  DATA!! I feel your pain bro! I am in the same situation...I have turned into a fat-ass. I am 5'10 and weigh 236 ugh I've always have been between 160-175 Now as I inch closer to the big Four'O I realize I am at the point of no return. I have to get in shape to!

  I have used green tea fat burners in the past, and have felt that it helps. Reasearch Green Tea, it's good for a lot of stuff! Incl weight loss. If you have a rapid heart rate or any kind of arythmia be careful sometimes all these stimulants in fat burners can make something like that worse.

  Good Luck! Maybe we should start a support thread, and we can motivate one another.

  No magic pill, however a high level biotin supplement and a good B12 supplement with B complex vitamins may help. Biotin helps break down fat.

  DD, just drop the carbs, specially the refined ones. Physiologically, whenever we eat more carbs than be stored in our muscles and liver, which is about 400 grams in total, it just gets stored as fat! And, if you don't use that by exercising, it stays there but normally, we keep eating carbs every day, at every single meal, plus snacks and dessert, which also tend to be carbs based. Results? Fat gets accummulated on and on and on until one day we wake up and realize, oops... I've got love handles, pot belly, beer belly or anything of the sort.

  Key is to adapt your carb intake to your activity level. You barely do anything physical? You barely need any carbs. Protein you need according to your weight, so it's an easy to calculate amount. The rest, to make up your required calorie intake for a particular day, should be met with good fats. Olive oil, coconut oil, butter and the sort. Believe me, for people over 30, it's the easiest way!

  If you want to REALLY understand how and why our generation gets fatter than previous generations, read Gary Taubes' "Good Calories, Bad Calories" book.

  One thing that I love, I get to have my bacon and eggs breakfast everyday and I'm still keeping fit, without doing any cardio whatsoever.

  Hope this opens a something you can investigate a bit...

  Just my 2 cents,

  DD,

  Great advice here from lots. You've been there before; you can get there again. We have faith in you. Viv's advice is spot on. We didn't evolve on sugars and dense carbs (can you imagine what would have happened if NY style cheesecake was available 100,000 years ago? Its maker would have been deemed god/goddess). We evolved on plants and animals. Keep us posted on your progress. You can be inspiration for others. And if you've done the Navy Seal workout, you can get there again. If there isn't any reason you can't do that workout, then do it. It rules.

  seriously - there is just too much hype and attention on the size of our bodies. a major issue with a lot of us is cortisol levels.... stress not only makes some people eat/drink more than they would sans stressors/anxieties....but it inhibits the metabolic processes. the first step to adjust body size is to make sense of your life, the realities. then, you need to eat a diet most natural - eliminate chemical additives as far as you can realistically do. do not fall for the fat-free gimmicks - your brain needs fat, your nervous system needs fat - but natural, such as olive oil. and your brain also needs carbohydrates to be able to think all day long. i once read that it needs as much as 800 calories daily.

  get as much exercise - natural movement - into your lifestyle. don't look for the closest parking spot. if you can walk there, do it! learn to stretch and keep in motion. interestingly, i recently read an article in the nyt regarding calorie sabotage. if you cut down too much you are just telling your body to slow down. you need to eat when you are hungry and drink when you are dry - but careful of WHAT you are consuming.

  and - nobody in their fifties, sixties, and beyond is going to look like they did in their twenties and thirties. accept aging gracefully (look whose talking - hahah - if you only knew) and hollywood stars have private chefs, private trainers, and rigorous exercise routines, plus makeup artists....plus a lot of them just have the genetic makeup to look good. not all of us are that blessed.

  just be you, and be happy.

  Dr Gio has diagnosed your medical problem.

  Your suffering from a classic case of Flabbergast which means you are appalled by discovering how much weight you've put on. Then you have a bit of Abdicate which is to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.

  I also suffer from both of these.

  My special workout plan? I read and reply to posts each day standing up.

  LOL!!

  I am just going to do what I can. It's a real bitch to learn TTATT and know that you WILL get old. I have good genes, I have just been stressed, and a bit lazy to be honest. There are some bio-mechanical/medical issues that limit me somewhat. Still, it's mostly chronic pussitis. There are people with artificial limbs running marathons. I am just a pussy, plain and simple.

  I just stopped caring and trying for awhile, now i have to play catch-up. I feel like I am showing a real lack of respect for what I have. I have to think of my deluded family as well. The stronger I am, the longer I can work and hopefully retire, or work less in the future. Also, I can help others if I set an example and take care of myself.

  I wouldn't mind dying right now. Maybe I could save Charlize Theron from an accident, and her giving me mouth to mouth could be my last thought.. AHHHH.... that sounds nice... I won't be that lucky. I have had opportunities to die and I am still here. I will get old, so I better straighten up and fly right.
