Hello from Toledo, Ohio. I am 5’-10” tall, and weigh 285 pounds. My goal is to lose 100+ pounds, and keep the decent build I have underneath the fat layers! I played hockey at a highly competitive level for many years and wish to return to “playing weight”. At 185, I was cut and pretty well defined. I have three young children that keep me very busy, but I am determined to make the time, pay the dues so to speak, and finally start and commit to a healthy lifestyle! I am glad to have stumbled on to this community, and look forward to learning new useful information, getting support, and hopefully sharing my “success story” and amazing pictures with everyone here like the ones I could not stop reading and looking at in the before and after photo section. Some of those transformations are incredible and truly inspiring!!
 
Matt:
Thanks. I plan on taking a photo every four weeks and posting them to show my progress! Hopefully, that pressure will keep me motivated. Are there a lot of "sales links", or spam in this forum? The very first message to me was from a "G.D." diet pill company pretending to to be an individual! :mad:
 
hey gl on your weight loss, hockey is honestly one of the best ways to lose weight cardio wise........ its alot funner than running on the treadmill!
 
Thanks. I'd love to play everyday, actually dyin' to hit up a few "drop ins", but that whole... work for a living thing gets in the way. Four local rinks around me and all of them have drop ins while most people are at work. Ice times where always screwed up!
 
I have family in West Chester. Great hills for a bike workout... If your an adrenalene junkie!! Keep up the good work. I posted a comment to your "thread".
 
Anxious to share/show them...once I have them. I'm just getting moving well in my routine, so once I have some decient "in-betweens" I will post them with the "befores". Might do the diary thing as well????
 
Welcome, welcome, welcome!
I've noticed that the weight-loss diary's(or journals if you prefer) help keep the day-to-day motivation up a bit more. saw you were planning on doing photos too, you are braver than me! I'm too chicken to post mine. :blush5:
Good luck on your weight loss! I'll keep an eye out for your journal if you decide to start one.
Best of luck!!!
 
Journal... much more manly! Anyway, thanks for the "good luck". I will most likely start one in a week or two. Lot's going on for a few. As for posting or not posting pictures, if the picture on your homepage is you, I don't see why it would be an act of bravery. Again, thanks.
 
Hello, I live in Ohio too. Seems there's alot of us lately on the forum, lol. Just thought I'd come by and say hi. And hope you do decide to start a journal. It's a great place to keep track obviously but it also works as sort of a homebase for us all to come by and cheer you on :) Welcome to the forum ~Lisa
