in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone, my name is David, and I live in western PA. I really want to get back in shape. I have a sit down job, and spend a lot of time driving in a car... besides that I've always had a challenge with keeping weight off. I don't know what else to say, besides I'll take all the tips and encouragement I can get. Thanks.

    There is so much new info out there online regarding sitting too much. Make sure you get up at least every hour and do something. When you get home, take a walk and make sure you get some resistance and strength training in. I don't live near a gym so we have free weights and many trails to walk/run. We also started a low carb, med protein, high fat diet recently and it is working. I don't get fatigued, I don't feel hungry and I am losing some weight I gained in the last couple years. Not sure what you mean about getting back in shape. For me it's just being fit and healthy, for my 35 yr old son, it's building muscle. Good luck!!
