Hi everyone, this is my first post here, I just wanted to say what a great site this is. Everyone seems very helpful here.
Just a quick background on myself, I'm 29 years old and I'm ready to start taking fitness seriously. I live in New Orleans, and after Hurricane Katrina I let my weight get out of hand, I'm 5'9 and my weight shot up to about 320 lbs. I did nothing but sit around and play online video games all day and eating horrible Chinese food, I was truly miserable. Back in January I decided it's time for change, I started dieting and occasionally exercising. I'm now down to 257 lbs and feeling much better about myself now.
My goal weight is to be a fit 200 lbs so I still have a ways to go. I recently joined a full service gym and have been going every day, weight training and running mostly. I have some questions about my workout regiment and my diet that I'll post in the appropriate forums. I look forward to hearing from ya'll!
