Greetings all,

My name is Mike I am 37 years old and currently at 245 pounds and am looking to lose it. I started at close to 300 and was always sleepy and trying to lose weight.

I am constantly on the road and driving from Jacksonville to Savannah, Tallahassee, Lake City, Gainesville, Moultrie and all places in between. I work on my feet about half the day and on the road about the other half. I do not have what you may call a 9 to 5 job, so sometimes I am having to sacrifice a healthy meal to make sure things get done. I am looking for ways to get a healthier lifestyle.

    Hey - I'm in your neck of the woods - Jacksonville. :)

    I know what its like being on the road all the time. I've been just modifying my meals at fast food joints (no cheese no mayo... salad side vs. fries) seems to help. :)

    Good luck!!

    Welcome! I have travel job as well, not quite as demanding as yours sounds, but close...I also live in Florida (near Tampa) and so much of the lifestyle here involves being outside so much you feel like you have no choice but to look good...this is a great place for the support you need and the tools you have to have to be successful in the long run...good luck!

    Hey everyone. Thought I'd say hi and I wish you all the best of luck.

    I have stumbled across this website from an iPhone app and I am impressed! I have had a fracture foot for 4.5 months and I can't exercise and it's driving me nuts. So the fact walking on crutches is an option I can use for my exercise log is really useful! What a cool website this is!!!!!

    Cheers,
