in Introduce Yourself
So first off let me introduce myself. I'm a 23yr old male from NY. I was always fairly fit without even trying... then I left high school. In the 5yrs since my graduation I've put on 85lbs bringing me to 245lbs, adopted a completely sedentary life style and found a love of all foods and alcohol. Now, to the fun bit. My friend has also put on a little around the midriff. So in the spirit of friendly competition and the want to be healthier we decided to bet on who could get in the best shape by June 2014, the details of the bet don't really matter but suffices to say there is a more then a healthy amount of money involved. However, my concern is really not the money. I'm tired of being a fat slob, and that is exactly what I am. I found this site after a bit of lurking the internet and it seems like a great tool to help me get back to or better than my high school self. I think that about covers it, I will post pics in the future to lazy right now and not really sure what is acceptable as a photo with out showing to much.

    Welcome. Your first step is to love yourself. Success is guided by self motivation. Your desire to make a change in your life is the starter to a better life. This is not a diet but a movement towards a healthier you. Log your diet choices daily and determine what you can do differently the next day. If you meet your daily goal, celebrate by watching your favorite movie or go to the park for a stress free walk. Learn to reward yourself with life experiences and not food. Change your desserts from sweets to fruits. Do not let your friends intimidate you. You are your best friend and fan. This is not a bet; this is a longer and happier life. Begin your journey one day at a time and Good Luck with your FANTASTIC VOYAGE!
