Well Here goes noth......Everything!!

Okay so Here goes noth...... Well everything. I am a 26 year old Father of an amazing 2.5 year old little girl and I have a little man on the way. I do everything I can to provide my daughter with the things that I may not have been able to have when I was young and I think it is only fair that I follow through with that when it comes to having her dad around. I Played Football in highschool and was on a full ride scholarship to a Div. 1 school and injured my knee and was unable to play the following year thus ending my football career for the time being. Just like many other young men and woman, it was time to live real life. Get to work buddy!! I gained weight after high school until I realized I needed to drop some pounds so I did like many of us have and turned to the Atkins Diet.. I lost 85lbs in 4 1/2 months and kept it off for about 35 minutes when I think back on it now. I not only gained it I Turned into one giant carb. Over the last few years I have gone up and down and tried this and that and have not really been successful until last year when I was laid off of my job and decided I wanted to get into law enforcement. I then took up the Eat Clean Diet which is actually amazing and worked very very well I dropped a total of about 60 pounds in a reasonable amount of time. I then ended up not finding a side position while do that so I moved for another job and put the law enforcement thing on the back burner and went back to picking up meals when I was on my way home and going out all the time and just not caring. As of last Monday night I said Enough is Enough I hopped on the scale and Had gained back alot of my weight so come Tuesday Eating clean it was. I have already lost 9lbs as of Saturday.... I know, I know stay off the scale. I am I promise. But I found the app for this site on my iphone and all i can say is that I think it is amazing... I input all my food and everything and it keeps me accountable.. I am here to stay and hope all the support helps me out. At my heaviest i was 439lbs and as of last Monday I was 405lbs and as of Saturday morning I was 396lbs. It is time to get this all off and keep it all off.

Welcome! You have come to the right place. It's hard for me to stay focused on tracking it all but when I invest in myself I do the best. I want to loose 20 pounds but I am a lot older and believe everyone when they tell you it only gets harder over 40! IT DOES! keep with it and you will succeed. BUT, you have to change the way the whole family eats too, you cannot be subjected to temptation! I know, I have three kids and although they'd love to eat EasyMac every night, we eat a lot of fish. They even love sushi now. Give it a try! Good luck. Happy to help support you if you friend me.

Welcome to the site. Almost the same story here. Motorcycle accident knocked out my football scholarships, dotors said I would never by able to play sports again. Gained weight because of depression, final year in college I joined the Ruby team & was able to join the all star team my first year playing - had something to prove. Lost all of my weight plus more. Over the years have not been as active as I should be (not only for myself, but also for my kids).
Stay on track & you will start to see a difference in not only the way you feel, but also in the way look. Feel free to add me as a friend if you wish.
Good luck on your journey.
