🚨 WEIGH IN 32 🚨
•285.7 pounds (ATH 530+ pounds)
•Frank has lost 250+ pounds overall
This week, Frank had his blood drawn and got a full report from his doctor. The results speak for themself:
When Frank was 530 pounds+ / A1C 11+:
•High risk of premature death
•High risk of stroke
•High risk of stroke
•High risk of kidney disease
•High risk of vision loss
•High risk of neuropathy
•A LOT of medications
This week’s doctor report results:
•Blood sugar: A1C 5.5 (normal)
•Lost 250+ pounds overall
•All medications lowered or stopped
•Moving toward diabetic remission
—Biggest update: Frank’s BMI is now 43.5 down from 69.9 in 2020 that’s a 37% reduction under 6 years! This is almost UNHEARD OF.
Taking all of this into account, Frank has added QUALITY YEARS to his life.
Frank’s doctor also gave Frank a referral for a consultancy on plastic surgery for his excess skin. His excess skin likely weighs at least 30 pounds, which means he’s probably already around 250 pounds.
Frank came in to work looking a bit dejected about weigh in today. He always wants to lose big numbers to inspire his fans and doesn’t want to let anyone down. He expected to be about flat.
I continue to impress upon him that he is past the era of shredding pure fat and is now building foundational muscle around his body.
Frank’s weight has consistently fluctuated between 279-284 over the last couple of months. His diet has been good and obviously his walking and lifting have been consistent, so lack of weight loss has not been a concern. He even hit 3 30K step days this week.
As we suspected, the plateauing weight is due to Frank rapidly gaining muscle faster than he is losing fat. He has been lifting weights 3X per week for almost 6 months and the results are hitting.
His muscle development is clear in both appearance and increased strength + agility. In the Frankie Fitness videos, you can see Frank beginning to really struggle at the end of sets with significantly improved form (core strength).
SO SO SO PROUD OF FRANKIE … I know he prefers seeing massive weight loss weigh ins, but his body is transforming in the best, natural, healthy way. His wins are more complex and substantial than just weight loss now.
And by the end of our walk through the NYC sweltering heat, he agreed and smirked.
Anudder weigh in in the books
Here is a huge positive to modern life that gets no press.
I have an old 2009 Toyota, and the AUX port crapped out about a year ago. Went to YouTube. Young, enthusiastic guy explains how to fix it.
It is not obvious - involves taking the dashboard apart in a counter-intuitive way, but once you see it, it's a 15 minute fix.
There are actually dozens of videos showing how to do this, and they collectively have well over 200k views.
Had this happened in 1995, I would have just lived with it. But the combo of the replacement AUX jack available from Amazon and the video of the simple (but not obvious) fix, I fixed it.
I HAVE DONE THIS DOZENS OF TIMES. Replaced the control panel of my dishwasher. Replaced the ice maker in the fridge. Fixed a wonky sanding head on my drill press. Mastered a bandsaw technique that I use for my sculpture. On and on and on...
I think it is likely no exaggeration to say billions of fixes and skill upgrades have been performed worldwide that would not have been performed if it were not for the instruction freely given peer-to-peer on YouTube.
Take a moment to be happy about this. The busted item keeps performing, rather than going to the landfill. The person learning and doing the fix gains a sense of mastery and saves money. It's an unmixed blessing.
Stop doomscrolling. Think of what is busted in your house, find the YouTube video on how to fix it, and fix it.
@bryanst121@Osint613 I'm asking you to give me a source showing Iran fired missiles after the cease fire, or hezbollah for that matter before the Israelis fired at them. My grandparent's were the descendants of poor Irish farmers... know anything about the history of ireland?
