Well since i stopped playing football at 24 I've done nothing at all. I've since gained nearly 30 lbs and need to change my lifestyle. Tired of the bullsh.t like being out of breath and hoping my old clothes fit. I have my first kid on the way and I'm not going to die early. I need to be motivated and this website looks like a good way to do it.

I race vehicles competitively and getting in shape for that will be my motivation. Looks like a good place around here.

I completely understand where you're coming from. Since I finished playing college basketball and moved home and gotten married I'm starting to get soft...and I HATE it. I'm hoping this website has something to offer me cause I want to catch myself before I slip too far.

Welcome to FT, DB, hope you stick around, it helps to stay accountable to yourself and being on a site that is as informative as this one has helped me immensly!

Yeah I really need the support. In college you were always accountable to the team and staying in shape. Now I dont really have anything and getting caught up in the day to day grind of work and life its hard to work out.

Gotta be accountable though.
