That is an amazing story it really is. Good luck to on your fitness journey!:smile:

I always search for the best in people I have a rare intelligence which connects things that at first seem totally unconnected I am amazing with metaphors When I see my daughter or wife happy I am happy and that is all I need. I am able to see the beauty and simplicity of nature and art

Hi feel free to add me. 52 year old guy 5'7' currently at 190 trying to get to about 150. Eating 1800-2200 cals per day. More if I run or lift. Know my BMR and TDEE. Slow and steady for me. I am elated if I lose 2-3 lbs per month and still have energy to work out!

I know that for many real rewards are a great way to motivate. so power to all!:drinker: For me... it is really simple The way I look and feel is my treat! :glasses:

bump because this thread is too cool to sink in the depths!

@HKristine1 - Thanks so much for helping this is a great group and community! :smile:

@Mandy - That is the funniest thing I have read on MFP in a long time! :laugh: - Well played! :drinker:

@chmtastic - I am sort of embarrassed, but because of financial concerns we have to move in with her parents for a while. It is going to be tight quarters because they live on a 4x6 printed circuit board! @triciabh1 - Now that is funnier than anything I could have thought of... kids say the funniest things! @Jb - Thanks -…

Great Post! I have a whole stack of pants in the closet that are just waiting for me to fit back into. That is when weight loss and fitness get fun... when clothes start fitting better! :smile:

Hello Fellow relapser. I lost about 20 lbs with MFP last November when I just said "f it" and when AWOL. I am back and determined to lose 40-50 lbs and get fit. Please feel free to friend me.

It is cool. There are not enough guys here and we motivate each other in different ways. Feel free to friend. 52 year old guy. 40-50 lbs to lose. Doing slowly eating 1800-2200 calories per day with running and lifting.

Slow and steady!

@Euro - This is very well written and right on point! I wish I had read something like this 10 years ago and then maybe I wouldn't be where I am today. Great Post! :drinker:

@iplayoutside1 - I hear you there.. I just went through a really bad phase from November to April where I never logged onto MFP and gained 20 lbs. I just felt like I was in a "fog".

@leviteme - That is Beyond rad! Great job! :drinker:

@perserverence - that is right - Life is short and the fact that we can exercise is definitely a gift! :smile:

Thanks - I am not even have the Polar sign a "Pre-Nup" :drinker:
