Hi All,
My name is Doug and I am 55 soon to retire with plans to live a much healthier lifestyle than I did during my career. I have already lost 41 pounds in about 4 months! (From 248 to 207 pounds). My goal weight is 155 which I hit 12 years ago. This is going to take a lot of motiviation so add me as a friend! Currently running or bicycleing daily and just added in weights and ab work this week.

You sound like you are on a mission Doug, and one that is working! Well done on your loss fo far!
I've sent you a request and there are plenty of people on here for a helping hand!
Keep it going!
Good Luck0 -
Way to go , Dave!
I retired in April and I'm loving it. I know you can reach your current goals and more.
I've met so many new people since I've been retired too; something I didn't expect. There's so many more options when you are home during the day.
Good luck to you and have fun.0 -
Good Luck Dave!
It sounds like you're on the right path, and the added weight training is only gonna help.
Added you as a friend, so let me know if you hit any bumps along the way!0
