I committed to getting healthier this year. Dieting only for the first few months and the gym 3 - 4 days a week starting in April. Still in teardown mode but have trimmed 6" off my waist this year (8" since last winter). Down 4 sizes in pants and 2 in shirts. Can't do the GLP1 meds because of pancreatitis so just diet and exercise. Met my first goal of buying jeans not in the big and tall dept last week. Plan to be done tearing down by the end of the year to begin adding muscle next year. I love the gym and can't figure out why I quit going about 10 years ago! Still under construction but moving in the right direction. A little before pic and a pic today. This is a big reason I've posted very little as I am strictly counting calories AND keto together. Thought I'd share, making it public keeps me held to task!

Nice work Jeff keep it up. Easy to stop but way more rewarding to keep going. As I get older and in and out of the gym and better habits the one thing that always keeps me going is trying to keep telling myself I’m trying to be in better shape now than when I was younger!

Way to go Jef
Yep you lost a letter. Check out Doctor Amen. He recommends testosterone replacement and I'm going to check it out this year.

You are looking great Jeff. Since retirement it is hard to get myself motivated to do more for myself. I am doing OK but could do more.
