After well over a year removed from finishing the Insanity workout, I had gotten back up to the 192-195 range of weight. I got some bloodwork back showing that my cholesterol and other stuff was out of whack when I am only on 5mg of Lipitor. So I decided to try and lose some weight.
I downloaded myfitnesspal for my iPhone and started tracking calories. I discovered pretty quickly how fast that shit adds up. The app told me that in order to lose a pound a week I needed to average 1730 calories a day. I am 11 or so weeks into it right now and have been steadily dropping. The lowest I have seen on the scale is 178, but I have been between 178 and 180 on a day to day basis.
The interesting this is that I can actually see a difference on my body, and my wife commented last night that I don't snore very much at all anymore. So I'm continuing on this calorie counting stuff, and my first goal is 175 pounds. Once that is done, I think that I will keep on going to see if I can hit the high 160's.
