Expanding My Circle of Friends (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada)

Chris_Mogensen

Hi All,

I'm very new to myfitnesspal, having joined in January 2015 after getting a Garmin Vivosmart and finding the app for my Android phone, but not new to struggling with weight loss.

I'm a college professor (computer sciences), father of five (four still at home), in a wonderful relationship. I've been battling my weight since my mid 20's, and always been a "large man". I hit 410 lbs. and decided to do something about it. Started a Paleo diet and exercise and lost 120 lbs in a year...and then had a heart attack. I ended up recovering and gained a lot of the weight back. A year later, I started at 390 lbs. in January. I'm back on Paleo diet, bought my Vivosmart and I'm beginning to resume exercise.

When I first started my journey, I had a blog I wrote in daily, Chris Mogensen's Wellness Journal that I'm looking at getting back into.

I'm posting this to introduce myself to the community and hoping to expand my circle of friends. I can offer encouragement to anyone who feels they are struggling like I have!
