Hello I'm Tim and I'm an expert at falling off and getting back on the wagon. I figure I should try something new and participate in the community. Maybe give and receive some encouragement. So here I am don't hesitate to contact or friend me.

    A quick bio and "excuse" as to why I'm here:
    I used this app last about a year ago to get down to the lightest and fittest I've been since starting college in 2003-04. 184lbs at 5'9," good to great muscle tone and 4 waist inches down I was feeling great.

    In July, I cut my finger on my left hand requiring two surgeries over two months to fix plus rehab I still go to. I was finally cleared for physical activity (prior to I was even advised against running) around Thanksgiving. Who in their right mind can start a routine to be healthy around the holidays? I give those who can a bunch of credit.

    Thanksgiving and 30 parties later, here I am today, 199lbs and 6 lbs away from my heaviest I've ever been. Clothes are tight, chin in pictures is fairly large, and I all around hate myself for eating and drinking my feelings for 6 months. Seeing as I've done this totally alone in the past and have the ability of counting foods and maintaining a regular workout, I know a lot of how hard this will be.

    I'm looking for a few people who want to push me and be pushed back that kind of know what's going on. I will offer up guidance and recipes that are pretty healthy and good (I'm a good amateur chef and know how to healthify stuff). Let's swap fun workouts. I want to be 178 lbs in 6 months and want to reach that goal with your help and while helping you.

    Give me a shout - we can exchange easier info to communicate if we're good matches. Looking forward to the challenge.

    I too am an expert at falling off wagons. But I am determined to be the best version of me I can be. Let's beat this as a community!

    Great quote! Yes I'm determined too! Tired of making progress and losing it we can do it!

    Me too! I feel like I have tried every diet and I have never reached goal. I feel really good about where I am at in life right now and I like simply using MFP to count calories and exercise so I am planning on this being my final attempt!!!
