Hi, Jim checking in

Hi, I'm Jim. I've actually been using MFP for 5 months, just never got into posting on here, just used it as a calorie counter. I hit my first goal of 10 lbs off and am shooting for about 7 more lbs before I get to 6-8% body fat.

My overall goal was to increase my stamina, feel better and lose a bit of the beer gut. I worked out quite a bit (I'm active duty military) but sometimes my job (a lot of flying) had me eating poorly and when I wasnt' deployed I was enjoying many a British Ale while being stationed in the UK.

On this deployment I decided to try the Paleo-ish diet. I still ate a few things that were verboten but for the most part I stuck to it (I'd say 95%). I feel a lot better and lost weight and combined with an interval exercise regimen and some weight lifting, it seems to be working pretty well. I will post more on that in the success stories, but for now, that's it.
