Hi everyone, I'm Lee.

I've only posted a couple of other times before, but never introduced myself, so thought I should do!

I'm looking to get down to 168 pounds, currently sitting at 194. I started using MFP in July 2011, and lost 18 pounds in 3 months, then I moved house, got a new job, and basically got distracted from using MFP, thus putting 11 pounds back on.

Then 8 weeks ago my girlfriend gave birth to our beautiful baby boy, Frankie, and I thought to myself that being a fit and healthy Dad was one of the best things I could do, it'd let me spend more time enjoying our children, as before I would get out of breath easily when playing with our 2 year daughter Karma-Lily.

So I started MFP back up again, and I joined a gym, since Frankie arrived I have lost the 11 pounds I put on, and am enjoying every minute of getting healthy!

Long way to go (26 pounds) but if I can be there by Xmas i'll consider it a job well done.

Anyway, introduction made, looking forward to meeting everyone!

    Lee, congrats on your new addition to your family and on losing the pounds that you gained not too long ago!

    I'm actually sitting at about the same weight and planning to lose about the same, so if you'd like to add me, that'd be great too! Good luck with everything :flowerforyou:
