100 pound loss with pictures

Posts: 62
This will not be too wordy since I am not at my goal weight. I promised myself that I would post pictures once I hit the 100 pound loss mark, so here we go. I followed the directions to post pictures as best as I could, so if it doesn't work, well, it doesn't work.:frown:
Here are my vital stats;
AGE 50
Height: 6'5"
SW: 384 (I actually weighed more in the pictures marked March 2011, but I did not have access to a scale that could weigh me). My starting weight is from a doctor's visit on January 11th, 2012.
CW: 284
GW: 210 (I will decide if this is a good number when I get near this. I am more interested in looking good and fit than the actual number on the scale).
Here is my first update picture after losing some weight.
Finally, here is a picture that I took today (4/35/13).

You know, I just took the attitude that I wanted to not just diet, but completely address how I eat for the rest of my life. I basically and significantly increased the amount of veggies and fruit I eat during a day. I still eat meat, but it is lean and not nearly as much as I used to. I have a cheat meal whenver I have cravings, but I only have a cheat meal once a week (or two weeks). The cheat meal keeps me from "missing" my favorite foods. I have addressed the amount of sodium I take in. I am frequently over the recommended amount, but not by much and certainly not near as much as I used to have. I also reduced the amount of fat I consume.
My diet was the result of a consult with a dietician through my doctor. We sat down and hammered out what a typical day would look like. What I found is that I now eat 5 or 6 times a day (three meals and two or three snacks (usually fruit) during the day. I also drink water, coffee, and tea and stay away from soda whether diet or otherwise. I also have stopped drinking alcohol as much as I used to. I do have it, but only on special occasions (every day is not a special occasion! :bigsmile: ). I have found that the biggest contributor to my inability to lose weight and my incredible abiltiy to gain weight was almost exclusively related to drinking alcohol. So, controlling that part REALLY helped.
The other part of my life change is exercise. I exercise every day and take a rest day whenever I need it or my schedule is too busy. I used to not take the time to take care of me and I have made myself a priority for the first time in decades. I have set ridiculous goals that actually motivate me to enjoy working out. One of those bucket list goals is to complete a marathon within the official time limit of 6 hours. I also want to get down to a weight where I can go sky diving. I have learned that it is important to get below 250 pounds to sky dive so that you do not destroy the parachute when it pops open....that would be a bad thing! :sad: :noway:0
