edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hello, all!

I just thought I'd pop in and introduce myself. I'm not -overweight- (within healthy weight range but towards the top. I want to be at the bottom and/or turn my 'beer belly' into muscle and tone up a bit) but I figured it was time for me to begin eating healthier and this is a cost-effective way to do just that!

I really like the idea behind this site and with eating healthy, support from everyone else and exercise I hope to be able to lose the two pounds a week until I lose 25 pounds!

My name is Darren, I'm a 21 year old male in Naples, Florida :D. In my default picture I'm the guy in the very back w/ some friends.

I'd like to be able to participate in some conversations here and support others while I'm being supported - I've always heard it was easier to diet and exercise if you're doing it with someone else so I hope to be able to do it with all of you! :D

    You're all so nice! Thanks for the warm welcome!

    Eating only 1240 calories a day is going to be hard! Especially cause I don't like many vegetables and I'm just now forcing myself to like salads (the only salad I've really loved is Olive Gardens House salad mm!).
