Taggat Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 So the short version of this is I moved to CO back in August and started paying attention to my diet. I then discovered Nerd Fitness in January and really got started. Since then I've gone from 6'-0" pushing 200# of undisciplined couch potato to 155-160# of flying parkour athlete. I only have one problem, and that is I need to buy new clothes and I hate shopping. I am so very ok with this problem! Cheers! Tag 9 Quote Link to comment

Taggat Posted June 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Started with a calorie tracking in August just to pay attention to what I was eating, which turned into a change in eating habits. Then I found out about nerd fitness back in January and that's when things really got started. I did the beginner body weight work out religiously for three months and started climbing every Friday after work. In April my mom and wife split the cost of an intro to parkour class for my birthday, so now I do parkour 2-3 times a week and yoga every morning, and have cut simple sugar almost completely out of my diet and try to eat a more paleo/primal diet. 1 Quote Link to comment

Guzzi Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Calorie tracking is such a useful tool! There's a lot of newbies on here who have read Steve's blog and think that you're practically pushing an eating disorder on them if you suggest doing it, but it can be such an eye opener. I love MFP, I can honestly say that it changed the way I ate, and it gave me a better understanding about food and nutrition.

Taggat Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I used mfp religiously when I was first starting out. I've slacked off a bit to tell the truth, but I've also changed my eating and fitness habits a great deal as well. I think the best way to look at it for new people is just to gather the data first then figure out how to act on it. If they approach it as an experiment it seems less daunting. 1 Quote Link to comment
