I'm new. Got about 200 lbs to loose. Have a Fitbit Ultra that I've linked to this account. Having problems making time to exercise. No excuses, just get too busy once work starts. Not going to be around for long if I don't start getting serious about this. Let see, pertinent details: Male, 52, Married, One Child, we all could use to loose a few lbs. Type 2 Diabetic, Sleep Apnea, Hypertension, Gout. Fun stuff.

Looking for some real accountability. Hope someone is out there who needs same.

Franklin

    Welcome Franklin!

    Those are all good reasons to get healthier - and the most important is that you want to feel good.

    Children are a great motivator - we all want to be around for them, but also show them good habits so they grow up healthy.

    Add me if you like. I'm not a perfect eater, and I haven't jumped back on the exercise wagon fiercely yet, but am slowly getting back into it.

    Hi Franklin, 49 yo M, married, 3 children, 1 grandchild. I also use a fitbit and this site for tracking my activity. Both of them have played a role in my success to date.

    I am about the the point where I am ready to add a little more and am planning on joining a gym soon to start my second phase. I am aiming to meet my goal sometime in January and then move into maintenance mode. I know when I hit maintenance I will continue to use this site while I adjust calories and learn where I need to be to maintain.

    Feel free to add me to your FL if you want. I log on every day and try to interact with everyone on my FL.
