Jorge,
Hang in there, bro. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Cue is a way of life, whether you're cueing a salmon or a fatty. I need to veer towards the leaner cuts because of my diet. I'll just let the fruit juice and mops do the job of keeping things wet. My MD let me know that basically, if I didn't loose weight now, I could expect to live no more than up to age 62-65. That's when all of my male relatives from my mother's side drop off from massive heart attacks. I seem to have those guys's stats. Back in Feb I weighed in at 302lbs. Now I'm down to 257lbs. I'm only 5'8", so my target weight is 160 to 170 - got me a long way to go! But my cholesterol is now the lowest of my brothers. It used to be the highest.
Assuming that your dad's MD is o.k. with it, the walking is a great idea, IMHO. New Balance is right! Great walking shoes. Get in there with him, whether you need it or not. Having my family in my diet with me has made the change in lifestyle not only possible, but relatively easy. I'm surpirsed of the talks that my wife and I wind up having while we walk.
If you can, give us a progress report. We're rooting for your dad!
