Hello all,

checking in from Naples, Florida (in the southwest side of the state across from Miami). It's time for me to lose some weight and get in shape. :bigsmile:

Goals: lose 60 lbs of fat (or get to 12% bodyfat or less -- i dont have an exact number on pounds of fat in me, but its too many)

Goals 2: make exercise an integral part of my life to maintain weight loss.

Benefits: a faster car (60 lbs can translate to 0.1 seconds in a drag race, which i occasionally do) and who doesn't want to look good? :blushing:

    Welcome & Goodluck. :happy: I'm sure this site will be great help to you! I've been using it for two weeks and dropped a good few pounds already.
    I'm also in Florida not far from Orlando. I'm not a native though. I'm a Brit :tongue:
    All the best!
