About Me:

Hey, what's up? I'm Alykhan. I was born in Nairobi, Kenya and grew up in Florida. I love my family and food. I hate alarm clocks and cold weather. In my day job, I'm a professional number cruncher. When I'm not saving the world with spreadsheets, I'm usually "sitting" as my wife likes to say. But that typically involves reading, writing, and thinking up new ways to get better at life. I love eating, but I also like to stay lean, which is a constant challenge. I enjoy playing soccer (four-time corporate intramural champion) and since I’m an extreme introvert, this is about the extent of my social resume. I am a calorie counting enthusiast. I've been active on MyFitnessPal for several years and have written a book on my step-by-step approach to weight loss and calorie counting called Calorie Counting Made Easy: https://www.amazon.com/Calorie-Counting-Made-Easy-Exercise/dp/1523994193/ I love creating Excel spreadsheets to improve my personal life and helping others do the same. I am a lifelong student, so I use writing and this weird thing called the internet to pass whatever useful knowledge I acquire on to others. If any of this rambling sounds cool to you, then you're just as nerdy as I am and we'd probably get along. Check out my website if you want to learn more! https://healthspreadsheet.com/

Why I want to get in shape:

To look my best, feel my best, and motivate others who are interested in doing the same. Being in great physical shape will empower me to take care of my family, stay young at heart and not suck at life.
