Good for you man. I know the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes from it. I have lost 40 pounds, and have gone from a 37" waist to a 31". I have also gone from XL to M shirt, and L to S underwear. It took me a few years, but it's staying off. I had to go on a gluten free, dairy free, low sugar, and just recently vegetarian diet. I hit the gym 2-3 times per week for 1-1.5 hour workout. My advice is to concentrate more on losing inches than pounds. I'm getting thinner, but my weight is consistent because I'm adding muscle which weighs more than fat. There is no doubt that people treat you better, you feel better and you get a lot more looks from girls and guys when you're in better shape. I also love the compliments I get from family, friends and coworkers. It's so worth it. Also, I have way more sex drive now. It's all good!:smile:
Oh

congrats that has to feel awesome, I have vastly reduced my dairy/carb intake but your definitely taking it to a bit more of a extreme then me in terms of the going veggie, would you say that had a big effect?
I've kind of been doing it in phases in my own mind, stage one was just as much fat loss as possible but now attempting a lot more muscle growth/toning up, any good exercise recommendations I could do at home? I have been thinking of buying a decent kettle bell for versatility.
Definitely people do treat you vastly differently between being very heavy and not, theirs also much more natural confidence brought about and don't feel so awkward everywhere.
I have spent quite a few summers in Texas and sadly felt a lot more normal with the people there because up in Canada it's the odd person of that size and they treated me a lot more normally, well no more caring about that.
As I'm sure you didn't count on the, "How's the penis doing since the weight loss?(Questions)"
Not to pressure you or anything but go get a script of VIAGRA, plug in that space heater and let us all know how that bonner of yours is doing because inquiring minds want to know.
I counted on them just should have thought of it years in advance, I have had the question asked a few time's and from friends who know I am big down there, just hard to say between now and then exact things like oh I lost so and so many inches of fat and gained this much etc
I have been thinking of going on vitamin e and l argenine which are good for erectile health from what I understand, I also usually wank once a day so maybe that's part of it although I am sure I could get a Viagra script if it came to that, I was also on various anti depressant's a while back which can have negative erectile effect that could add to my case for an aid.
congrats! you've inspired me to do the same. cheers!
If I can give anyone some inspiration I am happy

I thought weight was a unbreakable prison year's ago but as small stone's which may begin an avalanche momentum is built, especially when you see it starting to pay off.
