update..Bascicaly Ive maintained the weight Im at and Ive lost 50lbs....Had the change in weather here which messed me up and I really stretched my back muscles out which really put a damper on things...I have changed the way I eat which is mainly a paleo diet..No sugar or anything that turns to sugar mainly....Nothing really white ...Basicaly whole foods,allot of vegtables any type of meat,leaner the better,fruits and nuts to snack on...still drink cofee no sugar now but use small flavor packs like vanilla or hazelnut in small quantities....still drink booze too...probably 2much
My aches are now gone and Ive gone back to working out 3 times a week with better form as to not strain my back...Ive maintained this weight and have not gained any for the past 2 months even with a trip vegas ..So my next goal is to lose maybe the last 20lbs that will really suck in my lower gut..and make the love handles non existent...now that im actualy comfortable I think this will be very hard to do especialy with winter around the corner......not sure if im ready to start yet....I was really hoping by now my wife would join me but she has others things happening now..and this is a very stressfull time for us at the moment..so Im just hanging in there one day at a time for now...
goodluck and I hope this inspires someone else to keep at it....just get in a focused routine till you achieve your goals...then maintain and be aware..
