Hello everyone, my name is John. I am 42, well 43 in about a month, and I have been at this for a little over a year now. I started at the end of June 2011 and was weighing 360 pounds! After my workout on Sunday I weighed in at 285. Please feel free to read my profile for a little bit more of my story.
I have no doubts that I will reach my goals and I absolutely refuse to give up. For anyone reading this make no mistake losing weight is one of the hardest things in the world to do. I know, after 13 orthopedic surgeries and 2 stents in my heart, if I can do it anyone can!
This is the first time I have ever posted any type of blog or message on a forum. I am usually a pretty private guy and just really stay to myself. However, I thought I would give this a try and see how it goes.
Thanks for reading.
