Hello from a newbie

Hey everybody. I'm going to give this weight loss thing a try as part of a life style change.

I'm 36 male and have been inactive due to my addiction to video games and dare I say fast food delivery.

I'll make this short and sweet. I just want to get back into fairly good shape the way i was before being introduced to the digital heroin that is video games and the landslide that followed.

Any ideas I have that work for me I will happy to share.

Great site and great people from what i have read so far today.

Have an excellent day!

    thank you much for that link. I got rid of the cable last month and got myself a dog. I would rather watch TV at this point but with netflix I'm finding myself only watching TV just before going to bed now. I agree with you 100%, its just not worth watching anymore.

    nicely done. I'm all for some entertainment...but just like food, everything in moderation. On a related note, I'm a bit concerned about the next generation. I think my 8 year old is the only kid over the age of 6 who doesn't have a Nintendo DS growing from her fingers. Anyway, I'm sending you a friend request. Hopefully I can help encourage you along your journey.

    Thanks for the add friend! I feel your pain, I got so caught up with Mafia Wars. Easy to do, I had so many friends that played. Good luck, keep posting. :smile:
