5 years and running
« on: January 23, 2012, »
This is quite an achievement for me and this being the porch I thought I would tell you about it. 5 years ago, I weighed 400 lbs. Its been a struggle to do it but I've kept it off.  I was told I had metabolic syndrome and I didn't like that. Pills for the rest of my life for diabetes. I couldn't accept that. Welp, no pills and still holding @ 270. Not too bad. So anyway. Its not about christmas lights but I celebrate anyway.

Thanks. ;D  Its always good to hear support while doing this kinda stuff.  At 46, I workout about 20-30 minutes a day 4-5 days a week and look at my pics of yester-year and Know that I dont wanna look like that any more. I Bench 310 Lbs and thats quite awesome for me. I ride my recumbent bike and DONT EAT AFTER 8 unless Its not made of blubber.  <pop.. I hate pop corn...lol

Great Job!

Now I need to do better, maybe less time on the computer and at the bench and more time doing other things would help.

Congrats. I really need to loose some myself. Around 90-100 lbs would be ideal.
