Community Support Needed

I just started this website on Sunday. I'm about 50 pounds over where I need to be. I'm a 43 year old, happily married father of a 7 year old and 4 year old, and have found it easier to just eat what I want and say that I don't have time to exercise. In fact, I've gained 30 pounds over the last year. I injured my rib playing basketball a few weeks ago and found out from the doctor I almost punctured my lung. I guess that is a sort of wake up call.

Anyways, I could use some community support/website friends as I start this journey.

    I would love a buddy and I'm willing to be there for you! I am 38 and about 75 pounds over where I want/need to be. Depression is a major cause of why I am where I am along with an inability to know when enough is enough. I think I have made food my pacifier. I realized I was in trouble when I found myself "hiding" to eat more. I am embarassed with the way I look and how out of breath I get when I walk up one flight of stairs! I know in the past, having someone to talk to who is in a similar situation, helps. Just know I believe you can do this! I am here for you and I feel I know how you feel! Hang in there! togehter, we can meet our goals!
