Looking to get rid of 25 pounds...FOREVER

Looking for likeminded and motivational folks to help me and maybe along the way I can in turn help you on my quest for chiseling away excess fat and finding a leaner and healthier me inside.

Hi all. I'm nothing special... just another 50-something year old man. I’m wanting to become a better man, inside and out.
I'm 5'8" as of this morning I weigh 222.8 (sorry, digit scale lol). I've had to buy size 38" pants for the last two years or so, I have never done that before. My goal is to get to 200, ideally 195 AND maintain 195. I want to get back to where I can wear a good 36" pants.

    keep at it, I was in the same boat as yourself, 5'8 and around 220lbs, changed my eating habits and counted the calories via MFP, exercised and counted my steps via FitBit and am now weight wise, just out of obese :) hopefully forever

    the only problem is that I need to buy new jeans as the old ones do not fit
