[QUOTE="GlockPride, post: 1995123, member: 12153"] I went through this starting last November, actually still am. Started November 15, 2011 at 5'10" 268 pushing size 40 pants. Quit drinking and that helped. And then in Jan-Mar I worked out and walked until I got to about 238. Then spring hit and I worked when I got home until dark. I started drinking again in August and felt like crap, but didn't want to give it up. So, in September I started walking on the treadmill. Just 8-10 min to start. Occasionally weight lifting in the house. Then in October I kicked it up and started cto5k. I am now going on week 4 over about 5 weeks. I'm not perfect but I'm trying. Tonight I ran 4 min, 6 min and 4 min. I haven done that since hs baseball. I lift a couple times a week with 8-8-8 reps to build muscle. I do an occasional workout crosstrain video workout. I'm running my first 5k on December 1. I'm not super excited and nervous, but I just want to finish safely. Oh, and I'm down to 231 and feeling better. I tried a 5:15am workout for a couple weeks and loved it. A couple things combined to throw me off that schedule, but I'm going back to it. My days are so much better. I don't run or workout everyday. About 4-5 days a week. A couple days of rest are important. And sleep, get a good 8 hours and cut back on carbs. Dedication- the biggest way to lose weight. [/QUOTE]
