yourself everything is possible keep it up GOD bless
Wow can you imagine all the loose skin. Hopefully they find a skilled plastic surgeon. These pics are amazing.
My goodness I can’t imagine the burden of all that excess weight. Let this be a lesson the parents — teach your children healthy habits so they don’t suffer as adults!
It’s NOT always “eating habits!!” …ignorant much??
So you have never had a weight problem and you can’t do that to kids if they’re hungry you feed them and you try to not let them eat a lot but if the hungry you going to make them go hungry I don’t think so so it’s not what you think you are not haven’t had a weight problem you need to work don’t worry about it you know mind your business stay in your lane because you don’t know what you’re talking about it’s easy for you to say but for someone that the child is gets a little overweight they grow out of it so most of them do mine did so you’re going to feed each child when they’re hungry you’re not going to tell him no and be that’s cruel and yes you do teach him to eat right healthy salads and you know good food but sometimes it don’t work that way tell him I’m not trying to be rude but you just don’t know my granddaughter she’s six she weighed 100 pounds and she made h
The message here, while definitely not what I would have said in this context, but being that it has been said, I would say I do have to agree with the concept that parents have a responsibility to guide healthy lifestyles while children are young in order to help their lives later.
My son was wearing a men’s 34 waste at the age of 7 after staying with his grandparents. I never prevented him from eating if he wanted but I did not buy processed foods, gave him dessert so he wasn’t deprived but in small portions, and I cooked healthy meals. I got him in football where he could run and be active. By the next year my son was lean, strong, healthy and looked AND felt great! It IS up to parents to help children who are developing eating disorders BEFORE they get worse and limit the rest of their lives.
Weight doesn’t always have to do with diet or healthy Choices. There are plenty of medical conditions or medications that can make you gain a bunch of weight or make it extremely difficult to lose weight. I, myself was put on seroquel when I was 14, I blew up, it’s been 8 years since I stopped taking it, I’ve dieted and dieted. I’ve starved myself, made myself sick after meals, been on appetite suppressants when I already didn’t have much appetite. Nothing worked, I generally like health foods, so eating healthy is not an issue. I also have pcos and endometriosis which make it almost impossible to lose weight. It took me a lot of therapy to realize this wasn’t my fault, because of ignorant comments like yours. That’s very ugly of you to just assume someone can help it, or even realizes it’s happening or can do something about it, not everyone can
It’s an ad. What do you think they’re going to be showing you?
Then don’t watch no need to be rude for the sake of being rude
Am in Kenya , please how do I loose weight naturally without surgery.
Eat healthier and drink lots of water.
Eat smaller portions 5 times a day and don’t eat anything for 3 hours before bedtime. Drink an 8 oz glass of milk with your dinner, it digests as a solid and helps your digestive system process your food.
Eat less amd fat burning calories only, and jogg in the morning and evening.
You need to look into intermmitent fasting and water fasting. It’s brilliant and healthy for the body
Cut all you eat in half
100% american
You are probably right🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸
