Hi,
Have you ever reached a point where you feel like its now or never? Thats where I'm at. Tired of clothes not fitting right, or being the biggest guy in the room... And I'm not talking about height 😄.
42 yrs old... Its no longer about wanting Not to lose weight, I have to.
I'm sure in not the only one.

    I reached that point many times unfortunately. It was actually when I started with a whimper instead of a bang that got the job (mostly) done. Frustration often led me to go at weight loss hard like I was doing battle. When I stopped focusing on weight loss and just focused on a process of eating the right number of calories the pounds just started falling off. I needed patience which is something I didn't use in the past and I needed to be kinder to myself.

    I was always the largest guy in the room and sometimes by a considerable sum. In public I was a "double take" guy. This means that when some people saw me in passing they had to look again to make sure they were seeing what they thought they were seeing.

    Just find your easiest path forward so you can adhere most of the time. Perfection is not needed. If something doesn't feel right don't quit for any reason. Just adjust.

    I understand completely. I've definitely hit that point, especially with gaining enough weight on my small frame to cause problems like symptoms of Sleep Apnea. Waking up gasping is terrifying and the best solution is to lose weight. Diabetes is always on the backburner with it being in my family so trying to be more prudent and healthier like I was before. but it's not easy. Hopefully with some motivated friends we can all push through it. Feel free to add me!
