Greetings my name is Nyxks and I am 40 going on eternity - I am trying to shed the weight like so many others out there. I'm Married to Mate-To-Nyx (Norman). 2018 Stats 133,028 steps taken 177 floors 99.03 km walked 67,794 calories burned 2017 Stats 2,151,814 steps taken 2849 floors 1,599.9 km walked 976,351 calories burned 10 lost 40 gained 2016 Stats 2,727,167 steps taken 2,958 floors 2,029.95 km walked 977,761 calories burned 10 lbs lost 0 gained 2015 Stats 2,156,206 steps taken 2611 floors 1,612.73 km walked (1,002.10 miles) 990,863 calories burned 10 lbs lost 0 gained 2014 Stats 1,181.44 km Walked 2,075,800 Steps 960,402 Calories Burned 0 lbs lost 20 pounds gained I feel that I have a good self-image of myself, I also do not have any interest in what so ever as going on a "diet" to me plan healthy eating combined with regular working out is all that is needed (aka living a healthy lifestyle). I do not actually have a weight goal that I am looking for, but I do have a Body Fat % that I am aiming for instead (K yes there is a goal, but reaching it isn't a goal on my end more my doctor's side of the deal). I figure that is a better goal than the number of the scale since the scales never tell the full truth of the matter to start with. On a side note, I have Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP) which though doesn't really effect weight loss in and of itself however it can effect it because of what is needed to prevent an attack goes counter to a lot of weight loss deals including the management of other conditions I have (PCOS, Insulin Dependent Diabetes, Spinal Ostioarthrits and Fibromyaliga), so telling me to go or do LCHF isn't even a remote option unless I would like to end up in the Hospital with an attack. All that being said I've managed to work out a plan with my medical team and we've come up with a plan that works for me - which is 60% carbs, 25% protein, and 15% fat, not too far off of what SP says or what the Canadian Food Guide recommends, and its enough to keep me from an attack. I am not much of a meat eater, preferring a plant based deal. I'm also allergic to dairy and coconut, plus I have issues with eggs, nightshades, and a host of other foods and supplemental items so it's a juggling act to get things right for my own health - but something I'm always learning about and working to achieve. Outside of all this I am a pagan/LDS and am into macintosh computers, graphic design, web design and photography. I can be found on FB, Instagram, and Twitter under Nyxks. My Husband and I are ChildFree by choice and by nature's will. Inches Loss Since May 25th, 2006 ... 39.5 inches overall ... 30 inches from core

Short Term Goal = 250 pounds Medium Term Goal = 225 pounds Long Term Goal = 200 pounds as possible/health to do so 25% Body Fat is my goal (currently at 35%)

I am following the Canadian Food Guide as to what I eat in general, I eat junk foods as I will which is to say here and there. There is nothing that I can't eat save that which I am allergic to, to me everything outside of that is an option in moderation.

My name is Nyxks, and I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. i have a degree in Native Studies with a minor in Computer sciences and European History, as well as a certificate in desktop publishing, art fundaments and in ecommerce and a diploma in new media design. I have PCOS, Diabetes, Celiac, Porphyria, Spinal Ostioarthrits and Fibromyaliga - all of them make getting the weight off a minor problem for one reason or another, and all of them carry medical problems which I have to live with, but only one of them can kill me if i eat wrong or take the wrong medications (talk about a b and a half). By trade I am a graphic and web designer, and have been working in the field as a freelancer for just over 18 years now. I own my own business doing web sites and some DTP here and there for small companies, I also work seasonally as a progressional photographer.

I am ChildFree I am Married to a wonderful man who I love with all my heart. I enjoy reading Science Fiction and Fantasy, with some horor on occasion.
