Losing weight!

Back at the first of this year, I got on the scale and it read 296 pounds! I thought to myself, "No way! I can't go on like this!" I've never been over 300, and I certainly didn't want to do it now. So, I asked my Mom to recommend some pills to help me lose weight. She gave me a bottle of Leptopril, and it worked. I lost 20 pounds in a hurry. When they ran out, I bought Relacore, because it was $20 cheaper. They didn't work at all! I didn't gain any weight back, but I didn't lose any more either. So, over the weekend, I bought another bottle of Leptopril and started back eating less and trying to lose weight again. People are always telling me, "but you're so tall (6'4"), it doesn't look that bad on you." Maybe so, but I don't like the gut. Mom's such a good cook. LOL Right now, I'm about 280 with hopefully, some more weight coming off. I'd like to get down to the 260-270 range and try to stay there. If I can get back on day shift at work, I plan to start walking with Mom because she's trying to lose weight, too. I need to drink not as many Cokes and start exercising, I know that would help. So, we'll see how it works out.

I have found that the toughest thing to is lose weight. I'm 6'2" and weigh around 290-300. Like both of you, I'm trying to lose! We should work on this together, for mutual support.
