edited September 19 in Introduce Yourself
My name is Ron and I just want to introduce myself. I am going to be 25 yrs old next month and I need a change. And that change is to lose weight! I have started many times before to exercise and watch what I ate, but I was never sucessful. I am doing this for myself, I have to! If ever have kids, I want to be able to be healthy and keep up with my kids. I have always been a big guy, but I am just tired and I need to accomplish this lifelong goal. So I basically challenged myself last night to go thru with this or give up...And I am not going to be a quitter. This is a turning point in my life and I know it is not going to happen overnight, but I do believe that I will accomplish my goal in 1-2 years...

Any ideas or suggestions are certainly welcome...so bring them on!!!

Ron
