Just seeing this thread. Last July got a new primary care doc, and apparently previous to her, all my doc and I did in appointments was shoot the shit about F1. He never seemed worried about my numbers other than BP ( am on BP meds). Well new doc lights me up about just about everything. Gives me three months before she starts prescribing half the pharmacy to try and make some changes. I was at 260 lbs (5'11") at that July appointment. Just hit 215 for the first time since Junior year of college. All my numbers in the green, and we have cut my BP meds in half. Trying to get down to right at 200, then we will go from there. This is 100% from walking (7-10 miles a day) a very drastic diet change (huge reduction in calories). Tried running a few times, but growing up in a small town, and being forced to run CC for four years means I'll literally do anything else than run. Have not started lifting again, but I think I'll start that after I get closer to 200. The whole new wardrobe thing was really eye opening. Did a purge, and I only have about 14 shirts, both dress and T's that fit.
