Hello,

Im gonna start this off by saying, I have been very lazy for years now. Im married now for 9 yrs and have gained an easy 100lbs.

The weight gain was done gradually and untill recently it was something I didnt pay much attention to. My wife made me look at myself and realize I need to change, so Im gonna begin on 06/26/06. Im preparing everything I need to make sure that all goes well...

Im asking for help though... I dont know a whole lot about this thing so I will be asking for lots of help from this community. I will write a journal to chart my progress and try so hard to lose this weight once and for all.

My name is Ben, so if you have any ideas or suggestions please send em my way...

I thank you in advance for all your help and support.

Ben.

Welcome to FT Ben. You've joined a great community with tons of support and knowlegable people! Spend the next couple of days going thru some of the threads and learn all you can about exercise and nutrition. Some of the more useful threads are thumbtacked at the top of the lists. A great starting point is the grocery list for healthy eating, found in the nutrition forum. Also, you can use the Fitbuddy search tool to find answers to many of your questions. The fitness programs are also great, so check those out as well.

Good Luck!
