New here, 40, 230lbs and looking to loose some weight

Adrianqq

Hello,

I am 6'2, 40 years old, 230lbs. Despite denying it for years i am fat.

I have a lovely wife and two wonderful kids. I have a vey bad diet and do not do any training. I have finally decided to make a change and do something about it. I am doing this for myself and my family. I no longer want to be uncomfortable in clothes and want to be healthy, look good and feel good.

I am determined to change and reading some of the journals on mfp has really inspired me.

My plan is to cut dailey calories to 1800 and start the SL 5x5 strength programme.

I have tried to loose weight before but never with the support of you guys and mfp.

Please do add me as a friend. Would love to share with anyone.

Thanks

Hi I would be more than happy to help motivate and support you with your weight loss goals and if you'd like to add me that would be awesome. I'm always looking for new friends. It's a day to day process and a day to day learning curve but the support here is amazing and I find I am much better able to meet my goals with friends behind me.
