I read this and started crying. You are (were) my husband. He’s 31 and very near 400 pounds. I’m terrified that he is going to leave me by dying. He works a high stress technological job where he is on a computer 14 hours a day. He eats crap. (His bad luck for marring a crunchy granola hippie.) He does not exercise. Since we’ve been married, his clothes have gone up a size. There’s so much more that I see that concerns me.

I just wish he would make himself a priority for once.

Eating out and eating healthy do not go hand in hand, it’s quite a challenge. I have been cooking at home way more than I used to using as many raw, unprocessed ingredients as possible.

I remember going to UNO’s and eating an order of pizza skins, (2,050 calories and 48 grams of saturated fat!!) and then an entire pizza by myself.

I started small by switching from regular soda to diet. then I started cutting out the really bad junk food. now “junk food” is rice cakes. now I need to start working out. moving incrementally for me is working because it’s a change in lifestyle, not a “diet” If you can do it, so can I.

Wow…The Scariest part of this post is that this is me; well add 50 pounds (topping the Scale @ 402) and I am the same guy. My friends and I would go to are local food chain Hangout and I would order a pitcher of pop or ice tea for myself as I felt that the waiters couldn’t refill it enough. Then just two or three Apps, as they were half price. Every one of my friends would get a kick out of it and it was a normal Friday / Saturday night for us, every week.
This Blog has really opened my eyes; I tried to change at the beginning of the year and failed. But seeing that it is possible to lose weight but someone like me, I’ve put my foot down. I’m starting a new day, So to speak. Thank you for helping me realize what needs to be done and keep up the good work.

Thanks for the blog. I am on my own weight loss journey. Starting at 290 I am now down to 260 in 2 months. I started using EA sports active, having recently completed the 30 day challenge along with some bowflex 2-3x a week. I am now moving to power 90. I like the challenge goals (30/60/90 days) and have been including healthy lifestyle activities (geocaching, kayaking). I been using your playlist for my workouts *THANKS!*. I also have been keeping around 1800-2000 cal a day eating healthier but not all health food. Keep up the good work and see you at 200.
