Down from my top weight of 305 to 235, myself. I've also put on 20 lbs of muscle.

I'm gunning for 205, with an additional 10 lbs of muscle.

Wow, that is impressive. How long did it take for you to lose that much, if you do not mind by asking?

I started on a Protein Sparing Modified Fast on October 3 and have lost 69 pounds so far. I am about half way to where I want to be.

I doubt that I have gained any muscle. I have probably lost some.

So far the only exercise I have done is walking about three miles at a time, twice a day, once at lunch and once after dinner. That takes me about two hours total.

I am too out of shape to do much more than just walk, so I am just trying to shape up enough so that I can join a health club later so that I can do a full body workout. Maybe at that stage I will put on a little muscle.

I am also thinking buying some poles and doing Nordic Walking, but I think I may feel a little foolish walking around my block using ski poles. Still, I think they would give me a little bit of an upper body workout and also take some strain off my knees while walking. What the heck, I probably already look foolish hiking around the neighborhood, so in for a penny, in for a pound.
