I don't have much to say or contribute I guess, I'm just excited in the bit of progress I made, and I think finally subbing here and starting to participate will help me keep it up.
Like 10 years ago I finally decided to lose some weight - and I did! counted calories in, calories out, exercised a lot and lost most of the 40-50 pounds weight I wanted to lose. Unfortunately I didn't keep with it and over the next 6 years I gained all of it back and then some. The munchies from marijuana and living with a fast-food/soda junkie have not helped.
The last 3-4 years I've wanted to lose weight and have occasionally tried to eat healthier and start jogging or biking, but never stuck with it. I hate jogging, and living on a dirt road in MN makes biking a pain even when it's warm enough out. I did CICO in the past, I know it works, I know how it works, I just couldn't maintain the changes in lifestyle.
Last august I reinstalled myfitnesspal for the umteenth time and really started counting. I wasn't seeing a ton of progress until September. My wife's school discarded a couple of nice old DDR pads (like metal frames, not folding cloth pads). One night tipsy with some friends in September we pulled it out just as something fun to try to do while drinking. well it's been two months and I haven't put it away yet! It's too much fun.
I've been really pushing myself and getting a LOT better at the game, which as been making it fun to exercise and see progress in my playing, even if progress in my weight loss isn't always obvious. At times I feel a bit silly being in my 30's and getting into DDR, but it's exercise and it's working!
I'm down 10-15lbs since I started, definitely noticing a change in the mirror, but my calorie tracking has slacked a bit recently so I need to get back on top of that.
That's all I guess! Thanks for reading.
