    Step 1. Eat constantly, switching between sweet and savory snacks.*

    Step 2. For the height adjustment, jump down an elevator shaft without bending your knees upon landing.

    *Perform Step 1 prior to Step 2 for best results, or you might have to jump twice.

    Not any more.

    ca. 1978 I weighed 296 (lbs, that is)
    in 2012 I reached 157, and stayed there until about 18 months ago.
    Currently 167. Not bad... but 157's better :|

    No secret. Responsible eating (I used Weight Watchers to help -- the main value being accountability... I learned to "track" what I eat) and the love of a good woman.

    I hate most forms of exercise, and I loathe exercise for its own sake. I do like to walk and to bike ride. We do our gardening by hand and that's pretty good exercise, too.

    Avoid fad diets, IMO. From my perspective (as a biochemist, albeit not a nutritionist) virtually all of them are carefully constructed malnutrition. One will lose weight, but it's neither healthy nor sustainable.

    Perhaps not surprisingly, I don't have many photos of Corpulent Marky. Here's one from 1980, at which point I was down around 250, if memory serves.

    EDIT: I'm not obese, maybe a little overweight 5'-10" and 210 lbs. That calculates 30.1 BMI, over 30 they say is obese. I don't think I'll ever reach the desired 128-173lb. range suggested. I would feel real good at about 180-185.

    well before I blew out my knee in the oilfield I was at 190 at 5’ 10” after my knee replacement back in 2012 I’m up to 265 not good. Thing is can’t run or do the thing’s I use to. I did tear my PCL in my right leg never got that fixed and as you would guess it’s giving me problems with swelling and fluid on the knee. But I did get down to 223 last year just by watching what I was eating. No Dairy products no fried foods no chips. Ate a lot of chicken, Fruits salads and fish it worked gotta do it again now Doctor is on my a s s now to lose weight.

    If I didn't spend an hour a day 6 days a week doing cardio on my stairmaster I'd probably become "morbidly obese" during my annual winter layoff.

    Got ya all beat. 5'8 250. Most of my life i was around 190 lbs but only 13% body fat. I was into weight lifting. 4 hernias, 2 rotator cuff, bicep, labrum surgeries and RRMS, stopped doing 3 hour workouts while eating the same + age, it came on fast.

    This year i am changing it up a bit and stop eating like i need all that protein. I was at 275 but down to 250. I figure 80-90 to go.

    Six two, 124lbs, lost 30 lbs due to health issues. Haven't been able to gain weight in a year, just can't catch a break.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.
