I already started eight months ago...I've lost nearly 100 pounds last year...have been trail walking almost everyday like a mad man. (many of my hikes start super early in the morning, 5-6 am, before mom's caregiver shows up)..done up to 12 mile hikes. These hikes are not wimpy leveled roads...these are trails with lots of up hills...done four hour walks non stop...my legs are now like the Six Million Dollar Man, all steel, lol.
The problem, since I was so fat (nearing the 400 pound mark, dayum, I really let myself go)...is that I neglected my upper body...I just walk and walk...so my upper body is like jello, flabby, and some skin has loosened.
So, my new New Year's Resolution is to start lifting weights...concentrate on my upper body.
I'm currently building a home gym, started buying equipment...some new, some through Craigslist.
The gym will be located at my backyard deck.
Once completed, will show pictures.
I was feeling horrible before my life change, depressed as heck, especially more with mom's health...but physically was feeling like crap...being fat sucks...for obese people who say being fat is cool, they are lying to themselves, no super heavy person feels great...being fat sucks (at least for me)...not only do you feel disgusting and feel like crap (speaking for myself, not judging others), but you are rapidly on your way to an early grave. I would sweat constantly, would run outta breath really fast, my heartbeat would race, my lower back would hurt, my knees, my sleep apnea would worsened (I don't use a CPAP machine anymore), and was having a hard time fitting in both my single cab truck and Mustang, big no-no's for me.
I eat no more than 1500 calories a day, and don't eat after 6pm. I drastically cut my beer intake a well...Although I did have two light beers yesterday for New Year's celebration, lol.
Anyway, I'm slowly starting to feel good about myself again.
I'm still fat of course, but being 285 pounds is better than hovering near the 400 pound mark.
Not gonna show pictures until I hit 250 pounds, lol. Planning on hitting that on my birthday, April 26th.
Happy Holidays!

P.S. BTW, for Oakland Mini Mego Meet reference, I was 356 pounds then (I'm 6' 2").
My new cholesterol values:
My fasting Glucose level is 88.
