Hi all, my name is Dave, and was recently 50 years old. I held a party and several of the guests had not seen me for a while. Gone were the days of my long hair, 32 inch waist. My waist line is nearer 44 inches these days and people did remark on this.

I'd been thinking of a way to get back into the life style i used to have - walks, gym, dancing, and being more sociable and not such a couch potato.

I purchased a wii fit machine on Tuseday, and in the privacy of my front room took a body test that revealed that my BMI was 31.99 and weight was 257lbs or in English 18 stones and 5lbs or 116kgs. I did some light exercise and soon felt a buzz.

Then by accident I found an app on my phone on Friday, set it up, found this web site and now I'm all set.

My goal is that by Easter 2012 by weight will be around 200lbs.

This is the beginning................

    You can do this. I'm 54. Had my waking up moment a year and a half ago at 270 lb and the same waist size as you. I'm now 168 and still working on it. Hook up with the right people to motivate you and you'll get it done. Good for you for realizing you can turn it around if you want to.
