    My journey to health has been long, rewarding and painful. I’ve done all the hot spots like ww , medifas etc, ive loss more than 100 pounds at least three times, currently diabetic 64 year old who needs to apply self to one more lasting weight loss or probably suffer severe consequences, I’m in the male room to get other guys accountability and support. Too often like at w w it is all woman in a traditional beauty shop atmosphere. Married with great family. Family is my big why for being interested in improving my health. I hope to see some responses and get this conversation moving, thanks!

    It's not an easy journey as you well know. I'm in the same boat, but never shed 100+ That's quite an accomplishment that you should be proud of. Forget the past, that's history. I'm diabetic too, with heart issues as well. I'm pushing 76 now, and keep going. Broke my arm 3 months ago, which ceased all activity. Thank God I only gained 3 pounds in the last three months.

    Last week, however, I made it back to the gym and did that 4x last week! I am more proud of that now than losing the weight. Hope this helps and stay in touch.

    Thanks for your comment. Glad to hear your arm is healing and return to gym. Just got back from vacation and weight continues to respond to better eatting habits,

    Hi I am Rob. Lost 85 lbs here 8 years ago and have kept it off. Returned two days ago to start the journey to loose another 50. Single, professional guy originally from Florida but moved to Lexington, Kentucky 10 months ago to take a new job. Would love to make some new friends and accountability partners on here to help me stay motivated. MFP was always a big help last time. Going to the Y 4 days a week for cardio and strength training and seeing a nutritionist. Hope to hear back from you soon!
