Decided it was time to get fit and get a body I'm proud of before it's too late. Also want to look in the mirror and think I look alright, makes me feel better inside. I'm getting to that age where the fat will be harder to shift if I don't do something soon, so the time is now. Have been a member of different gyms for a while (years) but never made much gains probably because I wasn't clued up about it all, but this site has so much useful info that it has been a big help to me already in defining a program for myself and controlling what I eat. All the members are so inspirational too.

Relaxes my mind after busy day at work and feel good for working hard towards something. Can't say I love it, it is hard work afterall, but hopefully worth it in the end. One reason that I love it is that it will give me a healthy body and will hopefully lead me to a longer life. There is a history of heart problems and cancer in my family so I want to have a healthy body to avoid or combat these.
