Project X - Lose Weight!

[BrianG]

Ugg. I'm such a hog. I'm 5' 10.5". Started out at ~310 about 2 years ago . Went down to ~225 , but have been steadily increasing and now am about 260 .

I kinda carry my weight everywhere (not just in the gut or whatever) so I look fairly "even", but still substantially overweight. Muscle mass is pretty good so that helps, but not nearly enough. Being over 35 years old doesn't make things any easier (slower metabolism).

Of course, the good diet/excercise thing works, but just sucks. Not so much the exercise, but the eating part. I have too much of a sweet tooth! I don't eat breakfast (I know that's bad) because it makes me feel nauseous. I usually eat something like a 6" Subway sub (and those damn cookies) along with diet coke. I know soda is bad, but at least it's diet. Suppers and late night snacks is what gets me. My g/f is an awesome cook ( and at the same time) and I go to bed so late (~2AM) that I usually get a hankering for something sweet (I know that's really bad). Dieting sure does work, but I can't find a plan that doesn't make me feel like I'm missing out.
