Feb. of 1994, I was 21 years old, 5'8" (really 5' 7 3/4", but who's counting
)and weighed almost 210lbs. July 1st, 1995 I had lost 55lbs. It took 16 months, but I did it the right way. Here's what worked for me:
1. Gave up fast food COMPLETELY
2. Gave up sodas COMPLETELY (It's the worst sh*t you can ever put in your body. The carbonation absolutely eats away at the calcium in your bones)
3. No meals after 6:00 pm
4. Exercise...both lifting and cardio.
5. Needed the patience of Job, as your body goes through massive changes.
