I have struggled with my weight all of my adult life. It has caused some serious health problems (Sleep Apnea, Hypertension), but it is not as bad as it could be. I have been told by the doctor on several occasions that weight loss was essential for my life to continue. I had some success a couple of years ago doing "biggest loser" at work. I won the competition (lost 70 lbs.) and got a great haul of Joes with the money. This would have continued, but I was misdiagnosed with a mental health disorder, which the medicine to treat said disorder caused increased appetite and weight gain. I have since been tested for this disorder (something the diagnosing physician did not do for some strange reason), and come to find out, I do not have it. Since then, dieting has been near impossible. I am a fast-food-aholic. My wife figured I needed incentive beyond the obvious to go through with it, to act as my job's "Biggest loser" did a while back. She has told me that if I stay on the diet between now and Joecon, I get to go. How awesome is that?
So now I come to you guys, my friends at Hisstank. Some may find it sad, but this is the only social interaction I get. Well, I like it. What I'm going to do is post my results from time to time on this thread. I'm asking you guys to encourage me, and if you can, hold me accountable (not sure how, but go with it!). Thank you all for the chats and jokes a discussion over the last year. The next year could change my life. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. |

Good luck man!
If going to Joe Con is your incentive I dont think you'll be able to fail! When you are getting down just remember what lies ahead for you! The next year will indeed change your life for the better! Good luck, stay strong and Yo Joe!

Just remember not to think of it as a diet, think of it as a change in lifestyle.

Good luck dude. What's your target weight?
Oh yeah, drink lots of water of really cold water, as cold as you can stand it. Your body will burn calories(fat) trying to warm itself back up.
