A quick update

Hello everyone. I haven’t hit wonderland yet and that’s okay. Still dealing with hip and knee issues that I suspect is arthritis related. Avascular Necrosis was ruled out upon getting the MRI results. I’ve dialed down my cardio as I’m trying to build muscle and reduce hip and knee pain. I went for a DEXA scan today. I also reviewed my Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). It was better than I thought and I will be adjusting my calories (higher) accordingly.

I’m not as active in posting here as I used to be. I’m currently filling out applications for a second graduate degree focusing on mental health and addiction counseling. Hard to think I want to go back to school at 58 and have the belief employers will even want to hire the old guy.

I see posts here complaining about weight not coming off fast enough, or loose skin, or walking doesn’t work for weight loss. Sure parts of my body are starting to resemble a Sharpie however,I healthier, happier, and more alive than when I weighed over 430 lbs. The secret to weight loss is CICO, patience, and time. You need all three to be successful.

Recently someone asked me my secret in dropping over 200 lbs but didn’t the idea there isn’t a quick fix. The best I can tell anyone is to start sooner and don’t get discouraged. It’s 6 or 7 weeks that I’ve been in sight of Onderland. I’ll get there, just not today.
