+4
I was 300+lbs for a long time, and I was displeased with how much weight I had gained, and knew I had to do something because my health was deteriorating and I was starting to have mobility issues. And so I picked up weights, hit the treadmill and asked my doctor for dieting and health advice and I am now around 260, which is a weight that suits my frame and height. I still have a bit of a beer gut from too much beer and hot wings, but I love that stuff too much to give it up entirely. I just watch my sugar intake mainly, soda was a huge problem for me and after I quit drinking it the weight started to come off even quicker, and I felt a lot better too. The fact that I didn't feel sick or bogged down anymore after I cut my sugar intake, that made a huge difference. Weight problems run in my family, and I'm lucky as far as that goes because mine was not from a medical issue but being lazy and not eating right.
