My Diet History

I have always been a large guy (Okay, fat).

All during elementary, junior and high school, I have been the focus of jokes, sneers and looks. It wasn't pretty.

In 1998, I went into the U.S. Army and after I graduated from Basic, I lost a total of 40 lbs. From 200 to 160. I was amazed and thrilled. I was so skinny, my mother didn't recognize me when we met. LOL.

While in the Army, I did gain weight, but only to 180 or so. But in 1996, when I got out of the Army for good, my weight went up drastically.

In 2004, I was up 230 lbs. Yuck.

Thats when I found out that my father is diabetic. That scared me for I have been borderline diabetic before.

So I got on the diet he had to be on and I lost all that weight I gained over the eight years.

But I have a history of being on the rollercoaster.

As of today, I am 220 lbs. Not good.

So, I am getting back on a diet and I am taking a diet supplement called Calotren. I have been on it for only 1 week, so I haven't seen any results yet. They say it takes up to 90 days to see the results, so I will wait.

Take a look at the Success stories. This was the major reason why I went ahead and bought this. Usually, I pessimistic about such weight loss pills. Been there, done that kind of thing.

So...that's where I am on the diet thing. Please pray that I can lose the weight. I just need to lose 35 lbs. My health is probably in the balance with this, since my family has heart problems, and weight problems as well.
