Finally Focused in Florida!

I finally started actually using my gym membership after a year of paying and not going. Was finally motivated last November after that realization and the process required to end my membership (30 days notice of paid membership; meaning either purposefully pay another month not to use or use a month and get used to it only for it to end =/).
Anyway, the irony is that now that I'm focused everyone around me has slacked off so I need to be able to reflect (and brag lol) with people consistently working out.
Weight Loss Background/Goal: I've lost 60lbs since 2007 which was weight put on in graduate school (walked across the stage in Oct
). The first 45 came off with reductions in sugar/portions/calories and 15 came since November (0-5 times per week depending on holidays/days off work lol). Looking forward to July when I am officially healthier at 35 than I was at 25 with a [flexible] goal to turn the clock back an additional 10yrs.
Looking forward to chatting with like-minded people!!!
