    Welcome Jared, although I am 66 yo and 6'2", we are close to the same initial weights and goals. I started back on a nutrition and fitness plan in the fall. I was at 218 initially, and now I am down to 190, with 185 being my goal weight. I do weight HIIT M-W-F, and cardio T-T-S, with Sunday being my free day. My fitness level has improved dramatically, with my BioAge currently at 46 yo. For me, the binge eating is a lot easier to control when I am accurately tracking my caloric intake. It has also been very helpful for me with accountability to work with a nutritionist and a personal trainer. Good luck with your fitness journey!

    Hey brother, this is super inspirational thank you! Hat's off to you for your commitment to your fitness. Same thing with me, tracking my caloric intake helped a lot with binge eating. However I falter at times when I use binge eating to medicate and run from emotions instead of processing them. I am working through this though and building more self-awareness upon it.

    Again I really appreciate the warm welcome and your response, reading about your progress and success had me smiling from ear to ear.

    Hey brother, I appreciate your vulnerability and commend you for being accountable! IMO that's an absolute win, be compassionate with yourself. You got this, keep us updated, looking forward to how you'll work through this.

    Welcome Jared, no judgement here, post your progress, thoughts or whatever else keeps you engaged and motivated.

    Well done staying under that 300 mark trixster and staying on track.

    I love this walkingtofit, it's true, you will always have the freedom to choose how to respond. Definately one for reflection today.

    "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms-to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's way."


    My day yesterday went well, weeks of hard work when I could have done with taking time off, prepared a 72 slide presentation with my team (they did most of the work but I was prepared to present it) and interviewed about what we do. Great examples and responses and got a solid thank you and well done from the boss. Definately now looking back at my comments on Wednesday, these times always pass and you look back and think how silly it was to let it create stress.

    I've signed up for Cronometer for tracking, it does all the macronutrient reporting and some other stuff for far less than MFP. Tracking well so far, out early tomorrow so maybe no gym but will jump on the hone scales I think.

    The community and blog pages are free here so I'll just make the most of both worlds.

    Great job @mikeyrowlands with staying on task with your duties. Know that those emotions will always pass, it is the law of life. Eventually everything passes, again great job brother.

    @alvarotaipe12 phenomenal work with losing 0.5 kg, looking forward to your progress within this next month!

    I just bought my weight scale today and I weigh 215.2 LBS. The last time I went to the doctors I weighed about 220 lbs If I recall correctly, so thus far i've lost 5 lbs. I will be weighing in daily first thing in the morning before eating anything from here on out. I will keep you guys updated, my schedule for posting on this blog will be every tuesday and friday. Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome!
