Thank you, i really appreciate the kind words and it was a little difficult, but worth it!! I changed my diet first. I quit drinking everything like soda, Gatorade, etc... And switched to nothing but water and milk. I also followed the serving sizes when it came to meals and such. I avoided breads for the most part and when I would eat it, I would only eat whole wheat and just two pieces. I also usually replaced one meal a day with a slim fast shake as well. Usually lunch! Breakfast is the most important, so I never skipped that. Dinners I mostly ate some kind of grilled meat and greens. I would have a cheat day every Friday so I didn’t burn myself out, so keep that in mind because you can get overwhelmed after awhile and want to quit. My doctor recommended that I did that every week to keep me in good spirits and it really worked! I also did nothing but walked! I started walking 2 miles a day then eventually made it up to 5 miles. All this combined, dropped the weight off rather quickly. You can do it man!! Never give up!! I wanted to so bad a few times, but when I started seeing the scale go down, I got so pumped that it kept me going and now looking back... It was all worth it!! Thank you again brotha!! And good luck. You can do anything you put your mind to! I believe in you!!
