Well I am an overweight male who is fast approaching middle age. I DONT want to be overweight when I hit it. All my life I have been a bigger person. Most of it was because of the work I used to do which was running a chainsaw for upwards of 10 to 14 hours a day cutting timber. Well I am still a big person but unfortunately being in the IT industry doesnt support the kind of body I had back in the logging days. I am still fairly active in that I play Ball Hockey, indoor soccer, and Flag Football in the summer but I am actively trying to do more things as well. Wii fit has been my friend and at least it helps keeping me off the couch and either using that or the eliptical in my living room.
