I weighed 275 when I turned 36. Always been a husky kid. I went to the doctor for my first physical ever and found out my cholesterol was borderline high and my triglycerides were over 700. I started a diet and exercise routine to try to get my numbers down and avoid taking medication.

I quit regularly eating fast/processed food, no butter, sugar, oils other than a little olive oil, no sugar soda, beef, chips, etc. A lot of lean meats, hard boiled eggs, and vegetables.

Bought a bicycle and am riding an average of 20 miles a day whenever possible.

It is a constant struggle but 16 years later I am still down 90 pounds. It is a lifetime commitment not a resolution.

“It is a lifetime commitment not a resolution.”

Amen.

Every single day most people choose how they will die.

In their sleep at 96, or slowly wasting away from 50 to 80yrs, finally unable to wipe their own ass.
