I experienced stress and loss of apetite early this year. Used that to my advantage by undertaking a proper diet, exercising at the gym at least an hour a day (cardio and weights, and sleep hours of 8pm to 3:30am. 3 liters of water a day. No alcohol or tobacco. Healthy vitamins for supplements.

Result? So far I’ve gone from 232 lbs. in February to 186 today. Goal is 160. Waist size from 44 to 36. I have not felt better in years.Energy, mind, balance, hearing, attitude, coordination, and blood pressure have all improved. Stress is greatly reduced. Cursory body scan puts it ten years younger than actual age.

Having reached retirement age, I still work full time and have two part time jobs that are not demanding. Full time is sedentary, so to exercise daily is essential. It feels *so* good!

I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness. Do not be excessively righteous and do not be overly wise. Why should you ruin yourself? -Eccl. 7:15-16

Nice. Good job. 186 would be my goal. When I got sick in 2021, likely COVID-19(84) I got down to 228. Now I gotta work to get back to that. 40lbs down from that (without getting sick) would be GREAT.
