Allen from WV

I need accountability people. I would like to lose 40-50 lbs but still be strong and lean. Not skinny! I'm 39 years old and can feel/see the metabolism slowing down. I am 5'8" and weigh 220. I am fairly broad through the shoulders and that helps some, but to be real, I am at an unhealthy weight and don't feel very good about myself. Anyone want to friend me for motivation/support? I'm honest and open.
