Introducing Myself

Hello all,
I am a 41 year old, very overweight father of 3 beautiful kids (19, 17, 11) been married to my school sweetheart for 20 years and have been lucky enough to have moved around a bit due to my job so have seen a lot of the world. Lived in NYC for a while many years back, London, Mumbai, India and now Connecticut. Enjoy sports, soccer, football, cooking (loving the grill) and fixing up our new home.
I probably have somewhere in the region of 100lbs to lose (probably a bit more), I am 20lbs in (first 5 weeks) so should be here for the long haul. I figure that by writing this and adding a few friends along for the journey it might keep me on the right track. once I get started, I really enjoy the gym, I love to lift weights, I walk a lot (2 dogs help) and even kick or throw a bal around occassionally with my boys.
Looking forward to making some new friends and sharing some stories.
Good luck to us all.
