in Introduce Yourself
Hi there! 41 years old with a 21 month old daughter... Loving being a dad and looking to take care of myself more so I can have the best chance at spending the most time with my baby! Already learning lots about how wonky my diet has been, but I'm already 2+ months without caffeine and am knocking out processed sugar. I like mutual community support. Also enjoy learning about new and healthy recipes... Send them my way!

    I have a 9 month old boy at home, and a full on dad bod formed over here! Been working back to shape for a few months now. This app/site is a great help.

    Being a dad is hard, but keeping the dad bod off might be even more challenging. It’s a constant battle for me. Keep it simple for starters, just maintaining a few hundred calorie deficit each day will create some very positive changes.

    I hear you man. I got a 2 year old and a 2 month old. The dad bod is alive and well on my end. Sugar has been a big battle on my end. Finding replacement beverages has been a battle! I noticed that eating almonds and cashews have helped cut cravings. Makes me feel full and they are lightly salted. I don't rely on the sugar to keep me moving now. Plus, I'm over the crash that sugar does.
