Hey gang, it's far past time I joined the adventure going on over here.

I'm 27, married, with a 3-year-old daughter. I blog at http://manvsdebt.com and currently am traveling around the U.S. in our RV. :-)

Here are my starting stats (4/2):

6'0"

232.7 lbs

32.7% bodyfat

43" around belly button

I have more stats w/ pics here (my personal fitness journal): http://manvsfat.com/stats-and-pictures/

My initial goal is 17.5% bodyfat and 200 lbs. I've never been near either since middle school likely.

If my math is right, that would put me at 165 pounds of lean - and 35 pounds of fat.

That's losing 41 pounds of fat and gaining 9 pounds of muscle from my current Bod Pod stats.

I'm doing the "Slow Carb" diet from 4HB and the Rebel Training workouts (strength w/ a bit of the fitness workouts mixed in on off days).

I look forward to helping you level up. In my day, not a single horde priest MT Healed better than me. (No for real, I was the best). ;-)

Sure Steve, I can volunteer *evil grin*

Baker, welcome to the rebellion. You have some good goals there. Good luck on the weight loss, and come and join the challenge when it starts this coming week. I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun

Howdy Baker, and Welcome to the Rebellion.

Look forward to seeing you in the Challenge.

Hey Baker!

Welcome aboard! First you read my mind with your Mark and Angie analogy, and now here you are stalking me too.

Looking forward to following your progress. Should you ever swing your RV up Canada-way I'd be happy to show you how we Canucks live.. and maybe pick your brain just a little bit while the kids play in the backyard..

Welcome! I've enjoyed reading your ManvsDebt. Though I tried making a list of all my posessions and stopped when I literally ran out of lead in my pencil. Oy.

Good luck to you! Do you have any fitness goals you want to accomplish? I've found that I do way better when I have concrete performance goals to work toward over "lose weight". There's so many factors and fluctuations with the second, it can get very frustrating!
