I would love to eat a diet like that all the time, but being in Oklahoma we don't have access to fresh fish, and I truly love seafood.

This is my story by request. In particular, I hope TheHunterGT reads this.

My story part one:

I have been struggling with weight loss all my life. In high school, I was 210 lbs. No, I wasn't a weight lifter or on the football team. I was fat from eating whatever I wanted.

In my early 20s, I went to 220 lbs range. I was working two jobs, had a few full time girlfriends, and was going to college. At the time, I was drinking heavily and eating fast food.

By the time I reached 28, I ballooned to 248 lbs. The heaviest I have ever been. I continued living how I wanted eating tons of fast food and drinking beer. I was working in a warehouse one day and as I was crossing the scaffolding, I felt really weak. So weak and sick it scared me because I never felt like that before. I went to the doctors and that is when I found out I had Thyroid disease and went on medicine.

During the following year, I worked out and stayed dedicated. I dropped all the way to 190 lbs and felt great. I was at the lowest weight in my adult life...but it didn't last.

Due to a bad break-up I fell into a depression. Slowly I gained the weight back and was at 241 lbs when I lost my new call center job in 2007. That was the time of the recession so I could not find work anywhere so, I started a workout routine. With little money for food(I had 50 dollars a month left over I used that for food) and lots of time to workout, I lost a lot of weight and was holding at 210 lbs.

Finally in mid 2008, I found work, but that also meant I was able to buy fast food again. I watched as I easily gained all my weight back month by month. I was back to 245 lbs and I was more disgusted with myself than ever. I just felt like quitting life altogether and just do nothing.

End of part one.

Folks,

Another trick which might help some of you. Rather than buy tortilla chips which are loaded with salt and fat just buy the soft tortilla wraps and cut them in triangles. Toss them in a bit of olive oil and seasonings of your choice and bake them on a cookie sheet in the oven.
Way less fat, oil and calories than the prepared ones and cheaper also.

Regards + HH

I just saw this thread. It reminded me of the New Years resolution I made...

I'm going to bring donuts and treats to work every day and get the people around me to gain 15 pounds so I'll look skinnier.

 

[JackalopeZL1]

Lol, I always say to myself when a see somebody super fat.. "I like having them around since they make me look skinny" hahaha

Hi Folks, Here is another video with some really good info on Keto Diets. I Like how she right from the start says there is more than one way to eat healthy but explains myths with Keto eating. I still am not doing a Keto but continuing my research. Please watch if you want to potentially learn something.

Start was 213
week 1 was 209

My story part two:

It was 2008 and America was just stumbling out of the recession. I was working, depressed, and eating my way to an early grave. I went to the doctors for my check up, my cholesterol was in the 260's. I couldn't understand it. I stayed away from butter, eggs, fatty cuts of meat and other fatty, high cholesterol rich foods. Instead I ate french fries, pizza, noodles, and lots of bread.

By 2009, I have switched jobs again and working in a truck yard doing security. It was a pretty active job but I was making barely above minimum. My shift was pretty sweet as i was I was out by 3pm with 10 hour days. I was stabilized at around 240 lbs and decided to get in a workout before I went to bed every night.

By 2012, I got a better job with a 20% increase in pay. My weight dropped to 232 lbs. I was pretty happy. When I was younger, I was a real azz to people especially my girlfriends. I decided that I was going to look them up and send each a heart felt apology. Some didn't respond while others just said "thanks". One however, was interested in starting up a relationship again. This was the first time in a long time I actually felt things were falling into place. I was wrong.

Now being 2014. I got in a comfort zone where I didn't want to work out and I gained all my weight back coming in at 242 lbs. My new,(old) girlfriend who was a sneak, broke it off with me after two years saying...wait for it..."we are just two different people". She went with someone else a few months later.

So here I was back in the vicious, ugly, cycle again. Depressed, getting fat, and ready to give up. Again.

End of part two.

Hang in there brother, that is a scary last paragraph.
You can do it!!

Terry, I don't know your physical condition but I think this might help you a little. When you are by yourself, put on some music and DANCE. Get your body moving and get your blood moving. Can't hurt my friend!.....Joe McDonough

[JackalopeZL1]

Yes indeed, when I cut out sugar a couple years ago my blood pressure plummeted, triglycerides plummeted as well as bad cloresteral.. for years I thought it was fat in the diet. No way was it that. Sugar is bad stuff..
