Default A Fat Chick-O?

I'm not sure if being a male member here makes me a "Chick-O" or not, but either way I'm excited to be a part of this community. I'm a 39-year old father of two beautiful little girls, and I've made it my primary goal to become a healthy daddy by the time I turn 40.

I've struggled with weight issues since my teens, but have never been successful in any attempts to lose the unwanted weight. Honestly though, I would usually give up fairly quickly if I wasn't seeing the results on the scale I was hoping for. By reading some of the great stuff on this site, I've already educated myself in a way that gives me great hope of not giving up so easily this time around.

As of today, I've been going for 4 weeks, which is longer that I would normally have hung in there, and I actually feel great. I'm doing the Ketogenic Diet, and this diet seems to suit me better than anything else I've tried.

Okay, enough blabbering from me.

Welcome Dane!

Be sure to check out the Men's Corner but just know that we chicks invade that space too!

There are some great people on this site and you are sure to receive the motivation and support you need. I couldn't have lost all the weight that I have since last July without the wonderful people here cheering me on and keeping me on my path to success.

I wish you a lot of luck and hope to see you post often!
