Family man looking to get in shape

So I am a newfie born and bred, for the US ppl newfies are from NL canada and our accents are usually mistaken for irish or australians lol. Anyhow My wife inspired me to get back in shape by dropping over 40 pounds dieting and exercising so I also decided that it was a good time to drop some weight and get my cardio back up to par. I started out at 195 pounds and am down to 183 now. It feels darn good to lose the weight and with our young son being 2 and an energizer bunny its a lot easier to keep pace with him now. Being 5ft8" tall 195 pounds was a lil on the heavier side for me, so I hope to reach 165 lbs my high school grad weight, if I hit that I will be happy. Great site by the way guys, I got some good recipe ideas off here.

This is a great place to help you stay motivated. 2 years ago I started at 203 and got down to 172. After my daughter was born I let my weight slip and I've been working on getting it back down. Good luck with you life style change!0
