A once-XXXXXL mom who had to have a double mastectomy to reduce her risk of cancer lost over 200 lbs. so she could have breast reconstruction surgery.
Tori Phillips, 39, long used food as comfort due to a tough upbringing and already weighed about 180 lbs. by the time she was 11. Over the years she tried diets and exercise programs, but she would always put the weight on again.
But a health scare in her late 30s was the push she needed to throw herself into losing weight, and she’s halved her body weight following a gastric sleeve, dieting, and surgery to remove excess skin.

I stopped eating between Supper and Breakfast , you know no late night lunch and 30+ pounds disappeared
Reminds me of the scene in the movie “Fatso” where Dom de Louise is holding a gun to his brother’s head: “Gimme those keys, gimme those goddam keys!”
There was no magic pill.
She had her body CUT OPEN and CUT APART to lose it.
And some “diet swaps” :)
Listen, food is extremely addicting to many..
And the surgeyr is a wonderful thing if it gives a child a mother or father for a much longer time...or saves that person years of agony or the state 100s of thousands in medical costs.
But let’s call a spade a spade.
She didn’t lose it by swapping some foods for others.
“Get da keys!”
Correct.
You don’t lose weight to get healthy, you get healthy to lose weight.
I told my doctor I wanted to lose 20 lbs of ugly fat. He said,
“No, you need your head.”
> She had her body CUT OPEN and CUT APART to lose it.
Yep, doesn’t seem like the best way to go about it.
What if the only time you eat is night time. No breakfast, no lunch, no dinner.
When i want to lose weight i go vegetarian, smaller portions, 5 meals a day and it melts off. I exercise 5 days a week already but can still put it on. It just works well for my body and im seldom hungry.
I have lost over 60 lbs. in the last year and trimming down even more. I get a lot of cardio and eat a balanced diet.
One can lose some serious weight by fasting or using the warrior diet. With the warrior diet you only eat once a day: not easy by any means, but neither is fasting.
Basically warrior diet. Once a day. It’s difficult: you can eat whatever and however much you want. After about 4 days your body will tell you what it wants.
A carnivor diet is even more difficult.
It’s all mind over matter.
Was that Dr. Vinnie Boombotz?
Tip your waiter! Try the veal!
I lost 160 pounds of ugly fat in about 2 hours one Tuesday morning. I should have never married her, 13 miserable years for nothing.
running?
I’ve been slowly getting up to running for 10 minutes, then walking, but it was really hard (and boring) at the beginning and it took me months to find it NOT boring
