http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/36/subjects/2070 <p>Jeff here..male, 51 in March, 6'4'' and as late as Dec 12 weighed in at 260. Alogn with that came a cholesterol reading of 247, BP of 140/105 and blood sugar @ 125. All this and the fact that three years ago had 4 stents in planted in 2 different arteries. Walking disaster area.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In December I decided I was tired.. tired of being tired, tired of thinking about when I was fit (and I was), tired of being fat. So I decided to change..did the Math diet and begain working out, hard.</p> <p>Math diet is easy...burn more claories than you take in. Limit intake to 1500 and hope to burn 4000 a day. With a net deficit of 2500 per day, mathematically you lose 2 bls every 3 days.</p> <p>And it worked..I can do it and each you reading this can. The temptations are hard, no doubt. But it can be done...just gotta want to do it.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Today went to the doc and tipped the scales at 241 with bp 2 105/70. Now meds have helped the bp but Doc is now downgrading as weight loss coupled with the meds gave better than expected results.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, if anyone thinks they can't do it...you won't. If you think&nbsp;you can..you will.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck to all of you over 50's...its tough but it can be done.</p> en-us <p>there was some bad news I got while at the docs....told me in needed to schedule a colonostophy based on age....</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Heck of a time to give up drinking. :)</p> Jeff51 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 16:46:37 -0500 http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/36/subjects/2070 5170
