Hi Folks,
Just wanted to introduce myself.
I plan to take a 'sensible' approach to weight loss, i.e. no extreme dieting (I like food too much and know I won't keep it up if I don't get some of the foods I like - i just need less of them), do lots more exercise (on the approach to 40, I would like to get my fitness to a level that I can maintain for a good number of years, and try and feel ok about not wearing a t shirt on a beach!), and generally adopt an approach to life that will allow me to remain healthy for years to come. Easy, eh?!
Being slightly bashful (and male!), I don't feel comfortable discussing the detail of my weight loss (hopefully!) with friends and family, so I would like to rely on some support from what seems like a well informed and friendly community on MFP
Thanks in advance!

Hey man! Welcome!
Glad to see another guy on here, we're pretty much outnumbered by the ladies here, which of course, is always a good thing lol
