in Introduce Yourself
Well, I am back!!

I first used this app 11 yrs ago and was able to lose 105 lbs. A lot has happened since. Divorce. Renewed relationship with my kids. Two grandkids. Different job. Four surgeries. Eighty-five pounds put back on. Blood pressure and cholesterol meds.

My name is Jim and I am 47 yrs old. I work for the local school district in Oklahoma running the Alternative Ed and Virtual School programs for grades 6-8. I recently hung up coaching after being involved in athletics for 29 yrs. I have more free time now to take care of myself. I am working with my doctor to help me lose weight and we decided to do what worked the first time for me which is eliminating bread, pasta and rice, as well as using this app. I will do a combination of HIIT workouts and strength training, while walking 30-45 mins a day.

I am glad to be back in a community that is supportive. If you would like to support me, and I will support you as well, through here. Just add me.

Have a wonderful day.
