Dr. McDougall's Online Discussion Board

So I've been following the plant based lifestyle for the last 3 months and all I can say is WOW. I've listed some of the accomplishments below which is (I hope) enough reason for you to get moving on this journey

-I'm down about 80 pounds (from 315 to 235 as of this morning)
--down from a 2x to large size shirt
--down from a 46 pant to a 38 pant
-I'm off all HBP medication
-My ankle joints are pain free
-I have more energy for my kids than I've had in a long time
-I run... like actually run for fun
-My mental health has improved tremendously
-My chest pains which used to worry me are, for the most part, gone
-I eat a lot more

*I've included a photo update which was from last week compared to about where I was at. My fiance is also on this journey with me as you can see We're still not done though. This isn't a 'set it and forget it' adjustment. We still have a lot of work to do; both mentally and physically. I'm continuing to push myself so that my body is in the best shape of my life and so that I'm inspiration for many of you out there.



I just want to let anyone know that all things are possible with a little dedication and mind trickery. If you have the right inspiration and motivators in your life, you can do anything. This is no different. IT IS TIME TO TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE and stop relying on the doctor to tell you what you need to do. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. It is time to wake up before it's too late!

For my 3 week update, visit my post here https://www.drmcdougall.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=57843

Congratulations to you both and thanks for sharing!

Thank you! It definitely takes persistence. As I stated, this is just where the journey begins. I've got the rest of my life to live to continue this path

You both look incredible! So wonderful that you have someone with you on this journey. Best wishes on your continued success.

How marvellous, thanks for sharing your inspirational achievement!

Wow and congratulations. You both look so much healthier and happier in the second photo - it's not just the weight loss, it's how you look healthy.

Keep up the good work.

Wow indeed! A wonderful achievement - well done to both of you

Wow! Many congratulations to you and your fiancee. Your writing style is very motivational and inspirational and of course your photo tells the whole story. Now get on YouTube and share your journey with the world. You will inspire many young people and just think of all the good you can do while you are on the earth!
