“Can’t get through the “allow ads on Fox News” which I’m not willing to do, but how did the guy lose the weight? How long did it take?”

Common sense. Stop being a glutton and get out and exercise.

I was a chubby kid then teen...then dropped most in the Corps, but after, at 6 ft tall, shot to 240 plus or minus lbs in my 40's before I found my (yeah, just my, I know) Holy Grail...Eat breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince, and dinner like a Pauper. At almost 63 years of age now I have spent the last two decades at 170ish with no effort, and eat what I want for a meal. If I get hungry at night, I can grab a snack, like a piece of chocolate, but I let the one piece satisfy me. 10 minutes ago I did a drive-by at the pantry and grabbed a fist full of crunchy granola, threw it back and walked away satisfied.

Okay...the other dirty magic bullet for me was when I stopped drinking beer, which was a huge deal in the 80's and 90s - beer was involved in every activity with others - golf, boating, fishing, weekend gathering at a friends, nights at the local watering hole with the guys. Then I switched to bourbon and, still to this day, enjoy a glass or two when the day is over.

Back when I did stop drinking beer, the weight actually came off fast and I had loose skin in areas - but the body adjusted over the next few years. The body is actually an amazing, miraculous, God-given machine if we give it the chance!
