in Getting Started
I have lost 12 pounds so far and have about 23 to go. I have my weak days but it is fine. I have a wife and a 4 year old that I love dearly and want to be a healthier me. I was 160 about 5 years ago and dad passed away and didn't really care what I was doing for a while and went up to 195. Trying to get back to 160 for myself and my family.

    Just curious...how tall are you? You're almost exactly like me. I'm 5'10" for height. I'll be 45 in October. Last year I was 167 or so. Nice and lean, I guess. At least most of my clothes fit. Then summer hit and I just went wild on food. Still exercised, but it wasn't keeping up with my poor diet. End of year I was 191 or so. Not good. Felt like crap and so puffy, especially my gut. I've lost about 13 to 15 pounds in the past six weeks and feel great again. My goal is to be about 165. Definitely feel that I could always be slim in my as long as I am aware of what I'm eating and keeping active. Good luck!

    Thanks so much to all. Gojohngo71 I appreciate your comments. We are very similar. Trying to walk 10000 steps a day and sometimes that is hard. I think during the summer I will be even more active and hopefully will get the rest of the weight off in the next 16 to 20 weeks. Thanks again to all.

    Awesome! And I agree - this works. I have dropped 11lbs in 6 weeks. I am pretty amazed with how well this is working :)
