Long road started...

Hey, it's good to see someone in a similar situation that I find myself in. I graduated in 05 at around 180lbs, played football, ran track, and did pretty much anything else that was physical. I went to University on a Football scholarship and bulked up to around 215. I came home, got sick, and found out I had a rare condition called Wilkies syndrome that caused me to lose 60lbs in the 5 months leading up to my diagnosis and surgery. After the surgery I wasn't able to do much, and when I was finally able to just never got back into it. My weight slowely went up and up, and now I find myself at 240lbs and pretty soft in the mid-section lol.

I just put this app on my phone on Tueday, and started tracking my meals and began my workouts on Wednesday. Being on day 3 I don't have any results yet except for the satisfaction of knowing I've at least started the long journey to my goal weight which is also 200lbs. I also agree with you on the "Binge Day", except I call it a "Reward Day". It's not only helpfull with will power throughout the week, but also if you don't allow a binge every once and a while your body will freak out and hoard the junk you eat in the even of a slip in your diet.

Anyways that's my story, and my goal. If I'm able to maintain the diet and exercise that I have over the last few days (fingers crossed) the app says that I should weigh around 225 in 5 weeks. That would be awesome because that would mean that I may be able to reach my goal weight by my goal time, which is Dec 26th - the day I leave for Cuba

I'll add you as a friend, which is an honour as you would be my first lol. Whether or not you accept is up to you but I think we could benefit from eachothers motivation and common goals.
