Retired Military Guy, never really worried about weight much. Constantly active, always in the gym and I love the outdoors. Camping, Fishing, Hiking. Played sports pretty much my whole life. Then I retired from the military and became sedentary. Still love the outdoors but was content and didn't actively work out.

Weight began to creep up and I wasn't too worried about it. My friends noticed and ribbed me a little/lot. Still as the years crept by I figured a guy my age didn't have to worry about weight that much. My long time friend and companion (my dog) passed after 13 years, now I didn't even have an excuse to walk around the block. Retired again, this time for real. Turned 62 and was recovering from a horrible stomach surgery. Sat around getting even fatter. "262" was a number that was unimaginable for me. BMI was way up, even though "normal" is a ridiculous measurement when it comes to BMI.

It took me until February of this year to get my stuff together and make a change. Started limiting the carbs and started logging my food. Started walking again. Now I won't go to bed unless my Apple Watch rings are closed and so far so good. I am now starting to lift again, I feel better but am flabby. Need to really up my weight lifting game.
