^^^^ Spent a solid 10mins trying to make that sound NOT sound like a Craigslist "Casual Encounters" posting ^^^^
But seriously, I'm a young guy (lets say late-20s for the sake of argument), married, two kids, who is currently in law school. I'm not getting in shape to score at bars, or lay out at the beach (though that would be nice), but because I've come to the realization that (a) I want to be able to play actively with my kids, (b) I want to be around long enough to see my grandkids, and (c) I want to be an example, and not an embarrassment.
Now, I know myself well enough that if I don't have some guys going through the same thing at my side, I'll fail miserably. So, if you're willing to dish out some tough love, along with some support, and would appreciate some in return, please send me a friend request. I'm not doing any fad diets or ridiculous workout schemes, but I am a former college-level athlete, so I do hope to kick my own *kitten* into gear.
Send that friend request. Lets get 'er done.

Yep similar thing here although Im not in my 20's. 35 Happily married with two kids. I was getting really unhealthy and wanted to set a better example as well as become healthier and look and feel better.
Tried carrying my young daughter through the store and after about 10 minutes my arms were burning and I was out of breath. Very disappointed in myself for letting it get that bad.0
