Hi, I'm Nate and I started my fitness pal in June but stoped after a week. I have decided to start again because I really need to lose weight. Two years ago I was 80lbs lighter than I am now. I have always been a big guy weighing around 300 lbs. Then I started to work out constantly and eat right to maintain a weight at about 220 lbs. That went on for a few years untill one of my best friends died I guess I used that as an excuse to not work out anymore. Now two years and some change later I am weighing around 320 lbs. I find it hard to start eating right and working out again because I feel as if I am starting all over. However, after looking at some pictures of my self from a couple of years ago, I am ready to start from square one again. I guess that is my introduction and I am glad I have stumbled upon My Fitness Pal.

    Loss of a loved one is a hard thing. I lost a baby in March, and while part of me wanted to give up I just keep reminding myself. "What would she want for me?" Think of your friend what would that person be saying or wanting for you..... You can do this..... feel free to friend me
