The older I got, the bigger I got. I started at 278 and have been working out regularly for a year and have gotten down to about 260. I'm ready to get serious about the calorie intake and have started counting calories for the first time. I plan to run a reduced calorie diet for a few months under the supervision of my doctor to try to take a another big piece of weight off and then keep it off. Altering my relationship with food is going to be much harder than continuing the exercise.

Got down to a low of 176!!! I lost over 100lbs. I made lower calorie intake and regular exercise a part of my life. I had some major life changes and got fast and loose with my eating again. No problem, I know what to do, and I'm on my way back down again!
