Incredible!! Absolutely thrilling that someone can tell it like it is, have results, and didn't require anything but true effort. I love this post. Thank you so much for sharing. You really made me think and honestly you even gave me a little boost to get my butt out in the cold and do some walking. After all it is only a half hour and exercise makes me feel awesome. (After it is over of course!) Great work, honestly!!! An amazing feat!!0

^^This exactly. I am a big fan of tough love when it comes to the effort you put in to yourself. No excuses! I have had no one to blame but myself for my choices. Thanks for sharing your story. Well done.0 -
If I didn't know you were married to your lovely wife, and if I wasn't married to my wonderful husband, and if I also wasn't probably 40 years older than you, I'd say let's get together!!! LOL You're an inspiring guy and I want to keep reminding myself of your wise counsel. Thank you for your post.0

Congrats on your hard work! Thanks for sharing.
Do you mind if I ask how tall you are? If not, and you are a literalist, how tall are you?
You say you want to be faster, stronger, healthier. Have you definitized those goals? Do you prefer to have specific goals, or just a direction?
Finally, BEER!0 -
DUDE. If you don't start a blog and let the world follow your inspiring, funny, entertaining way of storytelling, it will be a shame. Seriously. Also, please update your post with a side-by-side comparison for us lazy scrollers, pleaseandthanks.0

Well, my doctor and I say that I'm 5'7". My wife disagrees and says I'm 5'6". So, I'm 5'6".
I haven't really put numerical goals on my healthier/faster/stronger yet. I guess, in a way, I'd just like to beat my own personal records.
Like,
- I want to be able to squat my starting weight for a full workout, etc.
- I want to finish a half marathon, beat my previous 5k/8k times.
- I wanna be able to do like 30 pull-ups and chin-ups without stopping.
- I wanna stop a speeding truck from running over an errant kitty
As far as healthier, I'd like to get down to a lower body-fat percentage. I'm not shooting for anything ridiculous, but maybe 18-20% would be a goal.
I won't be disappointed if I can't do the 30 pull-ups... if I can do more tomorrow than I could do today, that's progress ya know?
Also, yes to BEER.0 -

Sure.
For the TL;DR crowd.
This was me a year ago.
I decided to eat healthier, eat the right amount, workout, etc.
This is me this morning:
153 lbs gone and it doesn't suck.0 -
