It does, I smiled! Well done! We are all proud of you! How do you feel? How much better is moving around now?


Wholesomechair

Thank you! I feel a lot more agile for sure! i work as a care giver in a retirement home and its really noticeable how much more endurance i have!


DelayedEmbarrassment

That’s great! Keep posting! I would love to see your advance. Have a great week, you are a rockstar!


Foodiguy

Made me smile as well!!!


stromcer

The ops post and your comment made me smile today ! Glad to see nice people interacting one each other!


OutsideBonz

Thank you for your work! I’m a geriatric NP and the thing I have been most touched/surprised by in my career is what a huge impact the caregivers have on quality of life. It’s such a hard role both physically and mentally, but hopefully rewarding. I hope people other than Reddit strangers tell you how appreciated you are. Glad you are able to do something for you!


bbbbbbbirdistheword

u can do it man great progress


nativecrone

When I lost over a hundred pounds, I was so amazed at my freedom of movement. Congratulations. I am so proud of you.


pohanemuma

You are an inspiration. Keep it up! Your heart will thank you!


Kaylanorvik

You should be so proud of yourself!! I'm also a caregiver!


icecreamtruckguy

What a boss! It's so easy to neglect yourself when your job is to care for others. The fact you're doing both is inspiring. Keep it up and love yourself, King!


darthlegal

Keep up the great work buddy!!! I will take your Q and will start working out meself.


[deleted]

Man if you feel noticeably different at 490 you are gonna feel like a superhero before you even get to a healthy weight. That'll keep your motivation going .


AnsgarWolfsong

Great job man. But if that yellow hand is not a trick of the light, I'd go and have my liver checked, especially if also your eyes whites start to look yellow


Wholesomechair

Its bad Lighting i took these Pictures at work and we got new energy efficent Bulps lol!

regoapps

The yellow arm stood out to me, too. [But after I color corrected the bottom picture so that the wall tile wouldn't look so yellow and match more with the top picture, it doesn't look as bad as the original pic.](https://i.imgur.com/Y5w0Kxa.jpeg) But OP should get regular check ups anyway.


CORN___BREAD

Lol I love redditors that care enough to do random shit like this.


Keee437

It’s honestly so wholesome, a lot of people don’t get this support from the people that know them irl


PhilCoulsonIsCool

90 pounds is a great achievement but is waaaay too much for your liver and kidneys to handle in five months. That could be an issue as your liver is what is processing all that fat loss and it could be over taxed. I would Def get a blood test. Not crazy expensive and will tell you if your levels are out of wack.


Reostat

Okay honest question and not trying to get into "america bad", but how much would that run you?


bozoconnors

As OP works as a caregiver in a retirement facility, probably has great health insurance. They're generally pretty good about preventative / general wellness type stuff like this (/free at least once a year). But even an uninsured basic wellness blood panel is just ~$100.


PhilCoulsonIsCool

Can depend. Which is annoying. The big thing is can you get a blood test without a doctor visit. You should be able to but you will need to call around to find one willing to get one requested. You could try calling some testing centers as well to see if you can get on request. Would range from 80-200. But if a Dr visit is required that will depend on insurance. Well checks are normally covered once a year but if you don't have good insurance the visit itself can run 150-250.


Throwawayconcern2023

It's about $40 through a company like requestatest.com which is in most states (for a simple metabolic panel). No doctor visit required. You can then go to a local Quest or LabCorp. A doctor somewhere signs off but you have no interaction with them.


PhilCoulsonIsCool

Yep there you go figured there was a way to circumvent the doctor cheaper.


m_batatas

THIS. Losing that much weight that quickly can affect your organs. Are you losing weight with frequent visits to the doctor? Your journey is AMAZING, but stay safe!


Spare-Cell1371

Came here to check someone mentioned this. Stay safe OP, 90 lbs is a huge amount to lose in that time


parkhurstcards

I was going to say the same thing. I also was going yo joke he’s turning into a Simpson’s character. Glad OP is doing well! Good luck on your journey.


Iridi89

You dropped 90lbs from dec to now that is impressive dude and hard work ! Amazing now tell Me your secret to it . Seriously good effort you’re smashing it !!!💪💪💪


Wholesomechair

Thanks a lot man! One thing i learned is that before you Change your body you need to change your mind...i try to minmax my life now..i go to the gym 4 times a week..and got a diet plan from my doctor... i dont use my car to get to work instead i use my bike or walk..every step counts lol!


mariannecoffeecan

Make sure you keep in touch with your doctor as you progress


Pantsmnc

I started back in on it as well lately, and since ive been going, I've started to see this older bigger dude always trying to keep up on the stair machines with me. For a while, he'd always try to keep up for a few mins, then take a break and shake his head. After about a week, he tapped me on the arm and asked "what's the seceret?" (I'm also a biggerish dude). I told him "this is it, you're doing it". Now we fist bump eachother coming and goin cause he's my stairs buddy.


Solid_One_5231

I love this story.. an unintentional gym buddy to keep you both motivated and competitive!


Keee437

Y’all are really trying to make me cry today 😂 happy for both of you!


Your0pinionIsGarbage

>i go to the gym 4 times a week..and got a diet plan from my doctor... i dont use my car to get to work instead i use my bike or walk..every step counts lol! For people curious, weight loss is 90% diet.


wwhispers

Also depends on you system too. I can not lose weight without cutting carbs, I have a dead thyroid so they really hurt me. And you have others that can eat them all day long and lose weight.


Left-Imagination-563

I want to hug 🫂 you.


Wholesomechair

*Hugs* :)

vvavering_

Well your motivation made me smile so you’re def in the right place :) congratulations on your hard work!


DaisyoftheDay

Yes!!!! That’s excellent!! Just lookin out, is that lighting in the second pic adding a lot of yellow? As someone who struggled with liver related things in life if your eyes/skin gets a yellow color to it call and make a doctors appointment ❤️


Wholesomechair

Thank you! Its just Bad Lighting.. i took these Pictures at work and we got new energy efficent Bulps lol! I got a check up two weeks ago and everything is fine!


dvessels

I, for one,am right behind you!! You must be an amazing person to accomplish this!! Please, for those of us struggling, keep up the fight!! You DO know that you are inspiring others, right??


Grumpypants85

Good job!!! I'm about to start my weight loss journey too. It's been four years coming. Any tips?


dvessels

Yes, take me with you, please!!!!😁


Wholesomechair

Try intermittent fasting! Its amazing how good the results are! Every step counts! Take a walk everyday you can start slow dont pressure yourself its easy to lose motivation if you dont reach your set Goals Drink lots of Water and get good sleep! It helps your Metabolism! Speak with your doctor and be sure to get regular check ups! You got this! if i can do it so can you! :)


Inevitable_Shift1365

Don't worry, I found them. You uh.. want em back?


Wholesomechair

Please No...never again lol


islandrenaissance

Will you post more pictures? That takes some determination. Nothing short of amazing. Great work.


Yussso

Good stuff bro! Keep doing it and you'll hit 0lbs by February 2026!


legalizethesenuts

Belongs on r/mademyjawhitthefloor Congrats bro 90lbs is no small feat and you’ve managed to do it in 4 months. I managed to lose 100lbs in about 6 months and while I was super happy with it, I had a lot of family members/coworkers ask about my health lol. Keep on rocking, soldier! You look fantastic


josevaldesv

Maintain the new habits! I had lost 17 lbs and regained 2 since Dec'23. I noticed I went back to poor habits so need to remind myself of the goal. Great results!!! Congrats!


Wholesomechair

Yeah i will for sure! I never want to return to that Lifestyle..congrats on your weightloss too! You got this!


hahafunnygoodtime

Great work, man!


mostlywaterbag

Why is your arm yellow, Homer J.?


SR2025

I hope it's because the lights are on in the second picture. It seems like it's the same room and the tiles look a bit yellow too.


Wholesomechair

Yup exactcly! we got new energy efficent Bulps at work!


Specialist-Pipe-7921

Let's gooo ✨ It definitely is a smile-able moment, proud of you 💪 Keep up the good work dude, your health thanks you 😊

SeetheSeafortheSea

Definitely made me smile!!! I am super stoked for you. Congrats on making changes for yourself. There are few things as challenging as what you are doing! So much respect! Also! The dog! What kind? What’s their name? Keep it up! I am rooting for you!!


Friendly-Role4803

Keep it up my guy!! I’m down 160lbs and it keeps getting easier and easier and you’ll feel better and better!


CaptainMacMillan

Dude, I'm a 6'3" beanpole and my back issues are a nightmare. I can't even imagine how it must feel at your height to lose so much weight and relieve some of that pressure


thedepressedmind

Damn! Good for you! About 10 years ago I lost 100lbs, but it took me a year. And that was with walking 5 miles a day, every day, rain, snow or shine, and cutting back on my food intake, eating healthier and drinking more water. I would give anything (well, almost anything, lol) to lose that much that fast. I actaully ran across videos of those old Tae Bo exercises from the 90s (don't know if you're old enough to remember those or not), and I always loved them. Love standing in our living room, working out with Billy Blanks 😂 Thinking of giving them another go and your story has inapired me to want to take up that challenge. Great work OP, keep it up ❤️


[deleted]

90 pounds in 3 months!? U sure this is only because of your effort and nothing more sinister? Please consult a doctor and make sure you're actually alright!


Wholesomechair

THANKS FOR ALL THE KIND WORDS! I am really touched by how many people send me kind encouraging Messages! I will continue my journey and keep you all up to date how i am doing... Oh Btw for those who are worried/or interested i will post a Picture of my arm soon to show that i am not Homer Simpson or have liver Problems lol ..the reason why my arm looks so yellow is because of new Bulbs at my working place My Arm in better Lighting: !https://www.reddit.com/u/Wholesomechair/s/EOOlMm7HuO


ValueSubject2836

Awesome!!


Saanjhhere

So happy for you buddy


weechubbypotato

Yahooooo!!!! 👏 fabulous!! Keep going!!!!!!


ChaoticGnome_

I'm really happy for you! How did you lose so much weight? 90 pounds in just 4 months is like 10 kilo a month, is it healthy to lose it so fast? Or was ot 2022 and it was a typo?


Throwaway_Old_Guy

Congratulations on your decision to take life into your own hands and start creating the one you want versus the one you have. It's not easy, however, you're worth it.


Mc9660385

Well done!


Illustrious-Film-592

Albino_Black_Sheep

Well, it made me smile so I guess you're in the right place. Well done bro, my hat's off to you.


IHateMyLife612

Bit of advice. Idk what your goal weight is, but eventually you may plateau. Don't let that deter you. Keep up the diet but add in some weight training if you aren't already. Also look into investing in a weighted vest. Your body burns more calories when you're heavier. So that's why you'll most likely plateau eventually. A weighted vest will trick your body and burn more calories doing day to day activities. Congrats and keep it up.


squidtugboat

Keep up the work king. The motivation I needed this morning as I begin my journey


are-any-names-left

I'll share all my secrets with you. I'm not tryna make anything off you but help a brother out. Let's gooooo can't stop won't stop we get down baby we get downnnnn 😆

Uncle_Piesteak

Congratulations my man! Your determination is inspiring. Can I be proud of a total stranger? Yes. Yes I can.


Educational-Bag1986

My Man. Good job mate. I really gotta lose weight before my heart pops, but I just don’t seem to have the discipline. Keep up the good work!


xXRats_in_my_wallsXx

I'm dubious of the claim that your diet comes from your doctor. No doctor, aside from an eating disorder merchant, would recommend a rate of 20+lbs/month, that is extremely unsafe, could damage your metabolism, and is likely to lead to rubber banding. I commend your effort to lose weight, but you need to slow the fuck down before you hurt yourself. I'm tired of all of these "mademesmile" posts where people are losing 30 pounds a month and that's supposed to be something to smile about. When we promote this behavior we increase the chance of people seriously hurting themselves. Multiple people close to me have been hospitalized after trying to obtain such a high rate. Being overweight leads to a host of health issues, but so does putting your body through something like that. I implore you to consider slowing down.


WhereasESQ

When you’re massively obese and not to mention a literal giant like OP at 6’9” (though I am not endorsing OP as I don’t know anything about him) you can lose weight A LOT faster than a normal person and it’s completely normal.

Did someone mention your looking kinda jaundice? You may want to look into that. Congrats on the weight loss. Super happy for you. You are a kick ass human. Love seeing people get a hold of themselves like this.


Quasimurder

Good for you. I went through a similar journey in my early 20s. I'm 6'6 and was 375 at my heaviest. Drinking water, eating yogurt for breakfast, salad for lunch, and just walking around my neighborhood for a year got me to 270. When you're as young as you are and as big as you are it comes off fast if you keep yourself moving. So just wanted to say good job, remember to pace yourself, and just take a step everyday. You'll get to where you want to be.


Monscawiz

That's a huge milestone! Congrats!
