Hello all,
been lurking here and at the other site. My story is common fat guy , yo-yo dieting started doing well about 8 years ago and ended up getting divorced. Gained all the weight back plus some. Recently went to the eye doctor and he said that if I dont wise up I will be blind by 60.
So I decided that it was time to put up or shut up!!!
Thus began the journey...
Started on Feb 6th 2012, 4 days after my 41st birthday, I was 360 LBS. Major bodyfat, out of shape. Type II diabetes. wasnt taking my meds. I just didnt care about anything. My diet consisted of chips pizza candy and 12 - 15 pounders of beer everynight. (no exaggeration) I was a train wreck.
Since then, I have started to diet and go to the Gym 5 days a week. I eat carbs only in the morning and taper off during the day. Primarily fish, chicken, cottage cheese and once in a while red meat coupled with veggies.
I lift 5 days a week and do cardio 5 days a week.
So far I have lost 50 pounds as of today. I've been checking my sugar levels for the last 2 weeks and they have been consistantly normal. between 86 and 108. I feel great and my 1st challenge is to get under 300. It will be the first time in 14 years!! Over all goal is to drop down to 200 and go back up to 225 the right way. I appreciate these forums and any and all advice. Although not put to good practice, I am fairly well read on nutrition and the like but i am no expert. I do some things that seem absurd for my weight and current fitness level (supplementation etc..) but I know what works for me..lol
