I weighed in today at 201 pounds for my official weigh-in when I first woke up. I have now lost 204 pounds so I am now half the man that I used to be having lost 50% of my body weight. I weighed 405 pounds on 2/17/2012. I feel great! I also stepped on the scale again after my morning workout. My weight was 199.6 pounds! This is the first time I am been under 200 pounds since I was 18. I'm 39 years old, 6-0 in height. It has taken me a little over 18 months. I have focused on diet and exercise. I now try to exercise at least two hours a day six days a week. For exercise, I do mostly walking, swimming, and weight training. For diet, I try to eat 5-6 times a day with smaller meals and eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. I try to also focus on portion control. It's been a complete lifestyle change for me. I still have some fitness goals to reach but I feel great. At the pool where I go swimming, I had a guy in the locker room ask me how much I had lost. I also had a guy on the street where I go walking stop me and tell me how great I look. It's been hard work but I feel so much better about myself.
