in Introduce Yourself
At a point in life where it’s time to turn the dad bod around and get back in shape. Motivated and ready but lots to learn from the nutrition standpoint!

    byrd165,
    Right there with you, only mine is a granddad bod. Still active, exercising and playing racquetball, but the scale has not been my friend.

    You have both made a start, read the posts and forums record your food daily and exercise, you can do this!

    It's a good idea to get yourself a food scale. It's really eye-opening to see how much we actually eat.

    Yes a food scale is a MUST!! Also, be realistic with your goals and the time frame. Don't try to lose too much too fast.

    Agreed. I suggest using the MFP settings for 1lb a week

    I understand, hopefully with a good plan, some patience and a little luck we can meet our goals. Good luck!
