Hello from Canada

Hello, I'm John, I'm looking forward to learning a few pointers from the forum. I've been overweight pretty much my whole life and have always been on some sort of fad diet. The last 10 years or so I said to myself "that’s it" I just don’t care anymore and if I am buried in a piano box, so be it. But now I've changed my mind and realize that I have to change my life style not just my eating style. My wife is very supportive and always wants to help. I've been walking on a elliptical machine for about 6 months and just watching portion sizes and it seems to be working for me.

Good! Sounds like you've got your solid foothold! Good luck

Fad diets never work, diets period never work...
