    Hi I'm Tom! I'm a 22 year old father from South Wales. I'm trying to regain the confidence I lost through weight gain and am targeting a 100lb wait loss come 2016

    hi there, I know what you mean about being a busy parent...that's the same reason I rejoined this site. I'm a new mom and I just don't have time to work out at the gym right now after putting in at least 8 hours of work at the office and being a full time mommy and its too cold here to go on walks with the baby so I'm stuck. Its also difficult to eat well like I used to before baby...time is everything to me right now so if I don't take time to prepare a healthy meal for us on the weekends to last throughout the week...then it doesn't happen and I tend to make poor food choices in a pinch. I'm looking for new friends/support group on here...can we support and encourage each other?

    Hi! I'm with you on the busy parent! Time to get ourselves back on track and feeling and looking gret again! You can do this! A little bit day by day :)

    Hi! Sounds like you have a goal - my next step would be a plan.. maybe 20 pushups a day with additional each month. That's similar to what I've done and have seen results.
    - Good luck man!
