Hi all,

My name is Greg and am 47 years old. I am a single father of 3 wonderful children.; The youngest two are still at home. My oldest just told me I will be a grandpa in June.

I started my fitness journey in the middle of september. I joined MFP about awhile back, but have not posted on here until now. My starting weight was 391 and have now lost 44 lbs so far.

I started walking everyday and just bought a gym membership last week. I have also just recently quit smoking (28 days) and starting to actually notice a difference in my ability to excersize.

I am glad there are groups like this that we can join, where we can support each other on our individual journey to personal fitness.

Please feel free to add me as a friend, so wecan help each other.

Best of luck to you all, and keep up the good work

    We're glad to have you, Greg. Congratulations on quitting smoking! I quit smoking in February and still going strong, so I think I have officially kicked the habit. It definitely makes a huge difference in working out and just walking up a flight of stairs if you aren't smoking.

    Glad you decided to post for the first time...best way to get support is for everybody to put a name to that face!
