Hello everyone!

Here is a little about myself. I am a 35 year old father that has been on my fitness journey now for about a year in a half. Many things have lead me to change my lifestyle but mostly it was for my daughter. I want to make sure I make best efforts in my life to always be there for hers.

I started out as a 270lb man in a corporate lifestyle and always eating very poorly and making poor choices when it came to my health. I am happy to say I currently weight 193lbs and am on my way to me goal weight of 175.

I have done this by changing my diet, controlling my portions and also by cycling (my new passion).

I have never really used the community here but I find myself looking for answers and hope some of them will be here.

Well thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you all are having a great day!

Make good choices,
Phil

    Hello Phil and Welcome to the forums, congrats on losing some pounds and continued good luck to you.

    I also live in South Florida and love the S Fla lifestyle, as far as weight loss is concerned .... Remember that most people underestimated their calories consumed and overestimate their fitness calories---- it is great that you'll be more active here on the forums!
