Congrats Man! So glad to hear it.

As for results, if you're concerned about the scale, don't be discouraged. For the first 5 weeks I didn't lose more than about 3 or 4 pounds, but my clothes started to fit better. But around Week 6, the weight started falling off in chunks. I started in mid-May at 194 lbs. I weighed in yesterday at 168. And I am definitely eating!

Every week I hit a goal that didn't involve a scale though. First handstand push-up. First unbroken Pull-up set in a WOD. PR, after PR, after PR. Keep focused on what you are getting accomplished and not what you aren't. Just get better everyday.

Keep us posted!

How often do you do crossfit?

Nothing set in stone. Did three classes last week. Might do two this week because of the holiday.

@Morgaen73

From May to July 3 days a week, now...

I take 4 classes a week, and do two open gyms on weekends, where I work on two lifts/gymnastic movements each day followed by a 30ish minute EMOM.

Here's an example of last Saturdays Open Gym:

3-3-3-3-3 Overhead Squat
4 Sets Max Ring Dips

EMOM 28:
1- 2x Bear Complex @115
2- 1 Rope Climb
3- 25 Double Unders
4- 5 L Pull-ups

To be fair, this is not my first foray into Crossfit. I was a member from for two years until Dec of 2012, but I came up with a bunch of excuses and stopped going.

@MilesAddie that is awesome.

Started my second week. Coming from a pure lifting background (where I considered cardio the Devil's work lol) this is a real challenge for me but I'm loving it. I'm still settling in but from next week I'll be doing 2 crossfit basics session, one lifting basics session (at the box), 3 weights session (at the gym) and 1 functional training session with my personal trainer.

Hopefully that will kick my bodies *kitten* into changing lol I'm still on the basics program at the box so I haven't really set goals.

You are back though so awesome
