I began my weight loss on a bad day, July 27th, 2019. Why was this a bad day? I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the UFC fight. I had a few beers and ate. I weighed in on July 26th at 232 pounds. My goal, get back to 200. On August 27th, I weighed 219 pounds. I was hoping I'd lose weight fast but losing it in a healthy way was more rewarding. I'm still in the gym 3 days a week and tell myself that muscle weighs more than fat so the number on the scale may not always reflect how I'm feeling. I also started paying more attention to what I was eating. I cut out bread and pasta. I reduced the amount of red meat (and I love a good steak). I still enjoy a drink but because I don't want to mess up my gains, I'm accountable to myself now where I wasn't before. As I'm writing this I'm now at 214 pounds. I'm halfway there. What has changed my life is my attention to the details of food. I'm hoping I can continue this habit and once I get to my goal weight, I'll continue to stay in maintenance mode. I'll still enjoy my cheat days but will have to stay committed so the weight doesn't creep back on.

The staff at Deja Vu have been motivating, fun, and most of all, have challenged me. I'm not one to back down from a challenge. When I first visited Deja Vu, I admit I was a little hesitant. I was greeted by a staff of all women and thought they wouldn't understand me. I was wrong, they have all been great and I feel I can openly communicate with them. They have made me feel more than just a customer. With all of the services they offer there is no avoiding getting to know them.
