Quad Cities (Iowa) dad with a LOT to lose

Hey there! I stepped on the scale April 15th of this year and realized I had REALLY let my eating and laziness get out of control. Years of business travel, poor diet, zero exercise, and over indulgence in wine had taken their toll. Bottom line, I was up over 85 lbs.

I started watching my eating, then about two weeks in got serious and bought a Microsoft Band (don't they are buggy as hell) and logging everything here on MFP. I'm down 41 pounds as of today. I'm running 5+ miles a day, and I plan to run a 1/2 marathon in the fall. Hopefully I'll be MUCH lighter, because the thought of carrying all this weight that far is too much to fathom!
