Hi Group - its me, Frank!

Hi Group. Tired, and ready for bed but thought I would introduce myself. I am hoping for an active group to support each other, this is the first time in my life I am taking this weight loss thing seriously, I grew up a skinny kid, never had many dates, put on the pounds, and the girls started coming. I have always viewed the pounds as a positive thing mentally, until they got away from me. I am now about 70 pounds over weight, and last year was diagnosed with Colon Cancer Stage 2.9 (I will explain that later LOL). I just finished Chemo in July, and am back playing hockey with my friends. I am much slower and weaker now, but I hope to lose some weight and get back in shape. I am counting calories for now, and staying as much as possible under the recommended for 1 pound a week. So far I have kept it up for 7 days now, and I usually get tired of stuff that is new and a little bit of work to maintain. . I am hoping you all will share your story and let's all be online friends and keep me coming back here. I need this, and you can help! I will also help be supportive as much as I can. thats all, good nigth!
