It's freedom: Freedom from $2,100/ month in meds for life. Freedom from from waking up with numb, burning feet, having nightmares you're going to get them amputated. Freedom from looking in the mirror and hating what you've become, and knowing that isn't who you really are but not knowing how to get him back. Freedom to drive past the junk food. Getting eye contact from strangers and being seen. No longer being judged in the restaurant for being the giant cow at the table and the only one not ordering the "kale and chicken breast salad". Who wants to be the next raging success story? 😍🥰

Hey, guys, 3 months into the protocol. I'm somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd phase. I've maintained my 50-pound loss plus still losing steadily, I still haven't started exercising yet, I'm just enjoying eating good food until I'm stuffed...while still losing weight at a comfortable and consistent pace. I'm now smaller than I was in high school, it's been exciting and sentimental fitting into my old clothes from 10 years ago. I feel happier with my life overall, and confident in my body. I'm getting lots of random compliments that I've never been used to in my life. Like getting called "tiny" a lot now. It's unnerving. 🤨 I saw my mom today, we had our mother-son brunch and caught up on each other's life updates. She said she could tell whatever I'm doing is working, she still hates that I don't "eat my vegetables" 😆 My dad thought I looked so great, he's on his third week into the protocol and getting some phenomenal results himself, even being in his eighties and not too big to begin with.

I finally got my new job after searching for a month, as you can see in my school boy uniform. I'm feeling good, my gray pants you can see there are fitting from my college days back in Mexico City. I like the community relaunch, I'm a lifelong believer in the protocol and what Danielle is doing to help people like me who struggled with being overweight and nothing worked for very long. I'd kind of given up and just accepted I was a big guy. If anyone else can give a short video to help her relaunch, it will help a lot. It would be amazing to see her give more men their life back like she did for me.

Checking in with the group, Hey all! I am happy to tell you as of this morning's weight in, I'm officially 185 lbs!

Mark's just begun his 8th week on the protocol, and is probably in the 45-50 pound loss range. I've been doing this for years, But while I Believe it.... I don't even believe it. @Mark Townsend , you blow my mind. Every time we chat for our checkins, or you share your soul with a gutwrenchingly-beautiful and story here in the group, no matter who has shouted at you, thrown away your groceries, bullied you at work, chased you out of supermarkets, the thousands of miles on the road, the Zero sleep, the family resistance at first(surely you've convinced them by now that we're not crazy), in spite of all this you're still fighting away. I see an Entirely New Man. You're like a butterfly, emerged as someone you deserved to be all along, just needed that nudge. Not that hopeless guy, in pain, who could barely breathe before whom I wouldn't have trusted with a loaded knife... 😆 You look like a backlit television screen, glowing from the inside. Look at the life in your eyes! I couldn't be more proud of you if I tried. What Do You Think He Should Do Next?
