which hockey player?

Hey man,

I was at the exact same starting point as you (5' 8", 200+ pounds, age 26).

For the last 2.5 months or so my brother (who is also overweight, same height, 2 years younger, weighs 10 less pounds) and I have been trying to change things - our portion sizes were way too big, and we are doing cardio regularly (we use an arc trainer machine - we can both burn 500 calories in 30 mins of exercise).

You mentioned that you got down 35 pounds in your first month, without changing your diet (other than cutting out pop - i cant live without diet soda, its the only thing I feel not guilty about rewarding myself with)? How, lol?

We've been working at this and are down maaybe 15 pounds each in total...we've cut almost as much as we can, but it still seems to be a struggle to get things down, especially now that it seems we have plateaued.

Any advice for us? Your lucky you body allowed you to come down 35 pounds in a month...
