Hey All,

Just wanted to introduce myself to the community. I am a 29 year old guy in Syracuse, NY. At one time I was an athlete but over the years I have experience almost 50 lbs of creeping weight gain. My wife and I recently had our first baby, a girl named Jillian. I know that as she gets older she will begin to notice what we look like and how we eat and I owe it to her to set a good example. I have been doing this for about a week now and am already down about 4 lbs. This unlike other diets seems to be something sustainable since you can earn extra calories by exercising and it takes your current weight into consideration. I wish everyone luck in losing weight and getting healthier and I hope over time we can all support each other in anyway neccesary.

All the Best,

Adam

    Hey Adam,
    congratulations on the birth of your daughter Jillian.. kids are a wonderful thing and it's great that you are getting yourself healthy for her and for you. I am new to this site as well.. been here 9 days so far and I have committed myself to use MFP everyday ( tracking my food, writing on my page etc.). there are wonderful people here who will help you if you have a question and support you on your journey. Most of my family live on long island and a daughter in white plains, so you kept my eye.. feel free to add me as a friend.. good luck..
