Introduction Text Something traumatic happened to me last year and, although I was neither at fault nor able to prevent it, I still have to live with the consequences of it every day... I turned 50. After realizing that I am now most certainly closer to the date of my death than the date of my birth, I decided that this would be the "good" half of my life and started getting healthy again. For the past month, I've been able to successfully shed 2 pounds per week and realized that being a part of a community would help keep me going. So I logged in today for the first time in a very long time.

To weigh 240 by Christmas and, yes, I am on track to beat that date. That's not my final weight goal but I am breaking it into manageable pieces instead of one large, intimidating and overwhelming number.

I am a second degree black belt in karate so I find myself in the dojo for a couple hours twice a week. On top of that, I just started a new stretching program and I use a set of resistance bands for strength training.

Male, Chicago suburbs, 50...

Nidan (2nd degree black belt) in Goju-Shorei Karate, nerd, and I love to cook. Oh, and to pay the bills I am a Technical Project Manager.
