re: OT workout and fitness guys and gals

Good for you. In May of 2015 I saw a picture of myself and was disgusted at what I had done. I am similar to you, I'm 6'2 and weighed in at 220 at my heaviest. Starting in May, I radically changed the way I ate and by November of 2015 I was in the 180's. I didn't work out a single day during this period, just 100% changed the way I ate.

Make sure you stay consistent on the eating part. Don't deviate from your healthy food until you get to a point that you're happy. Even today, I still eat 80% healthy but I also get to indulge from time to time on pizza, red meat, girl scout cookies, etc....

Good luck. And if you don't go to the gym one day because you don't feel like it, it's ok. Just make sure to continue eating foods that are healthy and the weight will fall off.
