    Did you walk the weight off entirely? Or did you pick up jogging? I am at 220 right now and have walked my weight off from 328. I am trying to get to 185. What other kind of exercise did you do?

    Honestly, I couldn't do much more than walk at the beginning. Inclined treadmill... 2.8 measly mph at a 3° incline! As the weight came off the speed and incline increased to 3.5/10°. Eventually I took up running and ran my first 5k in a bit over 40 minutes. I was able to get into the 24's shortly after I reached my minimum weight (which is a respectable time for an old dude) but running wasn't something I enjoyed very much. I eventually got into cycling and still do that to this day. Currently, hiking is my thing. Should also mention that over the past 6 months I also do weight training once per week. All that said... I'm NOT a fitness freak (can I say that hehe). Honestly... I don't think it matters what type of physical activity you perform... as long as you try to be as active as possible.

    Best wishes losing the last few... they're the hardest to lose but you can do it... just stay true to yourself and don't be satisfied until you reach your goal! Cheers brother!

    How do you add photos when creating a discussion? Oh and sorry if this is random I wanted to find someone who added a picture already.

    Incredible. You look so handsome and healthy. I'm on my 23498723947 attempt at losing the 20 or so pounds I have, and reading this is so helpful. It really is THAT simple-- absolute dedication and absolute tracking.
