OK, I currently live in the willamete valley of Oregon, Springfield specifically, I have a great deal of weight to lose forever and ever. The first step is getting down to 500 so I can have bariatric surgery. Then downward from there.

Anyway, I'm looking for like minded people in or around my area who are in need of support or willing to provide support to a fellow fat person. Or, if you are in shape and willing to help motivate a fat person, that would be awesome too.

So you probably wonder about the Florida part. I and my family are planning on relocated to the gulf coast in about two years. Thinking of the Tampa area specifically but pretty open. I've spent time in Florida and love it, I do not function well in the gloom of the pacific northwest and dream of the day I can leave it in my rear view mirror. So, I'm also fascinated to talk to people from Florida and get opinions, ideas and what not from them.

I know I"m kind of scary to look at, but I promise not to bite you.
