Introduction

[Northportman]

Hello all,

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Dave from Long Island, NY. I am 46 years old and around 55-60 pounds overweight. My cholesterol is up a tad as is my blood pressure. I hope to not only lose the weight, but nip these things in the bud too.

In my youth I was a body builder (natural, no steroids thank God) and in pretty good shape. Then marriage and the suburban life did me in!! At around 32 I got in shape again and lost 60 lbs and got into the best shape of my life, but did so with the help of ephedra which was legal at the time and on the shelves of GNC. I dieted on my own plan, but it resembled the protein power plan heavily. Now I just want to lose weight for health and plan on working out around 3-4 days a week in moderation.

So I will embark on my journey now. Hope to talk to many of you soon.

Dave
