2 months before my wedding I lost 25 pounds. It is possable to lose weight, you just have to be willing to give up some of the foods you like.

How did I do it?

I started by not eating breakfast. This is stupid yes, but my lunch break at work came about 3 hours after I got there, so I wasn't really hungry until then anyways.

Then for lunch (around noon, my first meal of the day) instead of eating a burger, I would get a 6 inch sub from Subway. I usally got their "special of the day" which also saved a little money.

Then for dinner which was around 6 or 7 I would eat either another sub from subway, or something else along those lines.

My diet was mostly low cal, which is bad based on the amount of running I did every nigh, but it worked, good.

Everynight before bed, I would run about 4 miles. I did this in about 45 minutes, so there was a good pace for me, and my weight.

I went from 215, to 190 at the time of the wedding (about 4 weeks ago). I am back up to about 195 right now, and plan to lose another 10 pounds right now, my target is about 180-185.

You can do anything you set your mind to, you just have to do it.
