I try to cut down on the soda, beer, snacks, Agree nothing after 8 PM except water

. IMO want to loose weight drink water and cut the bread out, and of course be more active even if it only walking at fast pace couple miles day. For me I'm about 18 to 25 pounds from my ultimate high school senior weight (5' 11" 168). I think The bread does me in

. I can loose about 7 lbs. then hit the wall

. Now I got to do some real work to get the other 10 to 20 off. I need to weigh around 165 to 175 to be quick enough and have the stigma to serve and volley at the 4.5 level tennis or beyond. Just hard for me still working.

But in few short weeks I won't have that crutch to lean on

Wonder what my excuse will be then
As far as weight easier to get off than put on? I'll have to disagree with that one IMO it's twice as hard to get off cause you have to change your life style and stick to it or it will just return plus more. IMO you also just can't quit eating cause without being active you loose muscle and IMO that's worse cause now your weak and over weight. which the cycle returns. For me at least I had manual labor job that kept me strong and minimum weight gain. I don't see how people still working loose any weight setting around in office environment being inactive and over weight. Cycle just too hard to break IMO. For the village people I can see were pickleball (played at high level would be prefect activity to loose or maintain ones weight. where Golf

does little IMO of course unless your pulling or caring your bag and doing 18 or more holes.
