Going through the same thing at 59. 225, knee pain, etc. My wife dropped 50 lbs. in 10 months. I started a month ago to try to get back to my fighting weight of 190. It aint easy, and the food manufacturers and processors don't make it easy. So true about the GMO corn, Pascamp. Avoid any hybrid corn. Congrats Gdaddy. What you did takes determination. So many things play a role in it, getting married, working long hours and eating out, just grabbing whatever is available when hungry, etc. You have to do this religiously and avoid the urge to eat after dinner. For me the deadly hours are between 7 -11 pm. Don't hit the snacks, guzzle the milk, eat the cookies, etc.
