222 pounds

As a rule of thumb, weight loss is generally 75 percent diet and 25 percent exercise. I might walk 5+ miles a day but I need to work on cardio and weight resistance training. I have friends that work out like monsters but drink like little fish on the weekend. No different then when I do well 5 days a week and had "Ben and Jerry" weekends. The picture below is my screensaver on my phone. I made it to remind myself of the OMAD (One Meal A Day) approach i'm striving for. Really isn't that had, most days.

back on the horse, again. Electronic Cigarettes instead of smoking.

Not related, but it is. Here are some links to my favorite Electronic Cigarette web sites. I've been a smoker since I was 14 and I was up to 2 packs a day for the time I was driving over the road. I had been around a pack to 1 1/2 packs daily. Now I'm a E-cig user. I have lungs, again.      Part of the life style changes goes beyond weight and exercise and nutrition. It entails all forms of health and self improvement. Like your financial life you can cut your budget (if you have one), and increase your income. I'm not going to candy coat it. I'm and am up about 20 pounds since Thanksgiving. I had a elbow injury that was bugging me and now I can workout, again.     Here are some links to my favorite forum and some of the web sites I've used. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ http://altsmoke.com http://www.azsmokefree.com/home VaporRenue offers an interesting Cigarette like tasting product. Ya gotta let it steep when you first get it, but it's good an...

Been awhile 216 pounds, Ready to start going lower, again.

Did I mention this is a lifelong battle? Had a great past few months. Starting with Thanksgiving, Christmas, a Florida vacation and living life. Wife had a back surgery and I was off work on FMLA for several weeks. I'm 216 pounds. I've been maintaining at around 220's. I was up to 230 for a very short while (water gain) after the vacation week.         I've been on 2mad for awhile. Eating my primary meal at noon and something when I get home around 10:30pm. I'm trying to keep my 2nd eating time just a snack or nothing but OMAD is a bit of a struggle and I'm all about doing things I can do to keep my weight off. Maintenance is just as important as losing weight. But now I'm ready for another push.      To get from maintenance to under 200. 196 is my next goal. That will be 100 pounds since January of 2018. I'm in an xl shirt and a 40 waisted pant. My fat % is 31.5. Still considered OBESE till I am 29.9%. I'm excited that even in the last few months...

"I want to loose fat" has to become "I NEED to loose fat!".

It takes a life changing event to get most of us on track. I just got this bug up my butt that I needed to loose weight when I thought I broke my bathroom scale and then again when my blood pressure was boarder line going to keep me from getting my medical card renewed to drive my tractor trailer.  Over the last 2 1/2 years my need has turned into a N E E D!!!  I like it, how I feel, how I'm begging to look. I want to explore this unknown frontier and see what God really meant me to look like.      I have so many family and friends, some I love very much, that WANT to lose fat, but they aren't to the NEED stage. My aunt wants to loose those last 15 pounds, but wants to have ice cream every day and not just a 1/2 cup. " That was not enough, so I got some more."  My work buddy when I explained what I eat in an average day "that doesn't sound like fun."    Honestly, at times, it's not. But "nothing tastes as good as being thin feels." I have...
