Let's just get right to the point. About 3 1/2 years ago I met my beautiful wife. At that time I weighed about 215 lbs. At 6'4", 215 lbs was a perfect weight for me. Some people even said I was almost too slim. When my wife and I got married I weighed in at 230 lbs. About a year later when my amazing little angle was born I weighed about 245 lbs. In my mind I never thought I would weigh any more then this. I tried about a dozen different diets to lose weight. They all worked (loosing about 10 or 15 lbs), but I would gain the weight back right when I stopped the diet. 19 months after my daughter was born I now weigh 266.5 lbs. This is the most I have ever weighed.
I'm finally ready to get my diet started. I plan on following the paleo diet.
Here is a link to my blog. I have photos of me throughout all my weights.
Welcome and best of luck. I started at the same weight as you are at now approx(1/2 lb difference), but my problem is you are much taller than me! But all I would say is, you know whats involved and needed from previous diets, so find one that suits, commit to it and best of luck!
