Hi everyone,

My wife has been on here for some time now, and I'm finally getting myself in gear. I'm a software developer so I sit on my duff for 8+ hours a day with little activity, though i do try to get on the treadmill or walk around the block when I can. Also my eating has gotten WAY out of hand which I hope keeping track of it here will help.

If anyone's in the same boat maybe we can 'friend' each other, or whatever it's called on here :) I need all the support I can get.

Take care,
Sam

    I'm training for my second half iron and working on gettingthe extra (50 extra) pounds off before September. I ALWAYS need help staying on track. Chocolate and cheese are my two favorite food groups.Feel free to add me.
    p.s. my friends and I will more than likely keep you entertained with our weightloss challenge as well.

    Sam, I'm IT hardware, and yes, there is a lot of sitting on your duff in this job. I've been here just about a week and am ramping up slowly to a proper activity level.

    Sending a friend invite your way.

    Edit: LOL - just realized you had a Trash-80 avatar! :D I was C64.
