The start

So I decided to start this blog to give some ideas of how a person can lose excessive weight.  I started this diet back in mid-July.  I weighed about 195 pounds give or take a pound.  I was planning to attend a wedding in mid-August and my wife wanted me to wear my dress blues.  So, I decided that I needed to drop a few pounds to try and look a little better in my uniform.

A guy I work with, Micah, lost over 100 pounds with a very strict diet and basically living in the gym.  I wasn't able to put that much effort into this, due to my wonderful family at home.  He gave me a shopping list (that will be in the next post).  I took his suggestions of meals and ran down the shopping list and came up with some pretty awesome meals.

After the first two weeks I lost about 8 pounds, then I didn't really keep track but around the two month mark I had lost around 15 pounds then at 3 months I had lost 20 pounds.  Now, after 3 and half months, I have lost about 25 pounds, I weigh about 170 pounds give or take.  I have also lost 3 inches from my waist.  I am in better shape, feel better about myself, and all of my clothes are too big.
