Hello, my name is Norman. Spring of 2018 my wife & I started a new eating lifestyle. Very little to no processed foods, lean meats and lots of vegetables and fruit.
Did well when we started in May but in October we celebrated our 25th anniversary, then the holidays we both fell of the new lifestyle. At the start I was 220 lbs at 5ft 5in. by the time we restarted this lifestyle in June I was back to 209 lbs. In May 2019 my VA doctor issued me a Garmin vivo 3 which I have been using, then in June I found this app that connects to the Garmin.
As of this morning I am back down to 196.

So nice that your wife is joining you on your journey, my husband is only doing it by default, he has to eat what I cook or go hungry!1 -
