Another new person.

Hello everyone.

My name is Von and obviously I just joined this site as per the title of this thread. I stumbled upon it through a search and took a peek around and decided to join. Currently, I weight 307 lbs that is mostly in my hips, which I know doesn't make a difference. For a male I have a "ghetto booty" which is somewhat annoying to me but women tend to like it. I don't know why. Hahaha. My goal is to lose 147 lbs, or atleast get to what is considered normal for a man of 25 years of age standing at 5 ft 9 inches.

Anyhow, recent events have driven to my new motivation of losing weight and I'm hoping this site can help. I apologize now for all the questions on top of questions I'll be bugging anyone of you with. You'll just have to get over it. :)

*Surgeons General Warning* Sarcasm aloof!

PS. I like to joke around a lot. Please don't take a lot of what I say to heart if it doesn't sound like what a intelligent person would say. I'm a nice guy, really.
