Just saying HI.

Grandpagriz

I'm not one to do this sort of thing and if you should try to write back to me, it may be sometime before I get back to you. I've been on here for awhile now about 2 1/2 years, in that time I have try to get friends and family to join, but I guess they're not interested. I'm a loner so I don't have many fiends and my family don't live near by and they're busy with their own lives I take it. So I've been pretty much doing this whole weight loss thing pretty much on my own. Don't miss understand my family and friends they are happy that I'm losing the weight. But to make a long boring story short. When I started 2 years ago this past October I weigh 572lbs and had to use a walker just to get around. I had 2/3 of my stomach remove 2 years ago this coming May. At my last check-in which was 5 months ago I've lost a total of 248lbs. And now at this time I walk with just a cane, but I'm waking close to10,000 steps a day! The toughest part for me about this journey of mine is to remember on how much I have to not rely on other people to help me to do this. That it was me that did this to myself and it will have to be me to succeed at reaching my golds on my own. Griz - This is what my friends call me.

You look amazing. Well done. If you want a friend you can add me Griz. I've been on here for 2.5yrs as well but didn't have much to lose.

Hi Griz. I am new on here and would love to hear more of your journey. I am having trouble staying motivated since I am on this journey alone. My doctor has given me 6 weeks to get show that I can do this. I would love to hear from you!
