Thumbs up

I have been on a decent diet for a couple of years now, and I have really cut out the sodas the last few months and gone to water or tea. However my problem boils down to excercise and I know it. I am at a desk for 8 hours a day. Behind the wheel another 2-2.5 hours, and when I get home I am usually wiped out already.

Yes I know loosing to much to fast can be very dangerous. One of the problems that caused my wife and I to have to go on the omega diet in the first place is that we discovered I was allergic to soy. Try looking at your labels in your pantry sometimes and you will get an idea of what all you can't eat if you have a soy allergy. I never cared much for sweets, and have not been a heavy eater since I was a teenager. Alot of what did it besides the lack of excercise was the sodas. While working on computers and servers I got to where I always had an open soda with me. I figure in a given day I was drinking around 15 cans, and maybe 8 20oz bottles of soda a day, not counting the glasses of soda at lunch at the resturant, etc. I predominantly try to drink water now, although sometimes I do backslide to a root beer/coke/mountain dew. Thankfully I am loosing the taste for them though.

Anyway I will keep the suggestions in mind and keep you guys up to date. I HAVE to do this, I don't have any choice anymore.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
