WMR , I like your story, this is the way it is, push back on the food. I am and have been big guy, played a lot of football , and was a steel worker for 35 years, nothing I couldn't bend or lift. I weighed 308 when I had both knees replaced year in a half ago. I lost 46 pounds after and was rock hard again, then came these last holidays and I have put back on 20# and have started today to get it off and I know by May I will be in the 250 range, it is all in your head, just got to get pissed and do it, I will be 66 in two months, can't be fat and old,,, Ha
