How I did it

Hi guys,
Back in August of 2012 I was 250 pounds and so out of shape I couldn't stay on a treadmill. I started a diet and a blog and by Thanksgiving I was under 200 pounds. Two years later and (most of) the weight is still off.
I recently posted a blog update where I spelled out what worked for me and I wanted to share it with all of you. Here's the link:
http://fatmanbegins.blogspot.com/2014/06/busting-diet-myths.html
Hopefully this will help someone out there and maybe give them that one trick or tip that kick starts their diet. Good luck and happy reading!

Thanks for all the kind words guys! Totally agree with Sabine... there are so many different things that work for so many different people you need to keep tinkering until you find that magic trick that works for you.
Also glad to know I have a kindred spirit out there ewhip!
