I lost my first 5 lbs!

Over the winter my dog hurt his paw and we both started getting less exercise, and I [40m,6'] got to my heaviest ever at 265+ lbs. I resolved to be healthier and to get to a healthier weight, as I have done many times, but have struggled with as I cannot do the same types of activities (running, biking, weightlifting) as when I was in shape (marathons, century rides...) without injuring myself, and then overeating and being less active, and gaining more weight, and feeling helpless.

I want to share that with getting a bit more exercise (mostly dog walks and chores) and counting calories (eating 25% less than reported by my fitbit), I am feeling healthier and starting to see steady weight loss (1.5-2.0 lbs/week).

Today I weighed in at 260 lbs and I feel great and I have confidence that I can keep this going for the next 60. And hopefully, when I get to a more reasonable weight I will be able to do more of the activities that I used to love.
