Hey everyone. I'm pretty new to the whole fitness thing. 32 y/o, overweight/obese for most of my life, terrible eating habits, and completely sedentary.
In August '12, I started working out in earnest. I'm 5'11" and my starting weight was 190 lbs. Probably somewhere between 25-30% body fat, I'd guess. I began with elliptical trainers since I have foot pain (my excuse for so very many years), and would go for an hour a day 4-5 days/week. Without changing my diet, I lost 40 lbs, currently standing at 150 lbs. Having reached a plateau recently, I've replaced some of the cardio with bodyweight exercises like burpees. I've also started tracking my diet and eating better, and I'm noticing results on a weekly basis. Thanks for giving me this opportunity to gloat.
Here's a before and after:
