Happy #rednoseday !! I got my #noseson in support

Happy #rednoseday !! I got my #noseson in support of @rednosedayusa whose mission is to end child poverty one nose at a time! I encourage everyone in the @wlstories community to do the same!! Weight loss is a complex beast. Both physically and mentally. When we climb a wall we have a moral obligation to extend a hand and help the next person’s climb be just a little bit easier. For years I’ve always called weight loss a journey. One with no ending or destination. In regards to the mental aspects that we face, there is a very strong chance you can find some of the initial root-causes somewhere in the early and formative years of your life. And while we can’t go back in time and help the younger us, we can do like we always do in this community: help those who come after.
I challenge ALL OF YOU to do the same!! I You don’t need to go to @walgreens you can #stayathone and still get your “NosesOn” with a digital Red Nose!! (Click the link in bio at @rednosedayusa for details.) We may be apart, but we can all COME TOGETHER and help better the lives of children. Through Red Nose Day 2020, we can make a great positive impact! Here are the ways you we can make a difference:
.
🔺$1 can provide nutritious food for a child.
🔺$5 can provide a child in need with online homework help and mentoring.
🔺$5 can help pay for medical supplies for a doctor’s visit.
🔺$35 can provide a set of bed linens for a young person facing homelessness.

Join me in getting your “NosesOn!” I know these are incredibly tough times for everybody... If you can afford it, I highly encourage you to make a small donation to this amazing cause!! 📲🔴 p.s. @nbc TONIGHT!! Is the red nose special with @jackblack !!! #rednosedayambassador #rednoseday2020 #nbc #wlstories #tampafitness #transformationchallenge

IMPORTANT: Don’t let the stress of the world put

IMPORTANT: Don’t let the stress of the world put you in a position where you’re eating your way through the news cycles. These are stressful times, and while you can’t control the outside world, the one thing we CAN control is what’s on your plate. Cooking is one thing we need to do during social distancing so we might as well enjoy the process. It makes time go by faster and presents an OPPORTUNITY to learn and grow our talents!! My dinner this Sunday night 👉 @realgoodfoods bacon wrapped stuffed chicken with pepper jack cheese!! (Spicy and INSANELY GOOD!!) 380calories 32 grams of protein!!! Only 3 carbs!! Paired with spinach salad (my all-time favorite) a lil low cal blue cheese @kensdressings and @birdseyevegetables French cut green beans marinated it in a sweet pineapple-garlic sriracha glaze with a drizzle of sriracha on top....I made it fancy.
____________
Plus I get to show off my new @disney Ink & Paint series plates! how freaking cool are there’s?!? Where my Disney nerds at?? 😉 and I think even @crowmoonkitchen would be impressed by my mad plating skills.
Side note: I miss Disney and can’t wait until it’s safe to go again!! Maybe the next @wlmeetup has to be at Disney?! Anyway tonight’s total calories: 500 ish. For a FULL MEAL that insanely filling. How can you beat that? A lot of this journey is simply about changing the way you think about food not depriving yourself!!!! The moral of the story is you can have what you want you just have to be smart about it. Count calories and don’t beat yourself up when you have a bad day. Hopefully this message helps somebody in our community.

5k stands for 5 different layers of clothing when you do @rungasparilla when it’s 45 freaking degrees outside!!! The things I do for a shiny medal. Lol ....I would like to thank the lovely folks over at @underarmourfor making cold-weather gear in the eventuality of global warming making the “sunshine state” of Florida have to deal with 45 freaking degrees. Running shirt, cold weather sweatshirt w/ hoodie, Gasprillia race shirt, running shorts, sweatpants, hat. This is the second year I’ve done this race! Last year was like 85 degrees so go figure. @rundisney is next!! ...ON THE BRIGHT SIDE: after doing this a couple of times I’m really looking forward to the @wlstories virtual 5k we’ve been planning!! I just have to convince / recruit a few people to help me organize it (@laurakbradley wink wink.) DM if you’re wanna help out!! It should be fun and if you know me and my meetups you can be guaranteed one hell of a swag bag!! Stay warm folks!! #wlstories

Today is #adayforsaintleo and #facetofacefriday !

Today is #adayforsaintleo and #facetofacefriday ! So I figured I’d do a St Leo Edition Face 2 Face! Many of you might know I’m a big fan of Saint Leo University, the friends I made, and the values I’ve come to live, were developed here. Even the core values of @wlstories was built around the values that Saint Leo advocated. The core values, although unique to Saint Leo University, are universal. These core values are excellence, respect, responsible stewardship, personal development, community, and integrity. Sound familiar wlstories community 😉 I only wish I had more photos of me in college this photo I pulled out of the yearbook I took today as an opportunity to reach out to a bunch of old college friends and see if they had any photos of me. I always used to hide from the camera. Offer to take the photo as a way to get out of being IN the photo. so maybe we find something cool?? —————————
I currently serve as a member of the Saint Leo Alumni Board of Directors. It’s my hope to give back to the university in any way I can. Today is our community fund raiser day. I know for a fact a lot of my IG friends are fellow Saint Leo alumni! I encourage you all to give today even if only a dollar every donation no matter how big or small sends a message. #saintleo #stleo —————————

#dollypartonchallenge since this is now trending and because I didn’t want to feel left out of the cool kids table I did this. I started seeing this all over the interwebs. I think I look best in the suit and tie... just sayin. P.s. NOT on Tinder. Lol Seriously everybody’s doing it. @vsg_kingtut_77 then @ashleynicole_vsg then I saw the freaking @mets do it with @polarpete20 soooo wth let’s have some fun!! So while we will make fun of doing this in a year...I’ll take any excuse to celebrate who you are and how awesome you can be when you love who you are. I challenge @crowmoonkitchen @caseynigmaa @osnapitzsaraxo @curvygymrat @fitrichinfaith and @julie_fit_chick to do this. Only because I wanna see more people in our community doing it 🙂 _______________________

Did you know we can thank Dr. King for @wlstories

Did you know we can thank Dr. King for @wlstories ? Details below 👇 ...My favorite all time quote comes from the man we all celebrate and honor today. Dr. King. When I first started on my journey I used to keep motivational quotes on my phone to look at while working out. For the first few months this quote WAS my screen saver on my phone. I absolutely LOVE it and really ALL of Dr. King’s writings. (I’m a history buff) No matter how slow you THINK you’re going...keep going. The best part: You’re usually doing better then you think. YOU GOT THIS. THANK YOU Dr. King: this quote and others actually filled up my phone’s memory...to save my quotes to use at the gym I went looking for a way to upload them to the internet...I picked instagram...created an account, uploaded the quotes...the positive feedback gave me courage to upload my first transformation pic...which lead to... WLSTORIES The largest non-profit weight-loss support group in the world! Even some of Dr. Kings teachings / themes can be found every day on wlstories... love, light and faith. Funny how things work! - Keith aka @6months100pounds

Today is my 7th #fitaversary !! Read below for inf

Today is my 7th #fitaversary !! Read below for info that’s NOT on @wlstories ...It’s so easy to get lost in this journey. A fitaversary allows you to remember your why, renew your journey and sometimes more importantly realign it. Renewal: All things need renewal. Your mattress needs to be flipped, rooms re-arranged, etc... Yourself and your health journey included!! I've spend the last few days planning my 7th renewal. (Researching new protein shakes and blender to better help my regime... one of my goals is to schedule my life better and this will have to include food / diet. We cant be afraid to renew / change. Even @wlstories itself has to change over the years... I've been planning that the last few months actually.) Change is a cycle that's needed to adapt and grow. So how can you change today? This week? This month? In your diet? In your workouts / exercise? In helping others do the same? Even in love. If you’re waiting for a new year, new week, new whatever I want you to know EVERY MOMENT IS YOUR NEW CHANCE. .... As for me, I’m still fighting the good fight. It’s still a struggle, every day will be. I don’t always win, I have good days / months and bad. Im not perfect but I’m trying. I’ve mastered the art of wingin it. Lol. But as long as you accept the journey is a life long one The simple act of trying is all you need to do to be successful on this journey!! .....THANK YOU again for all your love and support of the years!!! I’ve made so many amazing friends and had the honor of watching your journeys blossom over the years!! ________________

I want to show you MORE of the journey, specifical

I want to show you MORE of the journey, specifically the details of the journey that most people “influencers” don’t talk about. WHY? There’s nothing to sell you. Plus it’s not as sexy as a transformation photo or a half naked person on the Internet but this post is absolutely vital for your weight-loss success!! WATER: odds are you are not getting enough of it. Not even remotely. And if your brain starts to think about the water in other food and drinks that you consume and if it should count that’s definitely a sign you’re not getting enough water!! It’s not easy to constantly drink your daily needs. I personally do 133 ounces a day but google / ask a doc what’s best for you.) Like anything in life if you can design your surroundings to be more successful... you WILL BECOME MORE SUCCESSFUL! MY TIP: Recycle water bottles! That’s what I do! I use a @pur.water filter and refill bottles. These bottles are disposable and specifically designed by large powerful corporations to make you consume MORE of the contents. ESPECIALLY the poweraid bottle. The hole at the top is actually not a traditional circle, it’s designed to help you consume larger servings every time!! The best part is you can accidentally leave them in the car or at the gym and not feel bad that you lost your fancy expensive bottle. I replace the bottles with new ones as needed. This low cost but HIGHLY effective solution is what I use to maintain my intake. Whatcha think? Got any other ideas? Share them with me in comments!

I’ve been wanting to post more! Specifically on

I’ve been wanting to post more! Specifically on eating and working out. Sunday is when I have the most time and when I try to meal prep. So this is Sunday night 👉 HERE’S WHAT IM EATING!! @realgoodfoods bacon wrapped stuffed chicken with pepper jack cheese!! (Spicy and INSANELY GOOD!!) 380calories 32 grams of protein!!! Only 3 carbs!! Paired with spinach salad (my all-time favorite) a lil low cal blue cheese @kensdressings and @birdseyevegetables whole grain rice w/ Broccoli and carrots!! Side note: I HATE broccoli 🥦....can’t stand the texture!!! I am somehow able to eat this and not realize it!!! A little secret: @sriracha2go covers up the flavor of the broccoli and makes it insanely delicious!!! Total calories: 500 ish. For a FULL MEAL that insanely filling. How can you beat that? A lot of this journey is simply about changing the way you think about food not depriving yourself!!!! This is going to be a stressful meal week for a lot of people because of thanksgiving. Plan ahead for the next three days and have fun on Thursday and you’ll stay on track!!! Full disclosure: I made double tonight and saved that for tomorrow as well.
The moral of the story is you can have what you want you just have to be smart about it. Count calories and don’t beat yourself up when you have a bad day. Hopefully this message helps somebody in our community. P.s: This is NOT an ad!! This is just a perfect example... healthy versions of what you already love.

“LIVE THE LIFE YOU IMAGINED.” -Thoreau. Only b

“LIVE THE LIFE YOU IMAGINED.” -Thoreau. Only because I haven’t done a #facetofacefriday in a loooong time!! I’m slowly but surely (Don't call me shirley...what movie is that from!! 😉) getting my life back on track... I’m spending the next five days re-organizing and focusing on time management. Working a corporate full-time job, and managing the 500k+ members of wlstories (the largest nonprofit weight loss / body positive support group in the world) let alone trying to have some sort of personal life over the years has really got the best of me!! honestly time management and finding a happy medium in my life balance has been a huge struggle for me. I might do a separate post on this actually. Being more active and involved in my own life and putting it as a priority is going to be the next phase of my life. This is my attempt to get back on track and in a very Henry David Thoreau way: Live the life I imagined. #wlstories

Can we make #SupermanSunday a thing? The old KEITH

Can we make #SupermanSunday a thing? The old KEITH would’ve avoided the cameras, let alone pose as Superman. This Halloween I was doing a lot of thinking and this is my #NonScaleVictory ...Over the last 7 years of my journey I dress up way too many times as superman. Lol. In all due fairness a good portion of that was during Halloween. ....but not always! (..p.s. the Clark Kent is the BEST office costume. You’re dressed up but still in a suit.) Especially at the gym, where I can use it as motivation to stay longer or go a little bit harder or just generally have a little extra fun in a place where most people don’t love being at. Having fun on this journey matters. Enjoying the moment matters. Enjoying who you are as a human being matters. No matter how much weight you carry... don’t let the battles we all fight in our head weigh you down.

Being organized and planning for success is a very

Being organized and planning for success is a very important part of our journey!! Using the old wine rack to store your shaker bottles is just one tip... I would love to see what other ideas / tips / tricks you use that works for you!! ....A couple months ago I asked in my IG stories for suggestions on how to properly organize my shaker bottles. @steph.losing gave me an epic idea! Use a wine rack!! To be fair a few other people mentioned it as well but Stephanie was first 😉 I found this bad boy sitting at Goodwill for only a $1!! I cleaned the living heck out of it and now it sits in my kitchen!! Totally freeing up A LOT of counter space!! (I’ve been on an organization kick of late in my apt.) When I took a photo of it and posted on IG stories I got over 40 messages from people saying what an amazing idea it was. (I don’t think I’ve ever gotten as big of reply from a IG stories post! That wasn’t @wlstories related) So it made me think: WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE??!! It doesn’t have to be product related!! What other tips and tricks have you found on your lifestyle that work for you it might work for others? My list:
1. My cauliflower rice works as a great healthy side dish under 100 calories,
2. Using old power aid bottles as disposable waters is one of my favorites!! The bottle is designed to make you want to drink more! And you don’t worry about losing the bottle somewhere!! 3. A lifesaver mint can help when u craving unhealthy foods or food when it’s not time to eat (for me helps with late night snacking.) What are your Lifestyle hacks?

#transformationtuesday COLLEGE EDITION. A couple w

#transformationtuesday COLLEGE EDITION. A couple weeks ago as a member of the @saintleoalumni Board of Trustees; I had the honor of taking part in the presidents inauguration ceremonies. I got to wear a cap and gown for the first time since 04, this photo is in the bottom right. (I didn’t walk for my Masters degrees.) I sat in the same gym as I did in 2004 and had a chance to reflect on the person I’ve become since the photo from 04. In many ways I grew and in many many ways not so much lol. I’m still the same guy who doesn’t know when to go to sleep at night, I’m still the same guy working on goals, trying to help others. I take great satisfaction and trying to better myself and those around me every day. This is perhaps the most important lesson I’ve ever learned from Saint Leo...... Sidenote I really can’t tell if I’m getting chubby again or getting old. Maybe both? I’ve been stressed the last six months or so...I probably gained more weight than I want to but I’m not overly worried. Going to do another post about this in detail. The Cliff Notes version: This is a journey. There will be ups and downs, you’ll cross puddles and you’ll cross oceans. But you will cross them. #wlstories

Does a leaf fail when it falls to the ground? A lo

Does a leaf fail when it falls to the ground? A lot of people I’ve been speaking to lately have been down on themselves because they feel like they’ve been failing. It’s OK to want to be better in life. To set goals and try to achieve them. HOWEVER, It’s not OK to get down on yourself and become your own worst critic. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve failed in life. I’ve lost count how many times I failed on this weight loss journey. The act of failing does not define who I am. We all will fall down in life... it’s what we do with that fall is what matters. Does a leaf fail when it falls to the ground? No. That leaf will become the fertilizer in the ground that will make the tree grow even bigger in the future. This failure is inevitable and beautiful. Just like ours. Embrace your failure, embrace your past, it’s what made you so awesome today! #wlstories

Let’s talk about food! What I eat and WHY! ... F

Let’s talk about food! What I eat and WHY! ... First a brief intro: A lot of people have asked me to post on my personal page more. Frankly I’ve been focusing much on the larger community but I truly do miss sharing who I am, what I do, what make me...me. In an effort to be more transparent I promise I will be sharing A LOT more... The good, the bad and the indifferent. Just like I did when I started this page almost 7 years ago!! (Wow I feel old!!) I love food! Let’s be honest there’s no way I would’ve gotten so big if I didn’t enjoy a good meal. Probably had an unhealthy relationship with food growing up which I’m sure didn’t help. (We can go deeper into that another time.) That being said what I do now to maintain my weight is CHEAT EVERY WHICH WAY I CAN!!! I count calories and honestly that’s always been the secret to my success. How do I cheat? I look for great tasting food that isn’t a calorie bomb. And eat at home as much as humanly possible. Here’s a pic of my Sunday night meal. @realgoodfoods Spicy Italian sausage (INSANELY GOOD!!) 250 calories 22 grams of protein!!! Some green beans and a Hawaiian roll... I will say the total calorie count would 350ish... for a dinner and I’m absolutely completely satisfied after. Epic dinner. Cheap. Spicy. Life is good. This is pretty much my normal routine nothing fancy. It’s how I maintain. Don’t get me wrong, I have cheat meals I have good months and bad... we all do and THATS OK!! The moral of the story is you can have what you want you just have to be smart about it. Count calories and don’t beat yourself up when you have a bad day. Hopefully this message helps somebody in our community. P.s: This is NOT an ad!! This is just a perfect example... healthy versions of what you already love.

Happy Birthday to me!!! Birthdays were never my thing. I always get into a weird mental place around them....probably why I created @wlstories ON my birthday. It was my attempt had changing things...myself and the world around me. Almost 7 years ago I started my journey. 4 years ago today I created @wlstories. I honestly don’t know what I’m more proud of. There has been a lot of ups and downs over the last seven years. This is a journey that never ends. You truly cannot enjoy the good days if you never experienced the bad days. I’ll try to make the best of today. And again tomorrow. Thank you everyone for the love today it was absolutely overwhelming!! I received hundreds of messages! REMINDER 👉 @wlstories has a birthday contest going on!! -Keith #wlstories

I almost didn’t post this...I wasn’t sure if

I almost didn’t post this...I wasn’t sure if I wanted to get into it honestly.... however that day is a day the world should NEVER FORGET on so many levels. We all saw our humanity that day... every spectrum of it. Love, love unconditionally and never forget. ...No idea how old I am but that was when I was still living in Long Island, NY. Before we moved to Vermont. I'm blessed with being a bit country and city. I'll always be a Vermonter, always be a proud New Yorker and very happy to currently live in Tampa, Fl my adopted home....on September 11th 2001 My English class got out at 9:30 am and I walked to the cafe of my college for breakfast. I remember looking up at the tv's that no one ever paid attention to and seeing NYC under attack. I'll never forget that day nor should we ever forget. I’ve been back a few times and have been seen the recovery from debris everywhere to a park with two waterfalls where footprints used to be. There’s a weird peace to the never ending healing there. I would highly recommend everyone should pay their respects to the site and never ever forget what happened there. Love the people in your life. Love unconditionally, Remind them daily they are loved and never forget how precious life is. On a side note remember we owe a debt we can never repay to the first responders that day. In the course of any tragedy or disasters find hope in the eyes of the helpers. God Bless Them ALL.

How’s this for a #tbt shoutout to the AMAZIN @j

How’s this for a #tbt shoutout to the AMAZIN @jasminestylestv who I had the honor of being able to meet with @halfthegal (Together we’ve lost over 350lbs!) with the media coverage from last year’s meetup! Jasmine should run for office! I was blown away how nice she was! Charm and charisma on a level I’ve rarely seen! Such a awesome human!! ...This was fun but little secret; I spent the entire night prepping for the meetup I got almost no sleep and was soooooo tired. Thank you so much to @halfthegal for stepping up and joining me!! This year’s meetup is this Saturday Aug 24th and while last year’s was a success this year’s on pace to totally surpass that!! I’m honestly intimidated a little about how big the event has gotten!! I’m a little scared about just how massive of an event this will be in the future!! I’m thinking convention one year. Come out and join us this weekend and thank you so much @jasminestylestv, @abc_action_news and @halfthegal for being so awesome! . .
🍍 Florida Meetup!! Aug 24th Tampa Bay. Message for details!!! . .

Special Shoutout to @bigdru616 I VERY RANDOMLY ran

Special Shoutout to @bigdru616 I VERY RANDOMLY ran into @bigdru616 this week at Target and I got a flashback to when I first started my journey.... I saw him at the gym A LOT.... EVERY day. He was clearly a body builder 100% a true pro and I was a very overweight dude who had no freaking idea what the hell I was doing... but I went to the gym every day, sometimes twice a day, I was there enough to become one of those faces u see at the gym a lot but never talk to. Every once in a while we would bump into each other, use the same equipment (not the same weights I’m STILL not on his level!) and he could not have been a nicer human being! He even showed me how to do things occasionally like proper form. A lot of people on a health and weight loss journey are scared shitless when they first start. The bodybuilders / gym pros are scary when you first walk into the gym. What I learned over the years is there’s no reason to be scared. But there’s every reason to be NICE... ESPECIALLY to newbies. I started my journey in a January. The gym was FULL of New Years res people. Anytime the gym is full it can be annoying... remember small simple acts even a friendly nod can sometimes lead to bigger things. A little silent encouragement and kindness was all I needed... I lost 170 pounds and created @wlstories with 500k members and 2.4 million unique views a week. I’ll because a few simple acts of kindness and a hell of lot of persistence. Thank you @bigdru616 .
