Hi All,
Just wanted to introduce myself.
I'm 22 years old, 6'2" and 350lbs.
Obviously not a great picture of health.
My main issue seems to be that I live a largely sedentary lifestyle, I sit in an office on a computer all day, then follow suit when I get home, I'm working to change that. Over the past three years since I started my job, I have gained 100lbs, its starting to affect my personal life and my relationship with my beautiful girlfriend of 7 years. Hopefully with some hard work and encouragement I can turn my life around.
Thanks!

Thats a good idea, I'm actually going to be moving closer to the office soon, which will be within walking distance to and from work.0
