No surgery, No trainers or nutritionists....just hard work, a lot of help from the people on these forums, and of course support from my friends and family. I started out just by making small incremental changes...and built on those along the way. If you had told me before I started this is how I would eat at this point I would have said screw it and never started, but I would have been so wrong! I like eating for fuel....I like feeling better, I like learning what I have learned and knowing what I now know. I can still eat whatever i want, I choose not to...of course there are those moments where that piece of pizza looks sooo good....then have it. Don't fret over it....just don't do it all the time and you'll be fine. Thanks for everyone's advice, this site is amazing as are all the people on it.
For those starting out....do it slow...take the time to learn.....and don't do anything drastically...it's far less likely to last. Take things slower and make them a routine....a habit...and you'll see and feel the results.
Peace, and luck to all!

I'd still like to lean out a bit....I've largely avoided loose skin issues, but still have a bit of 'sway ' in the belly area I'd like to take care of as well as I can. Other than that just staying healthy and continuing to work out...not so much to build more muscle but to maintain what I've got.....maybe work my glutes more lol.3

You look amazing! How long of a journey wa this for you? I am 34 years old and weight 255. I work out 5-6 times a week. I usually do 2.5 mikes in the treadmill waking and then a mile on the elliptical. I'm also trying to add some weights. It's hard when I've been this big for so long. I'm also a smoker and trying to quit so I can lead a healthier lifestyle. Your story truly is inspiring and if you have any advice for me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and well done!
