Introductions

Hi all. Thanks for the warm invite onto FatBloggers. I’m really excited to be a part of this community. I think this will be helpful for my motivation and accountability. It really does seem like the guys here are very supportive of each other.

A little about me. I’ve been overweight my whole adult life. I recently discovered an activity that I thought would help motivate me to a more active lifestyle. I starting geocaching just a few months ago. It’s amazing, when you’re looking for treasure buried somewhere in the woods it’s easy to forget you’re actually out taking a hike. So I’ve worked caching into a weight loss plan. I supplement my outdoor activities with time in the gym supplied graciously by my employer. I record heart rate info for all my workout sessions. I’ve taken a few body fat percentage readings as well as blood pressure.

So far, I’m down 23 pounds from my June 1st start. I’ve hit the wall I never challenged myself to get over in past half hearted attempts and somehow got over it this time. I’ve hit on a program that I find stimulating, makes sound nutritional sense, and most importantly seems effective for my weight loss. And I feel better. That’s paramount.

Again, thanks for the invite and I look forward to sharing in our mutual struggles.

    Welcome Jereme, glad to have you on board! My son and I have gone geocaching a few times but not for a couple of years. I think I might have to dust off his GPS, I am remembering this to be fun and a good way to get some exercise too.
