Bonjour

[Bullit]

Hi all,

New guy here. Stumbled onto this site via the Tapatalk app- kudos for supporting it!

 

About me.... well, I'm old. 45. I saw Star Wars in its original theatrical run. 

I've done the ol' yo-yo diet song and dance many times. Last time I dropped some weight was in 2008 where I went from 212-195. 

 

So, what's different this time? 

Well... a few things:

1. I have discovered Crossfit. This is the first time I've found a Cardio'ish activity that I actually enjoy. I truly like this stuff!
2. The box is right by my house. I'm talkin' a 1 minute walk. There are NO excuses not to train. 
3. My wife is doing this with me, it just makes it so much easier when you're both going thru it together. 

We started a 3 week Xfit on-ramp mid-March, have completed that and have now moved to the normal adult stream. We're both really diggin' it. 

I've also been closely tracking calories via MyFitnessPal with a goal of just over 1800/d.

 

My goals are mostly non-scale based, inches lost are much more important than weight lost, but weight loss would be nice too . We've taken our 'Before' pics - I'm excited to take them as goals are attained. 

Here are my goals, I'll add new ones as I attain current ones:

 

START stats:

Weight: 212

Stomach: 41"

Waist: 39"

 

GOAL 1

Weight: 199

Stomach: 40"

Waist: 38"

 

GOAL n

Weight: 185

Stomach: 35"

Waist: 34"

100 Burpees: Sub-10:00
