Been using the program on my droid for a few months. Never knew there was a forum. Awesome!! Anyway, new guy here, turning 53 next month. Was 290 in January, (heaviest weight, 300) Was in great shape 20 years ago and have always struggled w/ my weight. Decided to do a real new years resolution. started eating right and working out at home, logging in here daily which has helped me tremendously keep tabs on food, exercise and progress. I actually measure portions w/ a scale so I know exactly what my intake is. Very helpful for weight loss. Then about 3 weeks ago I decided it was time to get back in the gym. I joined Planet Fitness. Let me tell you for 10 bux a month you can't beat this place. It's been great. 1 hour cardio a day and weights every other. I'm down to 252 currently and my goal is to be under 200. So I want to lose a total of 100 lbs. I'm feeling much better physically and really enjoying watching the changes and progress.

Look forward to participating here:smile:

    Just don't get sucked into any threads about "cleanses" or "I'm in a wedding ..... how can I lose 50 pounds in 50 days?"

    Unless you have a bowl of popcorn in front of you :laugh:
