Feelin like $1,000,000

[Followme2DQ]

Just joined the forum, but this what I have been up to for the past year....So my celebration reward, besides feeling fan fugging tastic, was the purchase of the 2012 RTS! And I went to Dairy Queen all the time!!!:2thumbs: No surgery, just changed to a healthy diet...low fat, whole grains, blah blah blah. Very minimal exercise at first, walking to work, then riding a bike daily, then bought a treadmill, and then joined a gym just before Thanksgiving and what difference that made. . Motivation was easy, waking up everyday being that 1/2 lb or so lighter makes it easy not to cheat.:yes:

170 lbs lost in a year!!! Started at 385.6 the day before Valentine's last year, 215.6 this morning.

Never had a goal weight in mind, but I guess this is it for now! Here are some numbers..

Waist 64 to 38
Shirt 5xl to Large
Shoe, yes shoe 13 to 12
and I need all new hats!!!!​

:clap::thumbup::congrats: I know the feeling! The hard part is to keep it off. I'm working with my wife on going back to where we were before moving to Memphis. But I agree... watch what you eat, and move your body on a good pace to were you feel for it. As the pounds go off, the better you feel and the more you do!

Again, :congrats: and :welcome:

:clap::congrats: Great to see!!! I burn 430 Calories every day on a Arc Trainer and am pretty much a Vegan since I retired 9 years ago..
Whey Protein,vegies, Salads, Tuna , Vitamins and a couple B12 sprays each morning and feel great!!
The Lucky people realize diets Don,t work BUT a Healthy Style of eating that Slowly gets rid of Saturated Fat, Sugar and Salt is the best route to success! IMHO:roflblack:

Congrats on the loss. Have lost 50# in the past year myself so know what an accomplishment you have made. For me it has been about portion control.

That is so true. I eat every 3 hours (5 times a day) about 340 calories.

We have a hard time eating out because of all the salt the automatically put on the food!!!! It just tastes nasty.

:congrats:losing wt. is very hard to do to some people. My son is on raw food diet and eat 5 x a day too. We are what we eat and most overweight people suffer from bad knees, feet and diabetes and high blood pressure which the worst. To all:spyder2: riders lets try to be healthy so we can enjoy our :spyder2:.

You have done really awesome and congratulations! A 'diet' is definitely a four-letter word around this house. We both try to portion control, eat more healthy, and I've recently joined a gym. We also use the Wii and Kinect. I just want to look better on my Spyder!! :dg1:

Very Good! Can't congratulate you enough on your turn-a-round.

But I have one question... Is the cat still happy?
