So far, so good
It's been almost three months since I started my journey. The whole thing started after my father in law had a heart attack, then by-pass surgery, and then a stroke. I watched that and decided I didn't want to put my wife through all of that if I had a choice. My father in law came out of the whole thing shockingly well,…

Getting started (Again)
Well, like many of you I've lost and gained weight many times over the years. It wasn't until 3 weeks ago that things finally got real. I watched my father in law go through quadruple bypass surgery, and then have a stroke. I knew then that I never wanted to put my kids and wife through that. I'm glad to say that my father…

just starting
I'm a 42 year old male who had a rather startling realization about my weight this summer. I got on the scale and saw that I was 278lbs. This is the heaviest I had ever been and I realized it was time to do something. I began to do research and decided not to go with a "program" but instead cut my calories, eat healthy…
