A year ago the doctor office scale said I weighed 107.7kg. In August 2024 (my wife and) I signed up for Noom. In March 2025 my home scale read 79.3kg.

I'm walking an average of 15000 steps per day and striving to eat approximately 1800-2000 calories including at least 100g of protein daily.

My best days start with what's become my favorite breakfast: a generous bed of fresh garden lettuce plus a handful of baby carrots for crunch, about a cup of fruit (like blueberries, cherries, mangos, peaches) warmed from frozen, sometimes a thinly sliced apple or banana, a serving of Greek yogurt, a microwave poached egg, sometimes a handful of baked marinated (honey mustard garlic) tofu cubes, and either a crumbled rice cake, or a slice or two of whole wheat toast, or a thin sliced frozen quartered section of a Costco blueberry muffin for carbs. Sometimes a small handful of pistachios added, but nearly always some Sriracha or other hot sauce drizzled over the whole thing for heat. Sometimes the fruit’s in a smoothie with protein powder mixed in and poured over the salad like a thick dressing.
