Whats up everyone? My name is Jacob (Jake) Steele. I am currently a junior at the University of Delaware. I started the year at 334 lbs (Trust me, that hurts to say) But after struggling with weight for so long, I think I finally found something that works. First of all, I quit eating junk food and I completely cut out soda. To lose weight, you can't continue to eat this kind of food. I maybe lost like 2 lbs my first week of doing that but I wanted to lose weight faster and still be able to eat good food. Thats when I found a company who specializes in helping people lose weight. I thought, why not. (I don't want to post the website because I don't want to be banned for trying to market, but if you are interested, please comment below and I can tell you what I did). Anyway, this program gave me some shakes for in the mornings, some cleansing thing, an app on my phone that gave support, told you what to eat, when to eat, the recipes for meals and even a grocery list in case you didn't know what you needed. This was key because being a college student, I wasn't used to doing actual grocery shopping. I have been doing this for 2 weeks and I am proud to say that I have lost 13 lbs!! I just wanted to share this story with you all. If you have a similar story, please share. I love listening to success stories because I finally consider myself to be one! Thank you all for using your time to read this!

Congratulations! Sounds like you are off to a good start. Cutting out junk food and soda is huge. Good job. I think I need to do that again. What kind of exercises are you doing?
Thanks for the reply! I weight train everyday that I can. I walk 2 miles a day roughly (just walking back and forth to class) and occasionally go for a run. Mainly, I watch what I eat and I cook food based on an app I got from doing the Chris and Heidi Powell challenge. They also give shakes with 16g protein, 7 grams fiber and Vemma formula (including 12 daily vitamins, 65 trace minerals, mangosteen, aloe vera, and Green tea) The challenge is awesome and is interactive. I highly recommend it!
Sounds cool.
