Weight loss tips... When thinking about that dessert or extra helping, looking at something to motivate you not to eat that "thing" helps. Plus being fat just doesn't look good and can offend others...
Food is fuel, not entertainment...

I am having success it is a slow road but it is getting there. I started the journey at 420 and am now down 30 lbs so far. What has kept me going is the job and my friends and family. I was a young thought I knew it all kid and didn't have to pay attention to anything because there was nothing to worry about. Went down south to join an FD that I have wanted to join for years now and got a huge reality check. Now I knew I had been fat but never thought it would ever interfere with me doing the job. Since then I have been eating a lot better and I got hooked up at the local gym by a trainer with a set calorie diet and a circuit workout that gets the heart beat raised slows it down and then throws it right back up again. Which in this line of work is a very good thing.
I have another 80 lbs to go before I am going to start applying to the fire departments again and hopefully this time be able to go back to that FD and ride with them and keep up with them.
Stay safe and good luck to everyone on this journey
