I spent two years losing over  140 pounds  the old fashioned way: proper diet and exercise. No fads. No pills. No surgery. No crazy machines. I was 30 years old and 340 pounds. With a history of heart disease and obesity in my family, I decided it was time to shed the pounds. Almost every day I get people I haven't seen in years coming up to me saying "Wow! You look great!" and then the next question... "What have you been doing?" That's why I wrote this article.

Need I say more? More or less, the reason why you're being pessimistic in the first place is because you lack the drive and motivation to lose that extra weight. If you lack the inspiration to get off that couch by your own will, then losing weight will most definitely seem like an insurmountable obstacle for you. Lest you change your outlook in life and actually start wanting to shed off those pounds, losing weight will never be easy. When you get motivated or inspir...
