New GUY on the block
 

Hi all... I'm 35, lost 110 pounds in 2002 and have kept most of it off ever since. I went from 310 down to 200 by walking 5-8 miles every day and counting calories. Since them I've put a few pounds back on, hovering around 222. The other day I was 229 and decided it was time to get serious again. I really want to get back down to 200! :)

I'm working out almost every day (cardio and weights) and counting calories. I have a big chart on the wall in my kitchen where I track calories, workouts and weight. I'm only 4 days into it but I intend to stick with it this time. I know from experience that it's the long term commitment that makes a difference... a little at a time.

Here's a picture of me before and after (the after was when I was about 222). Looking forward to talking with many of you. Thanks for all the support!

Welcome, Kevin! :welcome3: We love having guys here too!

Congratulations on your fabulous weight loss :balloons: and for keeping almost all of it off. You might want to check out the Maintainers Forum (not just for people at goal) - we have a 'sticky' thread called Relapse that might be interesting to you. Many of us have found that maintenance is a lot like a roller coaster - up and down - and we have to work hard every day at keeping it heading in the right direction. :)

You've done it before - you can get there again! :D

:wave: Hi Kevin!
