My Name is David

Hello all! My name is David, I'm 58 yo happily married to my best friend and soulmate. We have a small poodle named Millie and 2 cats, Suzy is 13 pounds and she is the mother to Buddy her 18 pound son. I'm on disabilty at the moment due to various health issues. We live in a townhouse in Minnesota where my smart thermomater says it's 100.2 outside! (Yikes!) I'm back to My fitness pal because I like thier food catagories and keeping track of my calories, carbs, sodium etc. I finished up and graduated from Noom where I lost 102 pounds so now I'm at 413 and on the downside of this weightloss adventure. 300 pounds is finally in sight and that feels great. I'm open to talking to all ages and people. Just want to talk. If you're interested in just let me know. Hopefully I'll at you soon. Prayers and take care!

Hello and welcome! Also, congratulations on your excellent weight loss so far - kudos!

If you want to connect with others here, maybe consider joining one of the support, challenge or accountability threads here? That can be a great opportunity to get to know people here, and talk about challenges and strategies. Most of those are in the Motivation and Support or Challenges parts of the MFP Community, but there are a few in other sections, too.

Take a look at the threads, read intro posts there . . . I'll bet you can find one(s) with a vibe and structure that suits your style.

FWIW, I joined MFP at about the age you are now - 59, in my case. That was 2015-16. I'd been overweight to obese for around 30 years. I lost to a healthy weight in a bit under a year - I'd been just over the line into class 1 obese at the start. I've been in long term weight maintenance ever since, consistently at a healthy weight and in the same jeans size (same actual jeans, in some cases!). The quality of life improvement has been huge, not to mention health markers (blood tests, blood pressure, etc.) going from scary to solidly normal. It's worth the effort.

Best wishes!
