Thanks everyone

I'm not actually over weight, no, but I'm not hard-bodied and I don't think I look like a trainer. I'm about 23% bodyfat, I think (I have calipers, I'm just not proficient at it.)

I think I'll do it eventually. My will power waxes and wanes, so its bound to come back strong again at some point if I continue looking for it. Getting to the 90%/10% rule is the aim; right now I'm at about 75%/25%.

To be honest, I think I could help some over weight people at the point I am now. I completely understand the struggle between wanting to enjoy meals and wanting to look perfect. I'll bet there's a relatively large market out there, in some places, of obese people who would connect better with a mentor wiho has a less-than-perfect body composition as well. I'm just not sure if I want to focus on over-weight people or just under-fit people; and I'm not sure I'm willing to bet all that with my living.
