New and Looking for Some Fellow Travelers!

Options
Hi everyone! I have only been at this 5 days and have already lost 3 lbs. I am so PUMPED about it! My wife is pregnant and I grew up in an overweight home. I know how the habits and physical condition of my parents spoke so much louder than their health "advice". I ate like they ate, not like they said I should eat. And now I look like they look. Not like they say I should look. lol! I do not want my daughter to grow up with a "fatty father". I want to be the greatest example to her in every way! 3 lbs down and 75 to go!

If anyone wants to be my friend on this journey please add me... Thanks!:bigsmile:

    Congratulations on your addition to your family!! :flowerforyou: Congratulations on wanting to be a great role model... :flowerforyou: That IS important (having grown up with depression era parents and a Mom that cooked for thrashers up until she couldn't cook anymore) to set a good example in all aspects of our lives for our children. :bigsmile: Good luck in your journey to your new and healthier lifestyle. :flowerforyou:
