Hi guys. I started losing weight in January of 2009 and weighed 344 pounds (probably more like 360, but I didn't step onto a scale until 344). Up until that point, I had been obese my entire life.
At the same time I started losing weight, I also started a blog (I won't self-promote, so no link, sorry!) to follow the journey and have had a lot of national attention, CNN, CBS, those kinds of things, which is how I assume Mike from MyFitnessPal found me. Mike sent me an e-mail telling me about MFP one night, congratulating me on my weight loss, etc, and the rest is history.
I've had an account with MFP for years, I just haven't posted until today. I weigh around 200 pounds right now and I'll post a followup post in another few days in the "success story" section with my in-depth story with tips, suggestions, etc.
Anyway, just thought I'd say hi!
