Last April I weighted 275. Today it's 250 and slowly dropping. 225 is my next goal. Diet: 220 grams max of carbohydrates per day, 72 grams of fat, 3-4 oz meat portions. That means reading labels, occasionally weighing or measuring but mostly common sense.
Exercise: 5 days a week on the treadmill for 2.5 to 3 miles and low weight machines twice a week. It's keyed to weight loss now. Muscle building can come later.
