shadowmanlocal

HI Guys I'm new here but just to share I've lost 144 pounds since July 2014 through lifestyle change lo cal lo carb diet 1800 cals daily intake and 2800 output ( Enhanced by jogging and swimming ) most days . I was considering bariatric but was warned off it through some very bad experiences of people I knew had it plus elevated risk from general anaesthetic at high weight . I started at 192 kg !! and am now just over 125 kg and counting . When I started I couldn't walk 20 paces without being out of breath and back seizing up . Airline travel airports etc nightmare finding a seat in a restaurant etc etc . Now I'm jogging 5 miles nearly every day 10 miles on Sundays and have never felt better since my 30's . I'm 61 in July by the way . I also cut out alcohol completely and do not smoke . Using the right food predominantly fruit veg and salads and everything else in pre measured microwave plus I weigh anything I really need to watch portion of I've discovered it is possible to change ones life around completely and I'm seldom hungry. The main aspects are motivation , exercise , healthy food intake and above all patience as its a marathon not a sprint and has taken me almost 2 years to get where I am now and I'm not going back !!! Hope this helps - If I can advise re diet or exercise specifics etc feel free to ask would be delighted to support the effort !!!!! Best of luck -it can be done !!!! even though my doctors told me I couldn't do it naturally Ive proved it is possible with the right approach . !!!
