My name is Jeremy. I’m 42 and motivated to lose a lot of body fat. No tricks, or shortcuts. I want to do this the right way, and hold myself accountable. SW 400, CW 375. Let’s do something we’ve never done before.

    Hi, Jeremy, and welcome!

    Congratulations on losing that first 25 pounds: That's wonderful. It sounds like you've made good progress on dialing in some new habits.

    I like that "no tricks or shortcuts" statement. IMO, too many people arrive here with a "lose weight fast" mentality, adopt very restrictive eating rules and punitively intense exercise . . . then disappear pretty fast. I hope that means they've been ultra-successful, but I have my doubts. There's a lot to be said for a sustainable, moderate routine. (That seems to be a common approach among folks here who've lost weight and are maintaining the loss longer-term.)

    Wishing you success!

    Thank you. I’ve lost weight before and that is really helpful. I know it’s not gonna come off overnight. It’s a long process. Especially at 42, it’s not like it was at 29 lol
