"9/28/15. i lost 10 pounds the first week, after 7 weeks 21 pounds total. (320 to 299). my problem really hasn&#039;t been eating too much, it has always been lack of energy and exercise.  i have more energy and have picked up the pace. i take the stairs instead of the elevator at work. small things, but it&#039;s been successful so far. i don&#039;t crave food any more.  i really have to make myself eat. 
12/23/15 - update. down to 288 (32 pounds in 12 weeks). 1 to 2 pounds each week now.  when i drink protein shakes for breakfast i lose more that week. the protein is vital. eating low-carb and high protein seems to work best for me."
