Thanks fellas!
I'll keep you guys posted intermittently. I'm definitely going to have to start mixing in some gym action again.
So far I've really just been doing this mostly with diet and trying to make sure I get 10 to 12 thousand steps a day despite having an office type job.

If I eat anymore salmon I might grow gills. Need to start mixing in some chicken. Been craving a hamburger and fries so bad but have resisted.
Weight loss has stopped for all intents and purposes now just holding steady at 214. Thats 23 lbs down in 2.5 months. Not bad, but really need to get stricter with the chow and get in more exercise somehow because I have 14 lbs to go and losing a pound per month like I did the last 4 weeks is not the rate of progress I want to see.
If I get my stuff in gear I think I can get to goal by 5/15. Thats 1.75lbs per week. That will be tough but I think I can do it.
Been thinking about mixing in some sort of supplement to help. Like Hydroxy cut or something. Read the reviews and lots of people said it helped them. I have taken those in the past and they make me jittery so I stopped taking them. Maybe I could get used to them.

The answer here is simple. You've got to start working out. Pick a gym that's right along your way to work or buy a piece of cardio equipment to put in your house.
I'm up everyday around 4:45 am. 30 minutes of cardio followed by 15 minutes of strength training. I listen to podcasts which helps motivate me. Check out Joe Rogan, a good one to start with is his inteview with David Goggins. Follow Jocko Willink on Facebook or Instagram. He gets up at 4:30 am 365 days a year to work out. Every morning he posts a picture of his watch when he gets up. For whatever reason that motivates me.

212 this AM. Have not been doing much exercise but I am going to start like today. I still get 10-15k steps a day so I focus on walking but thats not intense enough.
Down 25 lbs in 3 month. Where I am now about ideal for my height but I really want to get to 200. I kind of have abs at 200 and thats hot!
Really weight lose has slowed way down...Only about a pound a week or less even the last month or so... gonna have to hit the gym!

Thx butch.
I'm not going to lie it's not been easy. I've had to make major changes to how I eat. My original goal was to lower my blood pressure and my cholesterol and I've achieved that. Now I really want to get these last 12 pounds off and get to my goal weight

Your body has a set point. That point in which it 'knows' what weight it needs to be functioning optimally. Plateau is natural; 1#/week is your body telling you "Great Work - we are close." This is not rocket science but it IS physiological science. Keep on keepin' on.

210 today!
Moving right along. I have discovered that tuna steak, salmon and tofu with veggies and hot sauce make great dinners.
And salads for lunch. That's the key. No fried foods, no simple carbs, very limited red meat. Like 2x a month I have been having a portion of lean red meat otherwise pretty much fish and tofu. Some chicken but I honestly prefer fish. I am sure my mercury is through the roof but its cool I don't plan on becoming pregnant.
Thanks for the motivation fellas. Its nice seeing others hitting their goals and improving their health. And swimsuit season is just around the corner!
If I can do it, you can do it too! If youre reading this thinking "No way I could lose 27lbs in 3 months" Trust me you can! Its not easy but it can be done!
Hopefully next update I am 205. That would put me only 5 lbs from goal... 200lbs and down almost 40 overall.

I think the deal with red meat is it takes 2 days to digest.
Good job, keep up the awesome work!
You spread the desire of healthy living to one person, that person then inspires another. Next thing you know the pyramid grows to the entire population! (We can hope!)
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

Awesome update Dan. If you have access to venison, buffalo, or similar 'red meat' those are very lean and digest more easily.

Had my 3 months follow up with my Doctor yesterday. She gave me a high five!
She was very impressed. Down 30lbs in three months, cut my cholesterol 120 points, blood sugar is normal again and my BP is very good! Now I am on BP meds but she suggested to decrease my dosage as with my weight down I may not need that much medication anymore and perhaps can get off it all together at some point.
So we are testing that out see how that goes.
I am at 207 now and am targeting 200. Almost there. Heck when I get to 200 I might look to get down to 190. At that weight I am slim and sleek...like a sexy car ha ha.
Oh one bummer, I have to buy new clothes, the GF said they look way too baggy now and my pants will fall off without a belt.
NICE!

Buying new clothes with the money you save on meds is an awesome trade out! Congrats on the continued success!
