I probably have the energy of a 65 year old. Lol But for real, I need to get in better shape eventually. All those ladders and stairs aren't fun.

Me too, about 6 or so years ago I lost a good 85 pounds. I have pcos, it's a hormonal issue that can cause alot of weight gain. Well, when my life gets on track eventually, I will do it again.

Cokes are the problem with most people and weight gain. People drink it like water, I know do and have. When I lost all that weight, I only drank water and skim milk.

lol my diet was awesome but a bit expensive.
first 20 pounds dropped in the first month. my diet was simple. monster rehabs, steak, cheese, and greek yogurt. basically high protein low carb diet.
the next month I mixed it up, ate chicken pork and steak, cut back on the cheese, put in salad, fruit, and drank more water and less monster and lost about 10 pounds.
the next month I dropped the monster entirely, cut the cheese out entirely, ate nothing but chicken meat wise, still ate the greek yogurt, fruit salad and such. lost another 10 pounds.
I was spending about 400 a month on food alone. plus propane because all the meat I ate was grilled. I went broke fast lol

Yeah, diets are high and was working a low paying job at the time. I basically just healthier things, I would bake chicken, center cut pork chop,etc. Portioned everything. Fruit, salad, vegetables, low fat- no sugar added yogurt,and water. Beans and all that, anything that stays away from processed carbs. I ate maple and brown sugar oatmeal for breakfast everyday.
Mainly, exercise. I had a rowing machine. I could only afford a cheaper one and it had broke. When I ready again, I will buy a more expensive, sturdy model. Rowing is the second best full body exercise next to swimming i believe.
I just bought a little toaster oven and baked my meat whenever I was about ready to eat it. I think I had an indoor grill too.

What was your job in the army? You shouldn't be falling apart at such a young age.
