Just introducing myself

Hello all. I don't need any words of encouragement or the like, just saying "hi."

I recently had a physical that informed me that I should be looking to improve a lot of aspects of my life. I was high on BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides. Add to that I'm newly single, and "oila," a new gym member and calorie counter. I must admit, watching what I put into my body has made a huge difference. I was quite surprised how much cholesterol and salt I was consuming.

After my first month, I lost 10 pounds, 1" of each neck, waist, and thigh, and 1% body fat. I'm now addicted to the workouts, and feel uneasy when I don't at least get a cardio on. I weight lift 3 days a week and do 40-60 minutes cardio 3-6 days a week.

I'm fine with working out alone, but wouldn't mind having a workout buddy in the Beaverton, OR area. All the better if it were someone at the Cedar Hills LA Fitness.

    First time forum poster and long time dieter. I'm almost 40 years old and finally ready, I think, to get this **** until control. I'm hoping to get some support and hopefully encourage others. Not sure what I'm doing, or how to get motivated, But I know it's time to get serious about it.
