Hi there! I'm a 50-year-old guy from Savannah (just hit that milestone), and I used to be heavy — went from 340 down to 195 as of today. So I suppose now I'm simply old, right?

Over the past 20 years I was basically on a never-ending bulk, and as I move into my 50s I've been working on dropping the weight. Sure, it was a good time and I got crazy strong, but I also ended up really fat.

These days my goals are just to look nicer, feel healthier, and stick around longer, so I'm joining up to pick up whatever tips I can from all of you.

Stay well, and be nice.

Glad to have you along — I'm fresh here myself. That weight drop is seriously impressive!

Did your strength stick around through it?
 
I can't lift what I used to back when I weighed over 300 pounds, though I still handle a fair amount.

Now that I'm sitting near 16 percent BF, people have started complimenting me, and a guy at the gym even told me he wished he looked more like me — that's happened 0 times in my entire life.

One day at a time, working on a better version of myself.
