[QUOTE="Skibbys bottom, post: 154103, member: 4039"] What I have found out over the last 3 years is patience. I was over 215 pounds when I retired. Wanted to do something about it. I decided to go on the atkins diet. Yes, the Atkins diet. I cut out a lot of things I truly enjoyed and basically willed myself to eat healthier. I stayed on this diet for over 3 years in phase one and became obsessed with it. I did loose the weight I wanted to, my goal was 180 but beat that by another 5 pounds. Once I got over not eating bread, potatoes, or anything starch I dropped the weight. I could eat as much meat and eggs, or any other protein that there was. I am still on this diet although when I took a cruse to alaska last september I kinda went off it. I now weigh about 180 to 190 depending but once the winter doldrums get over will get my butt back to being busy and get to my goal of 180 again. For those of you who want to loose weight but eat well go on this diet, I will tell you that in the beginning it's rough, no sugar, starches etc... Yes that means you have to give up drinking beer too argggggg. But if you truly want to drop the weight I would suggest either the Atkins, or the Paleo diet, or mediterranean as well. It is all in your minds, I am 61 and have a very good resting heart rate, and blood pressure. I come from a family that has is potentially high diabetes prone. Needless to say that I am not even close to that as well. I feel fortunate to be relatively healthy and am no where near throwing in the towel. I love to hunt and fish too much these days. Enjoy, I hope that this helps someone. Perseverance goes a looonnnng way:;:stirthepot [/QUOTE]
