It has been a while since I was on the hide, and I am super glad to see this fitness section.
In brief, in the last year and a half, I gone from a miserable 250 pounds (5 foot 9 inches) down to 198 pounds. The Wife and I (she has lost 25 pounds and now a size 4 from a 10) absolutely let ourselves go.
Being office workers now, lunches were almost always at a restaurant, and then we would come home and eat a bunch of BS.
I am not at my target of 175, but damn close.
Here is what I have sacrificed... Nothing. I still eat out, just in moderation. I still have sodas, just not 3 a day. We now work out moderately about 5 days a week. Lunches at work are now 30 minutes at the park running about 3 miles. Then a quick hour at the gym doing a bunch of lite stuff. Nothing major.
I did not gain the weight overnight, and did not lose it overnight. Starving yourself and working out like a freak to lose 20 pounds only burns you out.
I'll try to get a picture of Mr. Blimpy and what he looks like now. I may not be The Biggest Loser, but shit, my knees don't hurt me know either.
