Are you sure you don't mean "waist"? I can't imagine you were so fat your legs got shorter.

15 months ago, I did all of the above. I can count the number of times I've had pop since then on my fingers. I ate less mass of food, got on the treadmill, and did the "fat burning zone" cardio. In six months, I lost 10 pounds.

Then, I did some research, learned that advice like the above is too simplistic, made some changes, and have lost more than 60 pounds in the 9 months since then.

While I don't drink pop anymore, I eat waaaaay more junk food now than I did in the first six months, but I'm still consistently losing far more weight.
