I lose and gain about 15/20 lbs a year. Just keep gaining a few more than I lose. To keep a long story short, I have a fatty liver and and when my weight goes down, it gets better. When I gain, it's worse. I have been pre diabetic for years and back in Oct they told me I was diabetic. My highest weight was around 225. I'm 5' 9". My BMI says I am Obese (33 ish) My mom is a diabetic and I have seen all she has been through. They wanted to start me on oral meds and I said no. I will lose weight. That was the end of Oct. I did good until Thanksgiving, then travel for work 4 straight weeks, then Christmas then a wedding and son graduating from boot camp. Always an excuse I no. I am at 209 right now and have actually worked out 3 days in a row. Eating is the hard one. I love to eat and travel a lot for work so that makes it tough too. I have a good treadmill and some various dumbbells and a straight bar. I was doing good with my working out this fall and I have hurt both of my elbows making it impossible to do a pull up or curl much weight.
I was on MFP for a few years (dcarr67) but it got a lot more social for me than fitness and last summer I deleted my account. I decided the other day I need some accountability so here I am. Thats the short version....lol
