in Introduce Yourself
Hi I'm a 32yr old male who was living comfortably and getting fat. I felt I didn't have time to exercise. I'm a minister, I work full time, I have two young kids and a wife. Who has time to work out. Well my wife and my brother challenged me and my wife downloaded this app for me. Best app ever, by the way. I'm now 233/234lbs and still on a mission to get below 220. I'd really like to be at 200lbs. I started out at 243! Thanks to this app, I've taken more responsibility and purposed to stay below my 2000 calories and exercise more. Thanks a lot and hopefully this motivates the busiest of us all!

    All I hear are excuses.. we are all in the same boat. find 1 hour to go for a walk with your kids.
    Buy Shawn T Insanity and do it for 30min.
    You do not need 8 hours of sleep..
    What ever work you can't finish during the week you have the weekends.

    Maybe you didn't hear me. I've dropped ten pounds already. I don't need excuses or insanity. Motivated and dedicated.

    You and I have the same goal. I'm 239 and I want to get below 220 and then get to 200lbs. We can do this!
