Started at 210.8 lbs. on 8/31/2018 with a goal of 180.0 by my birthday in February 2019.

Joined MFP in late October 2018.

Reset goal weight to 177.0 and achieved a day after my 64th birthday. Learned about setting a range for goal weight here rather than having a single weight so set my goal for 172-177.

Have consistently been at 177 or below for 6 weeks and this morning hit a pleasant weigh-in. I’m grateful for the resources and support here at MFP.

    Thank you @robertwroach1250 and @SailorDH, the weight continues to melt off now that I’m running, even after upping my calories. I now have the pleasant chore of needing to eat more. Who would have thought?

    @maronesax1972, thank you. Following the mantra of Jeff Cavaliere to be light, lean and strong, placing cardiovascular conditioning and strength endurance before hypertrophy training in my approach. Do have a four-pack starting to come out of hibernation but not like yours in your avatar. Enjoy your youth.

    Time to start eating more, never thought I’d weigh the same as I did 43 years ago for my Army discharge physical.

    Just now:

    Disregard the body fat percentage, truth is probably 18 percent. My hydration was high and this causes body fat reading to be lower than the truth.

    This is about what I looked like close to Army discharge 43 years ago stationed in Republic of South Korea. I think I have more muscle now similar to my avatar photo except a little leaner:
