Talking New kid on the block

Hello All,

I just wanted to introduce myself. But first I'd like to say that I am so glad I found this board. It's truley excellent. All the success stories are very motivating. Well, instead of boreing everyone with all my long drawn out "Day in the Life of a Fatboy Stories" I think I'll just keep my intro short by stating a few facts about myself.

1. I currenty weigh 315lbs packed on a 5ft 11inch frame
2. My goal weight is 195lbs
3. After reaching my 1st goal weight I want to add on 25lbs of muscle (215lbs)
4. I'll do all I can to learn from and contribute to this online community

I look forward to reaching my goals and watching other members do the same.

God Bless America (we need it)
Big Ike
