Hi all. I just joined this site yesterday and think it's fantastic.



Now about me. I'm Dave, 38, married for 14 years with one son. I'm a proofreader and also have a blog that I update when the situation warrants.



My goal is to lose a good 50 lbs. by the end of July. I know it sounds a big lofty but I think I can do it. I've been lifting weights nightly for about a month and taking the train to work forces me to get my walking in--about 30 minutes a day, including walking around the office.



This is not, however, my first battle with weight loss. I once lost nearly 100 lbs. in high school (proof can be seen here). But I got a little lazy over the years and here I am, trying to do it all over again.



Anyway, I hope to be here a while. Good luck to all of you! And I hope my old before-and-after picture serves and inspiration to reach your weight loss goal
