New to group and wanted to introduce myself

TooBIGdotNet

Hello everyone soon to be 34 year old father 7 husband here in Michigan. I have tried everything you can imagine to lose weight with the exception of surgery as it's just not for me mentally but I don't knock it at all for anything that has had it done.

About a year ago I tried out and made it as a semi finalist on EMWLE with trainer Chris Powell about a month or two before filming I was told I wasn't picked for the show.

This made me realize that even if I was on the show the work and effort was still going to have to come from me more so from within me. I have a 2 year old daughter that keeps me dedicated now to this journey.

I blog about my weight loss on my site toobig.net and my EMWLE story if anyone is interested can be found on my site at the links just below the banner with the scale.

My heaviest weight was 523 in Feb 12 when I auditioned for EMWLE I was 505 today I'm almost a year later I'm about 70lbs down and still going.

Thank you all for crating a group with people who i know get me and can relate to each others struggles. I welcome anyone that would like to become a friend.

Thanks Jess
