I was 5'9" and 240 lbs. in December of 2004. My wife was pregnant with #3, just got a new house so I decided to increase my life insurance. The physical didn't go well. The insurance doctor kept commenting on my weight and my BP (around 150/100) I went to see my Family Doc who wanted to put me on BP medication right away. I decided that was it. I started reading Men's Health and joined the MH Belly Off Forum. Did ABS diet, then HGM and have worked my way up and down to 193.5 lbs this am.
My biggest problem without a doubt is eating enough. I have plateued over and over at 192 to 193. I know my problem is not eating enough. I'm now working on eating at least 2500-2800 cal a day. As much as I've heard it I still have trouble believing it. Sometimes when you get stuck EAT MORE!
