Just a hello.

I don't do these "self intros" too often, but figured being a new member of MFP, I'd go all out and check it out. Maybe get into the message board a little. Basic and quick version of this intro is I've been big my whole life pretty much and I finally started gaining info and better habits. This lead me to start losing weight. I used to be over 500 pounds, when I got serious about losing i was about 445 pounds. I've tried about everything on the market at the time, and i've heard a lot of this and that, and the other due to people feeding me info or my own research.

My last weigh in that was successful was 350 pounds, well due to life and uncontrolled situations, i've gotten back up to 450 (Talk about not feeling comfortable in your own skin). I've decided to grab the situation by the bull horns sorta speak and start heading in the right direction once again. (Me and stress don't get along at all.)

Too the creators of this site, I think what you've come up with a great site and tool, and I'm pleased to see that your offering a great site for no fees like so many other sites. Too many things that can benefit people have a price tag on it. And to all the users that are currently in the battle against weight, I personally want to cheer you on and remind you it is possible!! even during those darker times when it seems like a hopeless cause. Keep up with the good work, You'll beat this!
