in Introduce Yourself
Well i downloaded the app on my black berry after my doctor asked me about how many cals am i taking in a day and i had no idea. I didn't know that this had a website and everything to go with it. My name is Shaun and i am 6' tall i played football and basketball my whole life then i got older and didn't play as much but i eat as if i was still playing! I am currently 289 pounds and i want to get back down to 220 which is perfect for me since i am still kind of built just a lot of fat around my muscles..lol My diet sucks since i have a wife that cooks good and doesn't look at labels much. I just had her join the site lastnight so lets see if that changes..lol I have a 20 month old daughter and i want to get into better shape so i can run with her and play with her as she gets older. I am also into car i have a 69 chevelle SS that i am restoring goal is to have the car out by june 1st and have 20 pounds down by june 1st :) well that's a little about me thanks for the site!!

    The good news is she's a good cook. I'm sure she'll find all kinds of ways to cut the calories down and keep the taste in. ;0)

    Good luck and stay determined

    Welcome! This is truly a great site because it allows you to educate yourself on how many calories, fat, etc you are taking in plus its free. Its so liberating to be able to make healthier food choices when you have a great tool like MFP. Good Luck
