I am a retired Male 61 yrs young. I ride a motorcycle, play golf, walk everyday at least 30-40 minutes in our local shopping mall. They open the mall at 7:30 am for all the "Mall Walkers" and there are quite a few!

I started getting into cooking after I retired and enjoy it very much. Its great to make something and have it taste good. I belong to a receipe club on the web, I get most of my receipe's from there.

I quit smoking 3 years ago and have put on some weight that I want to lose. I started using Fatsecret weighing 195 and after 3 weeks have managed to loose 4 pounds, my goal is to lose a pound each week.

I try to keep my daily calories around 1750, a little more on the weekends.
