Thanks, man.
I haven't gone as "hard core" with my exercise as I did the diet. I dropped 30 pounds or more before I did any real exercise.
I haven't done a huge running regimen or anything like that. I have done little things like parking further away on purpose and taking the stairs more. I take my dog to the park a couple of times a week.
About two months into my weight loss, I started taking Karate (American Kenpo). I have been taking that for about 8 months now. That is a pretty good workout, especially when you spar.
Other than that I have been doing push ups and ab work. I keep saying that I want to step up my weight work so people like Volmania will still not want to mess with me

, but my schedule is pretty darned full right now. A few weeks ago, I bought a pair of "perfect pushups". I have really liked those and I can tell a difference from using them.
I was always a big guy since I was a kid, too. I had a couple of periods in college when I was in OK shape due to insane weight and running routines, but I was never able to maintain due to very poor eating habits. I only regret that I waited this long to do something about it.
