Helpless in Hernando

Hello: Everyone
My name is Barry Young and today is my 52nd birthday. I am 6’ 3’’ with a very broad frame, I currently weigh 380 pounds. I am in desperate need of losing about 155 pounds.

I'm a type 2 diabetic and having some severe back issues. I recently had 3 nerve blocks done which has yielded me very little relief. I’m probably going to have to drop out of school for a semester or until I can get my back fixed.

I know that my first step to resolving all of my current health issues is, as my cardiologist says “we got to get you skinny”. With that being said, Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I’m tired of not enjoying it and being a burden on my loved ones.

I have a wonderful skinny wife and a daughter just a year away from college who encourage me every day; however, I need everyone in the MY FITNESS PAL world to pray, give me some advice and encouragement to help me on my journey.

When it’s all said and done I want to be able to say

“I lost my 155 pounds and I can’t get it back”
