It's my birthday today. I have a wife and a 4 year old son. I sit most of the day at a computer. I feel like crap and look like crap and I'm going to change it.
Anybody want to friend me, feel free!

    I had my 40th birthday this summer, and I came to the same realization! I am finding success here. It's just the best. Please friend me if you would like, and we can continue to lose weight and get healthy at the same time!

    Was exactly where you are a few months ago, so I understand how birthdays can smack you on the back of the head as a wake up call. You can do this! Happy birthday and welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me if you'd like.

    I was exactly where you are at on my 40th birthday almost 1 year ago. I sit at a computer most of the day and needed a lot of work to be done. One year and 50 lbs later I feel great! I still have work to do but I'm getting there. If anyone wants to add me feel free. I have some great motivational friends to share with you.

    My 39th and 40th was great

    38th - Not so much. I had my 20 year reunion on that day and I saw the picture of me that kicked me in the head and said I knew I had to do something. That was when I started doing something about it.
