Just getting started this week

Here's a summary:
1) Eat the appropriate caloric (and macronutrient) intake for your goals and track intake accurately. I think eating mostly nutrient dense and whole foods while still allowing some "treats" is a reasonable starting point/guideline.
2) Exercise regularly. Do something you enjoy or at worst case choose the least objectionable activity. Ideally you should include some form of resistance based training as a part of your program.
3) Get adequate rest/sleep.
4) Establish metrics and use them appropriately.
5) Repeat.

My input is start slow, don't change to many thing at the same time.

If interested check out the Male Stop group.

Make sure you have support on here! It really helps, people that are supportive and willing to cheer you on, listen to you vent and celebrate with you the little goals! Welcome!
