Lance. Thanks for your positive comments to me and all others. Here are a couple of things that worked for me. I cut out soft drinks, period. Don't like diet, so I went cold turkey. I replaced sugar with Splenda for my coffee. I started jumping on my son's trampline. Great, low impact exercise. Now I can feel my abs!!! I lost 25 pouds and have kept it off for 2 years. I eat what I want, but never after 8:30 PM.Good luck on your goals. The little guy is really growing up.Max
Good Luck on becoming a firefighter man. As for the diet what I have discovered about myself is that if I want to lose weight change the diet. For me it's turkey sandwiches and not the crappy oscer meyer stuff get the real roasted turky from teh deli. I know it costs more , but it makes it so much easier to stick with it. no mayo I just use mustard spicy brown and regular. use the salad in a bag as filler for your sandwiches also I put sheese on them cause I realy like cheese once again stay away from teh velvita processed stuff only buy the real cheese. I bounce between the deli and the regular stuff that you can buy in any grocery store. Also reward yourself on the weekends you can have literaly whatever you want on the weekends but stick out the lean diet during the week. Also try and eat at least 3 times a day not a whole lot of food just enough to keep you from being hungery. I try and eat around 4 times a day.I hope this helps you out man I know this is what works for me when I am trying to drop a few pounds.
