Hi All
My name is Ian, I've had a rough couple of years with regards to family death's and betrayals and generally a tough time, and given that I'm the emotional type eater plus not having the energy or time to think about myself. It's meant I'm now 240lbs ... I'm aiming to lose 35lbs by Christmas ... thats my realistic target but of course I'd love to lose it quicker!
And so my fight back starts here ...
I'm brand new to this app and this type of community so not sure what writing this will achieve

You can add me as a friend if you wish. Friends can view logs and comment on progress (and generally return messages).
35 lbs should definitely be doable, but don't think it will be easy.
Welcome.
