Whats going on everyone! Just wanted to say hi, as I am new to this on-line site. I am 42 years old and I am 2 years into my lifestyle change. I weighed in at 275lbs in December 2013. I absolutely hated the way I looked. I was constantly out of breath all the time doing the simplest things around the house. I lacked the energy or desire to get outside in such a beautiful city, and I was just generally sick of the way I felt and I just needed a change.

Since then I have dusted off the running shoes, moving past the aching joints, and taking this change to the next level. I have lost 50lbs over the last 2 years, currently weigh 225lbs and looking to take this lifestyle change to the next level and break through to my goal of 190lbs by the summer of 2015.

Now I am not going to say it was easy to get to this point. There were many days, I didn't feel like doing the work, making the right food choices, and dealing with the aching body the next couple of days after some of the workouts. I know they next 35 lbs is going to be even tougher. If you are like me, it was critical that I had people to motivate me along the way, people to talk to, share exercise techniques, food plans, and just be there when I needed their support. Well since we all live in "America's Finest City" I thought it appropriate that we can also be known as "America's Finest Support Group".

So let's keep it real San Diego, get out there and achieve your goals in our beautiful city, get in shape and help be there for your fellow So Cal neighbor!

Support and comments welcomed and appreciated!!
