John Setzler 14,958 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 After having lost a lot of weight, I'm having to replace my entire wardrobe and it's a slow going and expensive process.... How about this one? I can see some uses for a coat like this but not many... went with the one below instead.... This was a really nice Michael Kors jacket that I found on sale at a reasonable price.... The reality of ^^^^^ still amazes me sometimes. I'm still stuck in my weight loss and I'm trying to make some chages that will get me to my destination weight of 170 lbs. I have about 13 pounds to go and its just being stubborn!

Big Dawg 1,090 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Wow, John...that's great, and you should be really proud of yourself! NOT buying a new wardrobe is the impetus for my weight loss challenge; so far so good. BTW...IMO, you made the right call on the blazer! John Setzler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Setzler 14,958 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 I need a lot more 'stuff'. Last summer i lived in underarmour tech shirts and running shorts. I gotta buy a new set of warm weather clothes. I have cold weather covered fairly well but i haven't rebuilt my dress and dress casual inventory yet... that's the expensive stuff...

keeperovdeflame 10,181 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 John, what can i say, I am just very proud of you and the way you took charge and made a healthy change in your life style. Very impressive and an inspiration to us all. All the best to you, buddy. Grace and Peace. Ps. i kinda liked the purple paisley, It would look great with a gold ear ring.

Marshall Lucky 218 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 That is so cool. Great job, JS, in taking control of your lifestyle choices. John Setzler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

75tranzam 1,067 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Two suggestions John. Buy the purple jacket and use it in a KJ video please! It's OK to smile in pics... On a personal note I had gastric bypass surgery and lost over 150 pounds, you've done a great job, keep it up! John Setzler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squarehelmet 652 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 John...truly impressive. I wish more people could figure out how to do it. John Setzler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bwarbiany 2,323 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I needed new jeans... Partly because my old jeans were wearing out, partly because I've lost a fair amount of weight, and partly to impress all the new ladies Went to the Gap. As is usually the case for me, finding anything in the right size is impossible. So I grabbed anything in any color of standard, relaxed, or boot cut fit that was either 36/34 or 38/34. That was 4 pairs. Of the 4, only one fit and looked decent. Took it to the register, expecting it to be $55 minus 30% off... Not quite. Deal of the century! (And no, that wasn't an error or screwup on Gap's part. They said that somehow this pair had just been marked down over and over, and so that was the price.)

pesto3 3,148 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Absolutely amazing john! It doesn't look like you have any more weight to lose. John Setzler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tarheel 561 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 John, those before & after pics are impressive! I'm on a similar mission, trying to get from 230 to the 170 - 180 range. My weight has plateaued, I've been stuck around 198 for the last 2 months. Now that the weather is warming up it'll be easier to get out on the bike, so I'm hoping to jump start the progress again. I've been postponing clothing purchases, hopefully by June I'll be in the target range and can make some purchases. If successful I'm going to need almost everything...

I have bought stuff twice and 3 times in some cases. If I ever get this last 15 pounds off I may have to buy stuff again.... it's a battle! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigJoeLittleb 5 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Hey John, I'm new to kamado grilling/smoking/baking/roasting etc. Just bought a KJ Big Joe and have watched so many of your videos that I feel like you're my personal culinary advisor. We have noticed your weight loss. Congratulations! I am in the process of losing about 20 pounds myself and appreciate that I can cook and eat light with my new kamado grill. Your change has been inspirational! John Setzler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your change has been inspirational! Thanks It's been fun, interesting, painful, discouraging, exciting, depressing, and everything you can think of at one time or another. My diet has not involved cutting out the things I love to eat. I still eat most of the same foods I have always eaten but I have had to learn the art of moderation. I also have a relatively heavy exercise regimen that makes a difference. There are only a few things I have almost cut out completely. I still miss those things so much I can't even list them here for you BigJoeLittleb, rchang72 and mike echo 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
