Good morning everyone,
I had no idea there was such a support group on My Fitness Pal! Today marks day 70 on My Fitness Pal and I just crossed the 34 lbs threshold. I am a 44 year-old male that was surprised earlier this year with a new baby daughter. Before she arrived I was happy, or at least thought, with the steady downhill slide into retirement or “old age.” When she was born I weighted 272 lbs and that was on a six foot frame and the heaviest I had ever weighed. I was starting to have health issue and the doctor told me it was because of the excess weight I was carrying around. Therefore, my motivation is to be here when my daughter graduates, get married, and has her own children.
I have a long way to go before I reach my goal weight. It has not been easy in fact, I ran into a plateau about a month ago that really tested my resolve. Good luck to everyone and I look forward to the motivation from the group.
