Hello everyone, I am new here....Total of three minutes now. I am a forum junkie, but mostly related to scuba and cave diving. A friend of mine who lives in Washington State has inspired me to make a long-term commitment and goal to reaching a point of overall health fitness, conditioning and skill sets to come visit her area.

Sadly, I'm 42 years old, out of shape and quite a few pounds overweight. As humiliating as it is, it is what it is. The scales yells one foot at a time please, the feet cries for mercy and the wallet cringes with the thought of yet another expensive hobby.

I am a 25 year career Paramedic. Have hobbies in scale model railroading, photography and scuba and cave diving. The efforts to achieve this goal will be very enduring, but I hope to overcome those challenges which lay ahead.

Anyway, I wanted to step in and say hello. In time, there obviously will be many questions, but for now I will dwell in the search feature and try to gain as much knowledge as I can.

Thanks for allowing me into your forum,

Kenny Taylor
