This is the way.
I started by just eating less. I cut portions and started counting calories. I did the math and started staying under my number, and the pounds just melted off.
A couple months later, I added biking and walking. I'm trying to walk at least 30 minutes daily, which is just a nice break from everything.
I'm down 120 pounds. I want to drop more, but I've been pretty stationary for the past 3 months or so. I'm already a new man, and my doctor says I'm fine where I am. I'd like to drop another 10 just to be solidly below 200 for the first time in decades.
I went to a personal trainer for some ideas on exercises, and I need to fit those workouts into my schedule. I haven't done that yet, but I need to.
Abs are made in the kitchen isn't just a saying.
That's amazing! Well done!
