Post Hi folks!

new guy here.

I started dieting and walking in January of 2002. At the time I weighed around 300 lbs. Now I weigh about 230 lbs. And yesterday I went and bought some weight lifting equipment. (flat bench, curl bar w/ weights, dumbbell)

If I can do it anyone can do it. I look forward to reading all of your posts on this board. :-)

Nope I didn't take any diet pills. I would walk on the bike trail down the road from me about 30-50 minutes almost every day. All I did was cut out the junk food and drink alot of water.

When i started my new job back in July I weighed around 245. I got off my rountine for a few months. I drank regular pop, got drunk often lol, ate more, etc.

I still walked on the treadmill frequently so I didn't gain any weight back. I've been having problems with my stomach lately (acid reflux) so I can't eat certain foods so I decided after Christmas to try to lose more weight.

I've lost around 12 pounds since then. I walk on the treadmill every night and now I'm starting to try and tone myself up a bit by doing some lifting.

My waist has gone from a size 46 to a 38 and my blood pressure has gone WAY down.

I hope to get down well into the 220's or lower if possible. :-)
