Made my 100!

I have finally made my 100lb weight loss. At last week's weigh in a was down a total of 107lbs!

Back in June I had come across a sports nutritionist on Facebook. Her name is Tosha Knopp. She is a bariatric surgery patient and had her surgery in 2013. As she was going through her weight loss process she realized that she was not getting the proper nutrition and decided to become a sports nutritionist. Through her process she has decided to form a company called Bari-Fit. Her process focuses on macro-nutrients, proteins, fats, carbs and fiber. She was offering, at the time, to set macros for patients. I read about it and thought it was a good idea. In June I was going through a little bit of a stall on losing weight and as soon as I had my macros set and started following them, the stall was broken and my weight loss continued. Fast forward to the end of August and she had officially launched Bari-Fit and was doing not only macros but also developing a weight lifting regimen for patients. After talking to her and talking to Heather, I decided to retain Tosha as a personal trainer. The first week after having my macros adjusted and a weight training regimen I lost a whopping 6.1 lbs in one week!  Tosha knows her stuff and I am proud of being a part of the launch of her new company helping those who have gone through the surgery. With her help and guidance I hope to gain more strength, muscle and reduction of body fat. I've even gone so far as submitting pictures to Tosha for use on her website www.bari-fit.com.  I can't believe that I did that. Prior to the surgery I NEVER would want my picture taken, let alone shirtless. Now I have them up for the world to see. Any rate, here are pictures from my 100lbs weight loss.
