Was: A FAT BASTARD Am: A FAT BASTARD! I need some inspiration to lose some weight and get in a little bit of shape, and this thread is working. Glad to hear mostly good news in it and hope to have something to add one of these days.

Best of luck to all who are doing something to get healthier via dieting and exercising. It is a tough battle but one that must be fought and won to allow us to live not just longer but more active lives. I let myself go and got up to 298 lbs so over the last 27 months I have through walking and a low carb regime lost 79 lbs. I realize that a low carb diet (Atkins anyone?) is not well though of by many but if you choose lean cuts, minimize the consumption of eggs and use olive oil the outcome can be very rewarding. I do have another 55 lbs to go (or so I wish) but time will tell. Small steps and keeping short term goals to allow success has been a good driving force in my efforts and that of many others. Wish you all the best.
