Hi all 
I'm male, 36, 5"8 and 100kg as weighed today. That last stat needs to change!
I've dabbled in weight training on and off for the last few years, with occasional success, but my limiting factor has always been diet! With this in mind I've decided to concentrate fully on fat-loss for the time being, so I'm not trying to do everything all at once and achieving none of it. I stopped smoking about a month ago too, and gained about 7kg in that time. This extra fat has really affected me on a day to day basis, my back aches and my breathing suffers as my frame isn't designed to carry this huge bulge around my middle.
I'll be going keto. Low carb has worked for me before with fat loss, so going fully keto will hopefully do the trick. I'll be shopping tomorrow, and preparing a large part of my meals for next week so I'll have everything to hand. What I eat will be posted, along with links to the recipes where appropriate. I'll need willpower, but I've shown myself that I have it by stopping smoking so I'm confident.
I'll be exercising too, weights and cardio but I won't post too much about that here. Cardio will be every day either on an elliptical or my mountain bike, and I have a weights set up in my garage.
My goal is to drop 25kg of fat, and I think that that is achievable in 6 months. That six month timescale also conveniently takes me up to Christmas, when hopefully it will be time to reassess my goals.
My diet starts on Monday.
In a bit :wavey:
