Hello MFP from the Valley

FallingAerowe

How's it going community? A friend of mine introduced me to the application while we were on Spring Break. I was a little skeptical at first, using the app sporadically. At the start of summer, MFP got me being more critical of what I eat, and before I knew it I was head deep into MFP's application. I started out at 215 lb at 5'9" and I'm now 198 lb. I'm shooting for 175 lb. I'm not certain if this is completely realistic as my body build is slightly different than the normal 5'9"; I have a huge rib cage/chest.

Beyond weight, I've also got fitness goals; continual improvement distance running in 30 minuets, and weights for muscle growth and toning. I've gotten a pretty good start on the running improving from 4.5 mph to almost 5.7 mph for the full 30 minuets.

I've recently started my career in Software Engineering, leading me to the Greater Phoenix Area. This involved a 1200 mi. move from my home/previous life in Oklahoma/Kansas. Starting out life anew. Looking to get more acquainted with the area and meet new people.

Cheers. ^.^
