I am 48 and at my biggest I was 440 lbs. I was half-heartedly trying to lose weight and lost 10 lbs. in a month then in June I had a mild heart attack. Let me tell you that is some motivation. It is enough to make you rethink things. Even though I have always been big I was pretty active until the last few years when the extra weight caught up with me. I decided to change my lifestyle. A diet is temporary! I am eating well but I try not to eat out and measure and record everything. I have a Fitbit one and use Endomondo when I walk. Data is king for me. The more data I have the less cheating I can do. Don’t get me wrong I have little will power but if I can see what I am doing and not lie to myself I can adjust. So After cardiac rehab I started walking. I am now doing 40 to 60 min walking a day and want to do more. It’s getting to the point where I want to walk whenever I can. Well I am down to 367 Lbs and 6 month into my two year plan. If I can help anyone please let me know.
