in Introduce Yourself
Hello Everyone! I guess I'll just copy and paste my profile questions...
About Me
Hi Everyone, I'm 40, married to a lovely wife and 4 great children. I have the gene for being overweight having 3 brothers, my father and mother having real problems with it. I was also born 11lbs 10 oz! Sorry mom;). So far I have been able to avoid getting too far overweight, but my love for sweets, food, and my sit down computer job scares me. I'm just over the max target bmi and pretty much the heaviest I've been in my life so far. I joined fitness pal because I realized I'm at a point in my life where I think that extra help will make the difference, being too stubborn before to use any real program for eating and only using the boflex and treadmill as my own personal excercise routine.

Why I Want To Get In Shape
I simply feel better about myself and know that I can do more in life with the extra energy. I also have a huge phobia ; for getting overweight, (watching it happen to the family around me.) I also listened to my wife (she didn't know I heard) say wow under her breath years ago to a guy removing his shirt on a tv show ...and I've always wanted her to look at me in that way, I know...dumb reason, but yeah, I want her to say WOW! and not just "you look great hon, no worries"

My Inspirations
•Watching other people do it and seeing how much happier and confident they are

Nice to be around a bunch of others makin' their lives better!

    Welcome. Wanting to make the change is a great place to start. You can friend me and I will help you be accountable and get the results you want. My hubby now has those "wow" abs - he didn't start out too heavy, but he has definitely dropped his body fat.
