Hello,
My name is TJ, I'm new to the site/forum and looking forward to being in shape and hopefully able to keep up with everyone here as far as staying dedicated to all the hard work it takes to drop the lbs!
I started jogging a few days out of the week right after Easter of this year and eventually started jogging daily!
I was not very hardcore on watching my diet but eventually got to the point where I do not drink Soda or eat ANY kind of junk food. Giving up junk food was fairly easy as I've never been someone who was really all about cookies and donuts or anything.
I also rarely drink alcohol anymore and a big part of my life is in the club scene!
I have lost about 20lbs with my jogging and low calorie intake.
Hope to learn a lot from you guys and maybe make some new friends!
Take care,
-TJ
