Hello to you all!

wagstaf

Just introducing myself here:)

I weigh in at 214lbs at the moment which is about 9lbs I've put on over a Christmas. I've put about 15 lbs on since January last year when I had a car accident and was immobile afterwards for a while then dragged down with a busy work schedule and bad habits!
My resolution is one I am keeping. I want it get back to 180 lbs with no time goal but ideally in the next six months.
I've joined a gym and plan to weigh my meals to keep portion sizes down but I don't plan to calorie count - I just want to eat sensibly and exercise which will be swimming for 39 minutes twice a week and the gym (running and cross training to start) 4 times a week for an hour (depending on how I get along).

I'm really drawing on your experience of is that a good idea or are there any disadvantages with my plan - particularly with not calorie counting.

Happy new year to you all and thanks for your help.

Mark
