I know what you mean mate, I hit almost 270lbs in January of 09. Lost about 50lbs of that until now, to start with I hadn't a clue what I was doing but I know now I'm just lacking the motivation at the moment. I'd go with CC's advice, it's what I did eventually. Eat anywhere between 5 and 8 times a day being careful to calculate your intake, and keep cardio consistent and frequent if you need to loose a lot, advice I should listen to myself really. Be good to hear your answer to Rob's question. It's not really difficult it's just consistency and staying motivated. It's what you want out of it, life can get in the way from time to time but try and stay on track it'll be worth it. As for diet pills, as the guys have said none really do as they state but I find when you're doing cardio they help with extra energy and thats all, you can do the same with an ECA stack. Anyways I wish you luck, anybody else reading have any motivational tips for us both I'd like to hear 'em.
