Howdy all, Bruce Campbell is the name. Bruce works too.

Not the famous one, before anyone asks. Then again, who is to say I'm not, there's no way to tell.

For the last few weeks I've been digging around online, trying to work out how well the various weight control methods actually perform, and I ended up finding my way here. My hope is to soak up everything the community knows, and somewhere down the line hand back some advice and experience of my own. A bit about me: these days I'm in SWFL sharing a place with my brother. Things are quiet on the work front, and Florida is not where I want to stay, so I'm planning a move onto a sailboat to wander the Caribbean / East Coast, quite possibly the worst money decision I will ever make.

What I'm really after is picking up as much as possible from the people here, so that I can begin a journey of my own and eventually contribute back.

I'm not wildly overweight and not especially unfit: the gym gets 3-4x a week, I stand 5'11 and sit near 190lbs. The target would be a lean 160-170 again. My lifestyle is reasonably healthy, and I've done spells of Intermittent Fasting in the past, which worked well for me while I stuck with the program. Sharing with my brother has been tricky, since he and my other roommate both lean heavily on alcohol, and I've been drinking more than at any other point in my life. About 30lbs have come on since I moved in. I've knocked out 90% of my drinking since and stepped the gym work up, but now I'm after alternative weight control supplements, because IF badly disrupts my training and fitting workouts around eating windows with my job has turned out to be a struggle.

Keen to learn from everyone here, and keen to share my own experiences further down the line.

Bruce
