I thought it would be nice to throw in a random video game reference to break the ice.

My names Tim and I'm new to MFP. It was highly recommended to me by my cousin who has been a long time member.

I have one major obstacle though.

The ligaments in my right ankle have been weakened from years of sports and my right shoulder needs surgery. I need to lose roughly 50 lbs for the doctors to perform this surgery. The next big problem is that they need to do it ASAP otherwise I could risk permanently damaging my ankle.. I would say July/August at the latest.

I'm a member of numerous online forums and I've found that people online are extraordinary in their own right and are very supportive so I turn to this community for motivation and I will in turn motivate and help others.

Please feel free to send me friend requests... I promise I don't bite.

Cheers

Tim

Keep your diary open and also your mind. Lots of great help here. Some people are not so receptive to receiving it. I feel why be here then. iWaffle had a great idea in not making people who aren't ready for help or change MFP friends. I read his bio right at a time I've been struggling with defriending someone who is not ready for help or needs more than I can give. I'm tired of the excuses on why they can't eat fruits and vegetables, why "fresh" food isn't available and why they hate exercise. Been there done that. My diet has improved greatly over the past year and half with gentle suggestions from the great people on MFP. Am I perfect no, but I'm constantly striving to eat healthy and exercise.
