Hello there, I'm Croaker. Lady and I are finally getting married next year. We set a date of October 1st. The problem here is I am carrying around too much weight especially around the middle. When Lady and I met and we fell in love I had a physical job working out side. Fast forward 5 years and I now work in a laboratory (go Croaker for leveling up in life.) The downside is I work in a Laboratory and get no physical exercise. So I have been ballooning from a nice 170 -180 to 230-240. I started fixing my diet back in January and have been doing pretty good at it. I dropped down to 217 just by eating better. The problem is I have hit a diet plateau so to speak. I could tweak my diet more but I am pretty happy with it as it is. I eat plenty of vegetables and some fruit. I eat lean meats like fish and chicken for lunch and dinner is usually vegetarian or has little meat in it. As for grains, I have celiac disease so those are fairly restricted as it is. I do eat granola in the morning and a serving of cookies as a snack. Other than that we are looking at rice and occasional gluten free baked goods. Like I said my diet is pretty good. As for exercise I have started doing the NFYoga. Other than that I have zero exercise in my life. In the past I have enjoyed doing body weight training and I did lift weights when I was in college(I hated lifting weights...) All of that being said "I want to look Sexy as F*CK" for my wedding photos next year. Lady is a professional model so she always looks good and puts a great deal of effort into that. She goes to the gym several times a week, walks everywhere and eats really well... unless she is on a candy binge. Just as importantly I want to look Sexy as F*CK for her. Yes, yes there are better reasons to improve my health and well being, but this is what has me motivated. I want her to be proud to be seen with me. I want to have people look at us and think what a nice couple they are, not how the hell did he get her? So, I am looking for what to do to exercise and kick up my weight loss and of course look Sexy as F*CK. Thanks for paying attention folks. Croaker. P.S. I am a 28 year old male 5'11" 217 pounds with full medical clearance from my doctor to physically do anything I want. My diet was worked on by a dietitian so any major changes will be run by her.

New Challenge here we comeeee!!!! So my main quest is to be sexyyyy haha, Halloween is right around the corner, and I have 3 weddings in the next 6 months. 1 of which I am the maid of honor. I want to look damn good at all of these events. Goals: 1. Loose 10 lbs. Although I only lost 5 lbs of the goal of 10 last time I'm gonna aim big again. I'll be satisfied if I only loose 5 but why not reach higher? I'll weigh myself tomorrow on the official start date. 2. I just signed up for a half marathon in January. I haven't been running at all lately so I need to improve on that this challenge to be prepared for the race. 3x a week = A, 2x a week = B, 1x a week = C, 0x =F 3. Eating out is my weakness. Last challenge I tried to just eat better when I'm eating out which I wasn't very successful at. This time I want to try to trim down the amount of times I eat out a week. Not only will this help me save for all of my wedding trips in the near future but will help me towards my main goal. 2 times or less eating out = A, 3 times = B, 4 = C My fitness side quest is just to improve my upper body strength - since I had shoulder surgery I've lost most of my upper body strength I would just like to improve and be able to complete at least 5 normal push ups by the end of the challenge. Life side quest: save money again - I was successful last challenge was to save 700 bucks so I'd like to do that again. Save an additional 700 dollars by the end of this 6 weeks. ALLONS-Y!
