Hello All,
I'm new here at this site and looking forward this new approach for weight loss/management. I'm looking to lose about 35-40lbs. I'm a 41 year old city girl who is desk bound 9 hours a day and has a pretty active social life. Although I'm pretty knowledgeable about what I should be eating, it has been hard for me to keep on-track. I find it hard to make time for excercise, prepare healthy meals and find cooking somewhat of a bore. Plus, my significant other loves to dine out and/or eat often which proves quite irresistable for me. Apparently, I'm a "Team Player" eater. Would love to find other like-minded members to help each other in our weight loss goals.

2. Name you prefer to be called in discussions: Boogie or Jason
3. Age & Sex: 29/M
4. General Location: General Seattle area; live in Snoqualmie, work in Bellevue.
5. Married? Single? Married
6. Kids? Furbabies? Not yet.
7. Favorite color? I always say green is my favorite color, but I’m a die hard Seahawks fan, so almost anything I buy from my clothes, jackets, beer steins, shot glasses, home office décor is Seahawks related, so I own a lot of blue stuff. I even picked out a blue close to the team color when I bought my truck.
8. Favorite movie? I’m a big movie fan, so it’s hard for me to pick just one. I love the all the movies that are normally listed here, Godfather I & II, Braveheart, Scarface, and so-on. The only two non-Seahawk related items on my office wall are framed movie posters of Swingers and Old School, so I would have to say those too. With Halloween around the corner, I suppose I can list a favorite horror movie, or two. I still get creeped out when I watch The Exorcist, and while less scary, I’ve always been a fan of the Nightmare on Elm St. series.
9. Hobbies? I enjoy reading, and besides the Seahawks, I enjoy watching all kinds of sports, pro & college. I also enjoy the outdoors, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, and snow skiing.
10. Favorite Snack? Jelly Belly’s
11. Favorite Beverage? Beer: Mac and Jac’s, mixed drink: gin & tonic, wine: Syrah, non-alcoholic: coffee in the AM, Diet Coke in the PM.
12. Biggest Obstacle to Getting Healthy? Being disciplined with my eating habits. My wife is lucky enough to have the metabolism that allows her to stay thin and keep a steady weight year-after-year without any special effort on her part at all. I’m the exact opposite, if I don’t watch what I eat, I balloon up really fast. I’m not the type of person that gets cravings, I don’t sit in front of the TV wishing I had a bowl of Doritos, but, if I do have a bowl of Doritos, I’ll eat them no problem. So, as long as I don’t have the bad food in the house, I find it easy to eat healthy. While my wife enjoys healthy eating habits too, she does like the occasional unhealthy snack, and again she can enjoy them without consequence. It would be unfair of me to demand that she not have any snacks in our house just because I don’t have the discipline to not eat them. While my wife supports my dieting, she isn’t going to nag me or act like my mother if I grab a handful of cookies from the jar, so it’s entirely up to me to have the will power not to eat the snack foods in the house.
13. Weight/Fitness Goal? I’m looking to drop about 40 – 45 pounds, and most importantly, keep it off.
14. Least Favorite Household Chore? Cleaning the bathroom.
15. How did you find Calorie Count? Google search for a calorie counter.
16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? I’m at work right now, so I should probably quite the sharing for now, and get back to work. But I look forward to being a part of this community, and I’ll be happy to share more in the future.
OKay, I'll need big help to get through my weight loss journey. I have yo-yo'd between 436 and 370 since 2000. I once weighed 200 but I will accept 245. I am open to suggestions. So far, I'm impressed with this site!

16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? I'm in the military and obviously we're required to stay in shape. I just got back from a 16 month deployment to Iraq, and over there had lots of time to go to the gym, which I did, and packed on a good amount of muscle and got nicely toned. Then I went on 30 days of leave...and didn't exercise at all. So all my hard work faded away. Now I'm just trying to turn all that 'fluff' back into some tone muscle!! My work schedule isn't set, so my gym time has to vary every day, which is hard to commit to. I'm not big on going to the gym by myself, and there's not a lot of motivated people out here, so that's hard as well. Anyone with tips please reply!!
