Hi all!

My name is Patrick. I'm a 31 year old writer in Minnesota. I used to frequent this site but fell out of the habit a while back. Now I'm back and better than ever.

To sum up: In HS I weighed 360 pounds. at 27 I was 320. In September of 2013 I was 290. Now, at 31, I weigh 250. (You can see the basic progression in the pictures on my profile. I'm looking for motivation and support and community in my ultimate goal: losing a final 40 pounds and getting into the best shape of my life in advance of the Tough Mudder in July and a half-marathon in November. In exchange, I can give you tips and encouragement of my own, as someone who was 100+ pounds overweight for almost all of his adult life, and is now finally making the progress to be the person I want to be. I know how important community is for sustaining these kinds of efforts. No one is an island, no matter how much he thinks he is.
