Hey hey... 46 now... and I've kept the weight off for the most part (beats my "best" of 280!) and still feeling decent despite the years doing their best to make me feel older. I'm updating to set some short- and long-term goals here regarding LBM and BF% (lean body mass and body fat percentage respectively). I'm interested to check in on them in 3-5 years and see how I'd progressed. ;)

Now
LBM 162 lbs
Fat 51 lbs
Weight 213 lbs

Short-Term
LBM 183 lbs
Fat 17 lbs
Weight 200 lbs

Long-Term
LBM 202 lbs
Fat 18 lbs
Weight 220 lbs

Wow, old profile Bio down there. :) I'm now 43 and have *three* kids! They're currently ages 2.5, 11 and 13. Still having fun and hoping this will be the last time I have to work at weight loss. I'm fully intending to keep it this time and I'm making a promise by setting an aggressive goal for myself. If I hit that goal I'll be the lightest I've been in my adult life so there will be absolutely no going back!
Feel free to write. I'm happy to chat!

I'm a 37 year old male who has always been relatively fit and enjoyed weightlifting. The problem is that most of my exercise came from running around with my kids (5 and 7) and sports. I've always had the problem of weight slowly creeping up on me, but it had never been a huge issue to me until a few years ago. I had always thought I could take it off whenever I wanted, but that time never came up. Now, with some major changes taking place in my life, I am finally at that point.
Wish me luck!
