Far from it I am. probably will never be but I have made a turn around.
My weight got out of hand, I was up to 292 lbs. No energy, hurting in the joints, chest pains. I had to do something. So, I drive tucks for a living. While my truck is being loaded I used to check out things on here or go on FB or read a book on kindle. Well I started just walking around the truck while it is being loaded or unloaded. On a good day, if the app is recording correctly. Total walking will be a six mile day. I have also at home started doing some light weight workout. No need to train for Mr. Olympia. Just want to get to a good healthy weight.
To help out on my goal. I started to eat as clean as possible. I got off the sugary snack cakes. Can't tell you was the last time I ate a potato chip. Been eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and nuts and granola. Got away from fried foods, not completely though. I like my fried chicken and a greasy cheese burger every now and then. I save treats like that for my cheat day. I only drink one soft drink a day, drinking lots of water and iced tea.
I weigh myself on Sundays so even though I could go on the scale and come and type it in I am not. As of last Sunday I was down to 273 lbs. I am on a 2600 calories a day diet. I have yet to exceed that limit. The closes I have come to it was like 400 calories. I have cut my alcohol consumption down a good bit. That was something that was getting out of hand. I guess with my current situation marriage wise. A lot was causing me to be depressed, therefore the need to consume to not give a rats ass. Feeling good now, hope I can stick with it. Especially when your licensed roommate wants to lose weight, but refuses to make the lifestyle change. That is another issue for another time.
I am 6'4" and my goal is to get to 250 lbs. I really want to get rid of this stressed induced dicky do (any suggestions on how to accomplish that). I feel like I am on a good steady track. I started on September 14th.

. So yeah, sacrifices like you have made along with the increased cardio will go a long way. It also seems to be easier to take off weight in the hot summer months and I always gain in the winter months. But overall, nice start, stay strong and try to smile everyday. It is easy to get in a shitty mood, it takes effort to be happy sometimes.
