Starting Again with MY Doctor's Help

I went to my doctor to get help with my weight loss almost four weeks ago.

My starting weight was 509 lbs.

People are always surprised when they find out how much I weigh.  They expect a man over 400 lbs to be bed ridden or riding around in one of those chairs.

They say "No way you do weigh that much.  You move to well."  Next question " Did you play football?". " Man, if I was your size I'd be in the NFL."

Back to my weight loss.

My doctor has instructed me to change my diet to be a "seafood vegetarian".  Start off the day with a bowl of oatmeal.  No pasta, no bread for 30 days.  Eat chicken rarely.  Replace sugar with a natural sweetner.  Eat red meat very rarely.  Eat seafood for most of my dinner meals.

Without increasing my activity level, I have done very well with the changes.
