Hello all

quaddadmc

Hi everyone, I am new to myfitnesspal and looking to make friends. I am interested in any advice or tips you have to lose the weight I have accumulated over the years.

I am 47 year old Navy vet that is a family man and father of 4 great kids. In all my years of married life and raising kids (and eating like I was one of them), grabbing fast food on the fly at lunch, restaurants or fattening food for dinner and eating in disregard of my weight or heath, I have acquired the middle age belly and I now working toward working it off pound by pound.

I am 5'11' and started last week at 225 lbs. My goal is to knock off the stubborn belly (which apparently all the fat cells in my belly have locked arms and are doing a sit in and are refusing to go) and other unwanted pounds. My goal is to lose atleast 50 pounds (good grief someone should have knocked that cheeseburger out of my hand years ago). My secondary goal is to get lean as I fight the fat loss battle.

I am always open to new ideas, suggestions or just friendly support (and I will return it too). I just wanted to say hi and hope to have you as a friend.
