Pox, I'm working hard to lose some weight also. I topped out at 6'2" and 295lbs. Not healthy at all . 10 days ago I went from 5-8 cokes a day to coffee and water only. I have dropped to 288 during this period. Next week ill start dropping my calorie intake. My sons leaving for college Saturday , so we are going to quit cooking at night and eat cereal only after lunch .
