Advice from people who fell off the weight-loss train and go

howardrw

I have been on and off of the wagon many, many times in my life.
I once lost a lot of weight that people ask me to write a book on how I did it.
But once again I was off the wagon and gained well over a 100 + lbs. during that time.
Now it took me several years to swell up to that weight. (281 lbs) was what I was at.
Even when I was rushed to the hospital and spent 5 day, I still didn't have the common sense to lose the weight.

So I as you put it "faked it" for a number of years, I kept telling myself that next week I would start losing the weight.
Next week never came until "Now".

I just decided to put a plan together and this time stick with it.
I decided to start on Jan. 1 '10 to slowly start exercising.
I started on a low-carb diet ( this was just to get me started)
I am no longer on that diet, but I do still watch my carbs.
70 + pounds later (loss) I am still working on my plan.

Sorry about the long story, but the advise I can give you is "Start with a Plan " and stick with the plan.
I don't mean to just stick with it when the weight comes off, but stay with the "PLAN" for the rest of your life.
That is what I am doing and that is the advice that I can give you and hope it helps.....
