Introduction of a new member
I'm not quite sure how it happened. I think I am actually pretty nice - but I don't suffer fools gladly and I may have diplomacy issues.
Ha! That's my quote! St Paul from his second letter to the Corinth. "For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise."
My name is Paul BTW.

Diplomacy issues. I like it.
ISO ... New "clique" members. You must be kind, warm, welcoming, honest, intelligent, and have a sense of humor. The words "shamed" or "victim" can not be in your regular vocabulary. Sarcasm is welcome (and wanted!), but cruelty is not. You must not be a coddler or a shamer. All members are free to classify themselves as vets, newbies, grasshoppers or anything else they desire.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, puppies, sunsets and taking off my bra as I pull in the driveway. If you are like minded, you are in!
And remember, we are ALL worthy of love, humor, and dignity.
I started a new group here for my old BP friends and any new friends who have a sense of humor. Link to join:

Glad to hear it! Here is some motivation for you, 245lbs x5 deadlift , 180lbs bench, and 200lbs 3x5 squats. All new PR's in the last week. It's hard on our limited caloric intake and having to take a few steps backwards to correct form, but is all worth it.

Hi BigViffer
Welcome to OH
There is a reason the rear view mirror is so small and the windshield is so big, "DON'T LOOK BACK UNLESS YOU ARE HEADED THERE" and I think we all should live by those words. My DH was a wise man
We welcome your input and joining our community. We are like a family, we give hugs and kicks in the butt and fight from time to time 
. Weight training was my godsend when I lost my weight and hit goal. Maybe you can help others out with some suggestions and share your journey.
Regards,
Kathy
