Wow, it is amazing that you did nothing and it came down so drastically.

I’m thinking of it this way. I’ve been wanting to get in shape especially losing my beer gut for years. Now I have an extra incentive. I was at 200 lbs in Mid December. I’m at 186.8 today. If I can get down to 180, losing 10% of my body weight, I’m thinking I should be fine. Also I think I need to maintain the changes in my diet with occasional cheating when I get down to 180. Unfortunately two of my favorite foods are pizza and Chinese.

My doctor talked about putting me on medications. No way!
Losing weight is great but sometimes medications work to keep us healthier. Especially blood pressure medication and statins.
