My name is Todd, I'm a GOADie from way back, until we lost our board when WW switched it all up.
I lost about 100 lbs on WW back then. I was on on line only. I kept the weight off for quite a while, mostly by running a lot. Then a couple of injuries took that away and of course I ate too much and gained a good 60 of it back. Now I'm tracking and all that via MFP and have lost about 11 lbs this year.
Anyway, I love the GOAD forum, but it isn't super active, so I was hoping to join this one as well. I need the support to keep my eye on the ball.
Couple more get to know you things. I live in Ann Arbor and recently retired after 35 years in automotive (GM and Ford). I'm doing most of the cooking now, since my wife is still gainfully employed (teacher, doing face to face).

Welcome Todd, we migrated over from the WW boards when they closed down too. While all of us are trying to lose or keep the weight off we talk about all kind of things.0

I remember you! But I don't remember that you live so close (I'm in Zeeland). Welcome to BBB, and congrats on your progress toward your goal!

Welcome,
I lost my weight in 2009, it gradually came back after 2011 with some health issues.
Have lost 15 pounds so far this year.
I do not discuss weight much but am working back toward goal.
I spent 22 years as an automotive controller along with some entities then went to work for local government.
You may remember me as Sam I am
Glad to have you join us0 -
Hi Todd
I'm Mary, from Wisconsin, am a past Goadie /BBB poster from old WWW boards, as well.
Welcome to the BBB, this is a great group here. No drama here! We are supportive to one another, we've gotten to know the ins/outs of each others lives and are like family. Many of us have met in real life. And I hope to continue to, when it works out.
We check in daily, in the morning under the days Cup of Joe thread.
I'm tracking here and trying to lose weight.
Good to meet you.0 -
Welcome Todd

Welcome Todd! I believe I remember you Newmantjn as a GoaDie from way back. I am in same boat as you with gaining weight back due to some health issues, sadly I am not retired yet (I'm looking forward to that).0

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. @Authenticity3, I remember you from Goad as well. I think you were on TV a lot back in the day. @mcee1; I'm originally from Door County and still have Packer Season Tickets - passed down since 1961. @manladdvm - yes, same name. It's my last name followed my all my initials. Nobody else ever has it for some odd reason...0
