Hello From South Carolina

Ozzzy66

I'm a 34 year old dad starting a second weight loss journey. When I was in my early 20's I went from 270lbs down to 169lbs. After a year of lifting I got back up to 186lbs with a 32" waist at 5' 9". In this same year I got married to a wonderful woman and moved out of the city to the country. Over the next 10 years I gained weight at about 10lbs a year and topped out at around 285lbs at the begining of this year. I lost 20lbs pretty easy but then stalled. I found MFP about a month ago and have lost another 18lbs. I hope to get down to under 200lbs and then see where I am at. That's my story, wish me luck on my second walk down this path.

Hello! Good job with all your success and your marriage! My boyfriend and I live together (you kinda have to in nz as the house prices are astronomical and we are saving to buy one/get married) and he never gains an ounce. if food even knows im in the neighborhood i gain weight! I don't have any friends supporting me in this so i guess i'm messaging you to welcome you and also to say that no one can do it alone! (Trust me) so keep going and i hope you find encouragement here. i have to say i haven't really-butu then its only been recently that i've been more active. anyway-good luck!
