I started on my journey at the beginning of January, just a bit before you. I was at 215 and set a goal of 175 for myself. By May I was down to between 185-190. Baseball season heated up and my drinking kicked up a notch. I spent a month or so pretty much just maintaining at that. After baseball season ended I have kicked it into full gear. I'm down to 182 earlier in the week.

The eating much healthier is just a normal thing for me now. When I know I'm going to have a dinner that's not the best I am sure to exercise more and be very careful of what I eat during the day.

I do some light weight lifting 5-6 times a week. Also started doing couch to 5k just as a way to get some running in. I've not a slow twitch person, so running distance has never been my thing even when I was in great shape. I stopped C25K when I got really deep in and it got to 20 min of running at a time. I restarted after baseball season on week 1. On the other days I lift, but don't do C25K I use my elliptical.

Not sure I'll stop at 175. I'm thinking I'll push it down to 160 or so.

I started my weight loss on Feb 23rd. I was 253.6 lbs. I had just turned 58 yrs. At first I just watched what I ate and in 2.5 months lost 26 lbs but stalled. Then I started keto about a month ago and have lost an additional 17 lbs, now at 210.8. Total weight loss 42.8 lbs. Goal weight is 160. The only exercise is walking, I try to get in at least 2 -3 miles four times a week. I still have a long way to go but I'm fitting in clothes much better and that's a big plus.
