It's not hard for me to lose weight if I make an effort. I cut back my portions and soda intake last year and dropped 10 pounds in less than a month. It's just a matter of me making myself do it again. I'm only 190 and at 6'2" that's not unhealthy, but ideally I'd like to be around 175-180.

That's my problem. Work is stressful. You can pry my alcohol from my cold dead fingers.

YUM!!! Medium rare steak, baked potato and green beans. I know you didn't mention the potato, but I had to throw that in there.

I've never had an issue with my cholesterol and that's surprising when you consider how I eat. I'll never let myself get unhealthy and fat, but I'll be damned if I'm going to punish myself by taking away pizza and foods I love. Life is too short so I might as well find what I love and enjoy it while I can. (in moderation that is)
I'm suprised too. Must have good genes! I eat pretty healthy and I like it. But I do have at least one cheat meal a week be it fajitas or pizza. Cheat meals are acutally good for you, shock your system and keep your body from storing fat believing that its starving.

You can always do better, that goes for everyone.

Yeah it is easy but remember your body still needs carbs, they give you energy to a point. Just be sure to eat them early in the day, no later than lunch.

Can't go wrong with steak.

I'm also 6'2", with a large frame. I think I look the best around 215, but I'd be happy with 225. I'm 235 now, down from 250 a few months ago. I kinda bulked up after I met my GF. All that damn happy eating!
