Just kidding. This just does not happen. Sorry. It took months to put on the extra pounds and it will take months to take it off and keep it off. And then you will have to make a major lifestyle commitment to work on the areas that got you into the overweight mess to begin with.
This is not easy. It was not for me. I had a few advantages in that I had the support of my family, my church and my community. Even my employer allowed me to do workouts during my breaks. I also had healthy and safe opportunities to exercise around the home. I did not have to go to a gym.
My wife and kids were willing to make healthy food choices along with me. I found
some simple methods of exercise that didn't require much money. I was also
motivated to join the navy soon after the attacks on America of September 11,
2001. We all need to have a motivation, a reason to push ourselves off the couch
and get outside.
The facts: around September of 2001, I was overweight and out of shape. But I recently completed treatment for sleep apnea and was able to start a diet and exercise regimen. This is my story of what I did to successfully lose about 75 pounds of fat, gain about 25 pounds of muscle, go from size 50 to size 38 (I'm 6 feet tall) in a years' time.
