New and Friend Hunting

I just started a week ago, as the Doctor pointed out what was starring me in the mirror. I have been overweight practically my whole life and now am going to change. I am 42, happily married, have an 8 month old son and have a sense of humor about most things. I have quite a way to go and am not looking at this as a diet, but as a life change. So I have begun, as has my wife, to go where this fat man has not gone before. So add me, or tell me to add you and I shall, and lets enjoy each others success and motivate each other to continue on and keep on setting (and reaching) new goals. Together we can do it !
