I quit smoking after 20 years on may 1st 2015 and put a lot of weight on after that. I broke down and bought a expensive clothes rack (elliptical) yesterday. I am starting my hopefully new lifestyle at 260 pounds at 6'3". I drink about eight 12oz to 20oz Mountain Dews a day at work, plus my morning coffee with cream right now. My ultimate goal is to drop about 50 pounds and hopefully my knee pain will start to subside. I don't know whats going to work for me but hopefully I can get back into shape and back to really enjoying the hunting seasons instead of being winded all the time.
