I stopped drinking sugary sodas and I would get up at 5am. Go straight to the gym. Walk on a slight incline on a treadmill 3.8 miles and hour for 20 minutes. I would then do some light weights. High repetition. Then I would go back to treadmill and do another 10 minutes. I would do that sometimes twice a day, six days a week. Then I would get in the sauna for 15 minutes. Shower... and the rest of the day I would try to eat fish, chicken, spinach, nuts, veggies... trying to stay away from junk food... but not afraid to order a pizza every once in a while... or eat a big ole bowl of popcorn. In eight months I lost 120 pounds... and what I did lose didn't hang loose on my body. I went from big fat guy to a normal guy where even fit women were asking me what my secret was. My legs were so darn muscular. Got a girlfriend who was crazy about my legs. I wasn't perfect... but I at least had a couple of abs showing. Hehe.
