Hello guys & gals!

I'm posting here in hope of finding friends / members of community to follow my journey to healthier life and giving any advice and support they could share. My diary is open.

I'm 42 y.o. male, 183cm height. My life has undergone drastic changes last 4 years, and I haven't paid due attention to my health. Recently I got myself bath scales and saw 102.6 kg there, and large presence of visceral (and skin) fat is also obvious when looking in the mirror.

I really want to get in shape, and keep it. I chose keto diet / moderate calorie deficit / moderate exercise as my path. I lost 20+ kg using similar approach multiple time during my life but wasn't able to keep it just because it wasn't my focus, and you truly need to make healthy eating and regular physical activity a part of you daily life.

I have set some goals: one week, two weeks, a month, two months, three months, half a year, 9 months and a year.

To get there, I really need all the help I can get.

Thanks for reading, and please add me / follow my diary.

Ilia.

    I’m recently returning. I never took advantage of the community or any of these new resources. I’ve always used this for tracking calories and nothing more. There is so much more here. I’m 47 and about 120 pounds overweight. I never thought I’d be 300 pounds. It’s hard to get off the floor and roll out of bed. This didn’t happen overnight. This happened one poor choice after another, choosing convenience over health.

    You have a long way to go, but with the amount of weight you need to loose the progress will be immense at first.

    What is your plan?

    I'm 28 pounds down, but still more than 37 to go. And then I'll have to stabilise my intake so I can maintain it.

    I really want to do this in half a year time.
