Hello Everyone,

Im joining the board with the hope of getting myself back in shape. Im a former athelete who has ballooned to 430 pounds, and I need to lose at least 100-150 pounds. I know I didnt get this fat overnight, and Im not going to get healthy overnight, but I want to start making concrete gains in the right direction. I have a wife and a wonderful daughter, and I want to handle this issue before it severely impacts my health for the long term.

    Take it 20 lbs at a time. It's alot to think of losing 100-150 lbs. I'm in the same boat. I need to lose 100 lbs. 40 lbs down and worki g on my next 20! You can do it, for yourself and your family!
