Default Newbie Saying Hi
Hi everyone. My name is Dan. I hope that it is alright if I join you here on this site? I have been lurking for a while and finally decided to join.
I am a 36 year-old married father of two who has battled his weight most of his life. While my weight does not prevent me from leading an active, enjoyable life, I am not happy with the way I look and feel and am ready to do something about it.

I started a diet on Monday, September 14, 2009 so I am just starting day six. I’m off to a pretty good start so far. I have been very good all week and have to the gym every day for some cardio work. Overall, I am feeling pretty good.

I’m looking to meet people here with similar weight lose goals (either actively working towards or having achieved them). I’m looking for some support and guidance as I embark on my weight loss journey. I am a very friend, open person, so please feel free to drop on by to say hi or ask me anything you want.

Current stats:
Height – 5 foot, ten inches
Current Weight – 251 lbs
Ideal Weight – 165 lbs – 175 lbs
Waist – 44 / 46

Good morning Dan and welcome.

Have you found some men here? We have quite a few.

Tell us about your plan and we'll point you toward some threads where you'll feel right at home.

Welcome Dan, this board is a fountain of information and wonderful people. And might I say you're a very brave man to come into a high estrogren zone, it would be nice if there were more men who felt as comfortable. It's always nice to have a different gender perspective and look forward to seeing you about the boards.

I'm glad to hear that there are other men here (lol). As for my plan, I started doingthe WW points plan last Monday. My plan is to exercise 4x -5x a week (mostly cardio). I have no unrealistic timetable for my weight loss (It takes as long as it takes). I'm looking at this as a lifestyle change rather than a diet.
