Hi all,
I happened to come across this site, so I decided to sign up and join up.
A little about myself: I am in a seemingly small group that has lost weight by not following any trend, diet, or fad. Around here, I am an oddity, and most are resentful, but a very few close friends and family know how dedicted I was and are supportive.
Two years ago: 48 years old, male, 5" 10', 335 pounds, 56 inch waist.
Today: 50 years old, male (yeah, still haha) 5" 10' 175 pounds, size 32 waist.
What did it for me? The morning of my 48th birthday, November 11th, eating my candy bar and two liter coke for breakfast. At that moment, I decided I was going to die, so I created my own diet..the "I don't wanna die before I am 50" diet. I lost the weight in 11 months, as I did not CHEAT at all the entire time and wrote down everything I ate for an entire year, as one of the motivational tools I used that worked for me. No, I do not have any medical problems, and was wrong not to get medical advice first, but I was very lucky I had no problems to begin with.
No gimmicks, smoke or mirrors..just HARD WORK, research, trial and error, counting calories, cardio and weights. I will be glad to share my story with anyone who is interested..most around here are not.
Oh, my wife also lost 50 pounds and now weighs 120. She had no choice..I do all the cooking! Oh, and I had to spend a FORTUNE on new clothes!!!
Sorry..this is a long intro, but I tried to get in the improtant stuff.
Thanks, and I welcome any responses, good or bad!!
