I dropped 56 lbs
When I got married at 21 I weighed about 140 lbs. I could eat whatever I wanted and not gain weight, until I reached my late 30's/early 40's.....then stress and poor eating habits took over and by the time I was 48 I weighed in at 249 lbs. When my wife went on a detox diet I wanted to support her and join her because I love her and, after all, she needed it! She weighed 240 and had Type 2 Diabetes, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and chronic eczema. I was really healthy except for the chronic diarrhea, low back pain, skin rashes and of course the E.D.
At that time I lived on Mountain Dew, chips and salsa, snickers bars, some alcohol and whatever my wife fixed me to eat.
You can see me at my heaviest (I'm the one on the left), on the pier at Huntington Beach in front of a great....greasey-hamburger-and-fries restaurant on the pier!
During the detox diet I discovered I was addicted to bad food. Within months I was down to 193 lbs and have stayed within that weight for over 3 years now.
