It's been a long time, but I'm still waging the diet/lifestyle war!
I was in Branson, MO for my anniversary and had an emergency gall bladder surgery (not via scope, full incision) and it's been a good recovery.
I don't even remember where I was, but I can tell you this...I'm down to slightly less than a 40" waist, and I'm working out 5 days a week and the thinnest and in the best shape of the last 20 years of my life.
I got down to 245, but since working out I've been putting on muscle. I'm back up to 255, but visibly much thinner, more toned, and the fat keeps coming off!
I eat far less, have kept to the ultra low carb diet, and have gone to very lean beef, but mostly turkey, chicken, and fish.
This new lifestyle gave me the shortest recovery from surgery ever (I've had a total of 7 abdominal surgeries and 3 back surgeries) and now even my back is in much better shape after just a few months ago hardly being able to walk!
Thank you Doug and all the rest for your support.
