I am a 45 yr old male, Married with two kids and a grandson at home. I am striving to loose weight and feel better about my physical appearance and my health. My goal is 225 lbs. If i can achieve that, and i believe that i will, I will be able to enjoy life with my family much better. I have not weighted that since my early 20's. After I reach my goal, I intend to continue watching my calorie intake and work harder at exercising and maintaining my weight. The hardest part about my program is that I love to cook......And taste test everything. Another learning curve.
