What started me on all this was a doctor telling me that I was technically obese and the secret to losing weight was to eat less and exercise more.
Man, she must have thought she was a frickin' genius to come up with that one liner!
Not so simple as it comes down to how you exercise and long cardio sessions such as running is not the answer to losing weight.

I've been exercising by building guitarsWhich is not as crazy as it sounds as I have to cart all the tools and a table from the garage to the carport and every time I need another tool its another trip, so lots of walking, bending etc. Plus the leisurely bike rides and changed the way I eat. I used to always eat fresh fruit after my evening meal, then by 8pm I'd be looking for snacks. I've stopped buying snacks and eat the fruit later. Except for dinner I don't really eat meals. I just sort of have a bite here and there when I feel hungry. The whole "breakfast time, Lunch time " thing was invented during the industrial revolution so factory workers would all eat at the same time. I know I should eat breakfast and not have the main meal at night but when you care for a aged person who demands their meat and 2 veg at 6pm it makes it easier to just comply.

Great story Muzza and suspect there are many others out there with similar things going on in their lives too.
Even better to hear that you are on top of things and in a much better place. Well done mate and keep at it as the results clearly show it works.

@ Muzza I got diagnosed with Minor Depression a few years ago and got put on a course of 30 Sertraline GA tablets, I ended up completing the course and after that I've been pretty good ever since, and I developed a few strategies to help me cope, one of these strategies is to do anything related to music, since it's something that makes me feel good inside, building guitars is something that's helping me cope with day to day life, you're not alone mate.
Issue is I am not a man. haha.
I recommend MyFitnessPal to anyone wanting to lose weight. I have been using this for about 6 weeks and have dropped about 4 kgs. My doctor recommended going slow and dropping about 20kgs over 12 months so this is a plus. I have been tracking everything I eat on this and hitting the gym 4ish times a week. Tracking my calorie intake actually made me surprised about how much was in some of my favourite foods.
Good stuff Emily.
Whilst it is called The Man Challenge I suggest that any women wanting to have a go just sign up their man and tag along for free as the meals and exercises are suitable for either gender. He does make a specific female protein shake but cannot see any big deal as plenty of female athletes follow a similar HIIT and diet regime.
