Soooo, it's been a year and 3 months from the start of this thread. I'm still working out with a trainer 3 days a week. I changed my diet and almost quit drinking alcohol and I have lost right around 36 pounds but have been at a stand still for about 6 to 8 weeks now. I have also put on 1 pound of muscle over all. Did a blood test last week, good cholesterol is higher than the bad but, per the doctor the ratio is between the two is not good, causing inflammation in my blood, which is an indicator for a heart attack and apparently, I have a fatty liver. So now I'm taking a new cholesterol medication. I might as well just go back to drinking every night and eating two or three steaks and a burger every week.....not really. I also took a food allergy test and although I was not allergic to any foods I do have a high intolerance to beef, chicken, chicken eggs and crab. On the crab I'm like 2 points away from being allergic. I pretty much had already cut back on beef but, I have been eating a ton of chicken and eggs. So now, I'm leaning towards a vegetarian diet to see what happens.
