Dwight, I respect your change. Only 8 years ago I was 305 lbs. I dropped down to 220 lbs going with pretty much an all fat diet. I also lowered my cholesterol, tri's, blood pressure all to mid normal ranges. I usually hit the elliptical in Jan through April. Right now I'm at 230 lbs and would like to get to 200 lbs. I'm 6'2" and 49 years old. My weight has always been a problem since college.
When you work your entire High School and College periods to gain weight for football, and then it's over, weight loss and maintenance can be real tough. 275 lbs looks real different when you spend 5000 to 6000 calories on a typical day working out and lifting at 20 years old. Even getting to 240 lbs, at this age, gets my key blood indicators to near diabetic levels without the activity level I once had.
I wish you well on your journey, it's a tough one for me. Constant vigilance and sacrifice at the table are all I know now.
I just got a new pond, I made it twice because I aint so bright.
