    Well my name is Larry, im 25 and im trying to lose weight and get in shape for myself and for my children. I got up to 341 lbs and have since started counting calories and working out at 4:50 every morning before i start work at 6. Im new to the app but am going to try and keep track of everything. Im currently 308 so I've lost 33 lbs, my goal is 225 by the time my kids get out for summer break so wish me luck. Hope everyone has a great day

      So I'm around 6 months or so into my journey and wanted to update my post. I started out at 341 lbs and have since lost 102 lbs and am at 239 lbs right now. My original goal was 225 by the end of May and now I know I can definitely achieve that. My new goal is about 190 and I'm not trying to hit it by a deadline this time, just taking it a day at a time and loving the journey and progress so far. Anyone can feel free to add me
