This morning I weighed in at 198. This is the first time in 3 years I have weighed less than 200 lbs. When I met my wife I weighed 145lbs. We went on lots of dates eating lots of good, but really bad for you, food. I VERY quickly shot up to about 185 or 190 and then proceeded on and didn't stop until I reached 260 lbs. I felt miserable, and my blood pressure was always high. One day I pulled into Krystal to order my usual sack full with cheese and a chili cheese fry. Something told me not to. That day I decided to change what I eat and most importantly how much of it I'm eating. Today, I am back into size 36 or 38 pants and a can wear a "Large" shirt and in some cases even a "Medium" My goal is to get back to about 155 or 160. I hope to be there by the time I go on my yearly vacation in September. Maybe this time when I go out to the pool everyone else want run away. Ha

    Congrats brother! I was in the same boat. When I left the Army in 2007 I got lazy and fat and blew up to 250lbs.
