Twenty years ago I was in really good shape...

Hi,

i joined several days ago via the Android app and wasn't aware of all of this on the web site.

So, introduction...

I'm 39 for another 6 months. And this seems like a good time for some reflection on how life is going. It's odd to be "almost 40"... 40 is "old" right? It seems like just yesterday that I was 20. Pretty much everything is going great in my life. I have a job that I love. I have a great wife (for 18 years). I have 3 great kids. I've got an education. I've given up all of my vices (drinking, smoking, etc.)

But I've neglected my health and now have more than 100# to lose to get back to where I want to be and address some health issues that have been creeping up - so that I can really enjoy everything. Since it's a new year - and I'm definitely someone who does resolutions (every year, and historically reasonably successfully) - here I am sharing one of the most common resolutions, to lose weight.

When I am not working, I enjoy playing beach volleyball, reading, science fiction and taking online technology courses (codecademy, coursera, conference videos, etc.)

I have faith that this will work - but support is nice too. Feel free to add me - and I'll add you back.
