I love helping others because helping others helps me in my journey to healthy living. I first started on my own weighing 285+ and I say + because I stopped weighing myself when I hit 285 so I am not sure how much I actually gained. Back then I had trouble breathing, could not sleep , indigestion, blood pressure, sugar levels you name it was hard. So I tried several different things programs did the yoyo for some time. I am now at 237lbs and I do have a weight goal but I am also working on keeping good healthy numbers for my yearly doctor visits..

When I first started MFP I was not sure about adding people and did not really understand how much support was on this site. So I started to add people and love the support. I then started to share some of my insight and found sharing with others help keep me stay motivated because I do not want to share something I have not already done myself or working towards doing. So now I am offering to those who need some support someone to check in on them when they have not logged in after a few days. If you add me to your friends list I WILL email you if you have not logged in for a few days so if you’re not into that type of support I am probably not the person for your friends list. I get excited about helping others and helping myself. I love my wife and kids who provide a ton of support which allows me to spend time doing what I enjoy. So if you don’t mind a swift kick from time to time go ahead ADD me and let’s get this done!!

    Wow, keep it up! I was the same way when I joined, and was very hesitant to add people. However, ever since I have, I love it even more! It's amazing what support you can find on this site. :)

    I, too, feel that way. I can ALWAYS use some encouragement, help with accountabilty (keeping me posting) and the occasional "atta girl".
