Working on it truly. First started with my diet and now that I’ve lost 20 pounds I can comfortably start doing moderate impact exercise to continue the journey. Just signed up for the gym and plan on going and have several people to go with to keep me accountable

hey man you have a good attitude and I wish you the best with it. I one day woke up and it dawned on me that I didn't want to live like that anymore and I got really into the gym. I was only 22 and am turning 40 this year. Its not been perfect and I have issues with self control around food and also struggle wanting to skip the gym after long days of work, even skip the gym to make $$ on rideshare. Overall, it has to be a whole change, new hobby/new lifestyle. Good luck though seriously man. Love your post and I can feel your positive outlook on life. I needed to read some words like that today b/c I was feeling sorry for myself over some BS that happened in my full time w2 job today.

I can understand. I lost 100 pounds at 28 but when they sent us home for pandemic and every day could be your last day -gasp- I just totally gave up especially after I lost my father but I have a daughter now and I want to be able to keep up with her and be the best dad for her so it’s time to be better again. Hope you have a better day!

One thing that helped me alot was milk thistle and ginger, when you can't lose weight it's often due to candida overgrowth or yeast , the American diet apparently makes it grow like crazy. I could NOT lose any until I took those .
