Hello,

My name is Derek. I'm 48 years old, male 5'11" & about 50 lbs overweight. I literally woke up one day not long ago & realized I had to make some real changes when I was struggling to put on my shoes. I have been doing a lot of walking. About 3.5 miles a day for an hour and a half, and have been doing bodyweight exercises with dumbells as well. It's kinda just been about making better choices for myself. I'm pretty much switched over to bottled water, as opposed to other beverages, and eating slow-cook oats for breakfast with blueberries & bananas. I'm switching over to the stationary bike, rather than walking. I look forward to learning from others, as well as being a supportive member of the community. Thank you & have a beautiful day.
