Heart, blood work, bp, everything like that are great but I know carrying around extra weight isn’t good on my body.
Start by cutting out sugary snacks, soda, beer, pizza, pasta, rice, etc. Also drink LOTS and LOTS of water.
I bet that would help kickstart a drop in weight for you.
I think I'm going to give this a try. I definitely need to lose about 50 lbs. Cutting out beer will be the hardest part. With the warmer weather it will be easier to cook for myself on the grill rather than ordering out.
i thought cutting out beer would be tough but it really hasn't been difficult. after abstaining i noticed how bloated and pudgy beer made me...now i don't really even consider it. i mean, i'll have one if i'm out or someone is sharing it but buying a 6 pack is less appealing for me now. beer is so bad. vodka all the way.
Non-expert opinion - beer is definitely bad for weight from #s calories carbs perspective. Though the hard [expletive] is harder to control as far as drunk level and the poor eating decisions that can go along.
Tangent:
I dont drink much hard stuff and wine anymore. Because I didnt like how it made me feel. Diff kind of buzz. Makes you mean.
Back to weight/fitness - when doing it right with willpower etc, I consider 1 or 2 beers my snack/dessert instead of eating something.

thats certainly true. with beer, i always want a salty snack and it's so easy to go nuts (no pun intended) on those kind of things.
After ballooning to 325 at my largest, I can happily report that I weighed in under 200 for the first time this week. I’m 90 lbs. lighter since January ‘17.
