Just getting started

headwaiter

Hey guys, trying to turn a new leaf after the new year and looking to lost a small person. I broke my back a few years ago and balooned up to almost 300 pounds. I made it down to 220 before hurting myself again and have been a little aprehensive about exercising again, but now it is time as I topped out at 260 pounds again.

I am a former chef, so I am putting my own diet together, but found this site and love all the features. Looking forward to losing weight with you guys!!

By the way, my real name is Jerry. I have an article going on The Examiner in the Philadelphia section (didn't know if we were allowed to post links to our blogs or not so I didn't do it). I am the drinks examiner and would love for you guys to check it out.

I am also a pretty active member of my poker forum and love the chatter.

I, too, am just getting started. Good luck to us both! I tried this site once before & did well when I checked in every day & was focused. Unfortunately at some point, life grabbed hold of me & I stopped checking in, lost focus & am back to my old ways. I'm ready to turn it around!
