Getting healthy before the Holidays

It all started October 1st or as we in the LDS culture say... Conference weekend. I decided to take life by the horns yet again and really commit to a 7 day cleanse right after I got royally cleansed from a colonoscopy about a week prior. Needless to say I am a was feeling pretty cleaned out by the 2 week of October.

I purchased products from something I have been researching for some time now and finally got the funds to purchase the M3 pledge products, that include a vanilla all vegan protein shake, a chocolate fiber drink and some pills called Burn that help keep my metabolism up and help me burn calories through out the day and curb my munchies. I also purchased a product that is called Trim but as most of the people call it is Liquid Gold that helps absorb fat cells and helps with skin, joints and much more!!! During my 7 day kickstart I also took a 3 day product that is used to detox your body and cleanse your gut for good gut health support. It tasted like lime gatorade but looks like seaweed smoothie.

I lost a pound and a half and from last week I weighed 436. I got pretty upset and expected more as I gave up carbs, ate clean and healthy with veggies, the products and the trim. I was thankful to learn that others taking this product experience the same thing and learned that on this journey it is more about the way we are feeling, the inches we are losing rather than the calories we count and the pounds we record.

Honestly, I felt great!!! I got full faster, longer and had not munchies or cravings and had more energy. I am heading into my 3rd or maybe it is more like my 4th week on this product and I have done well and gave it my commitment, but then I just hit a wall and a sea of depression.

I have been struggling with my ankle in pain, my left elbow in pain and my back pain is still ever so present. Along with a laundry list of other issues of stress and just not getting the best sleep with my sleep apnea acting up.

THE Struggle is real and each day I press on.

I would like to say that I have sat down to dinners and only ate half of my meal, my stomach seems to be shrinking and I can go for long periods of time with out any hunger pain WHEN I am faithful to the program and I know that it can and will help me. I have noticed my pant feeling a bit looser, my wheezing not so severe and I notice a better and healthier me even if it is still 438 lbs.

I want to reach out to those that are my size, those that bigger than 300 lbs and the day to day of the reality of your situation.. I would say to you - "Keep moving regardless of movement, walk a little more each day, do a little more each day and do your best to eat better than the day before; you can do it if I can do it."

The journey & battle - DAY 11

Howdy, I want to thank all those that took a moment to read the last post. I am now on day 11 of my 84 day journey to lose weight and be healthy. Linda wanted me to let you know what my bad health journey has looked like. The past few years I have weighed over 400 lbs, my back and knees constantly hurt and daily things that most take for granite like to tie shoes, button your pants up and walking in the park were and still are a daily battle. I get lots of boils and skin problems and rashes from my extra fluff. I knew it was time to take back my life these past few years and thanks to our jobs at comcast that we finally got the chance to get help. I am now on Day 11 and day 3 out of 5 on a Detox in which I only drink distilled water and 64 oz of Lemonade freshly squeezed and pure maple syrup for 5 days and no food.   Well day 3 is today and Comcast took us out to Carvers Restaurant for doing a great job at work. It is basically a Steak house and it is for sure one of the b

The push for greatness!

You know that time when you look in the mirror and say to yourself - "Let's do this!" that is what Linda and are doing. We might not say it in the mirror and on rare occasions say it out loud, but we are pushing ourselves for greatness daily. It is a battle, it is a real struggle. We are human, we have weaknesses and yes we eat chocolate when we get overwhelmed. It is the bigger picture, it is something thanks to Darren Hardy has educated me on and I thank him for his book and the chance to have met him. He wrote a book called "The Compound Effect" and in this book it is all about the long term and all the tiny small steps that lead us to greatness. Everybody wants to have the quick fix and instant fame. We took on a 12 week program and in this program we learned a lot. We have adapted new recipe's and a new lifestyle. The program is over, although we still do have some appointments we need to finish with the Doctor and it has been a great journey

Hi my name is Ryan aka PICKLE

Hello web people! This blog is all about my journey to get healthy in 2017, but first I must let you know why my name is Pickle. My last name is Pilkington and I served a LDS mission in 1995-1997 some would say a very long time ago. I am now 40 and will be turning 41 in May. My health has gone from bad to downright dangerous. I currently weigh 420 lbs. and I am proud to say that through this new lifestyle I am about to document that I have lost 12 lbs. Back to the nickname of "Pickle" - I served my mission on the Navajo Reservation for the most part and it was amazing. Since we go by Elder Pilkington, the locals started calling me Elder Pickle. Before I knew it everybody was calling me Elder Pickle. When I got home I kept the nickname to this day. So now to the health journey, I recently got hired at Comcast Universal and I work in the Payment services department. I basically ask for money all day long. From this job I was able to get into a 12 week program to lose weig
