in Introduce Yourself
Good afternoon all, just wanted to say hello as this is my first time on MyFitnessPal. My name is Matt. I'm a 35 yr old male who has been heavy for almost my entire life, and I've decided that I've had enough. I'm currently at 335lbs on a 5'10" frame, and ideally, I would like to get to be 175. My father has been battling major health issues(diabetes, heart disease) for the better part of 20 years, and although he is still alive and has a fairly good quality of life, his retirement isn't how he envisioned. I need to avoid ending up in the same boat.

    Welcome to the community Matt! I also recently joined and the outpouring of support I have received has been so helpful! Don't be afraid to reach out to the community with questions, celebrations, or even just the occasional need for a kick in the butt! We are all here for the same reason and we all want to support each other! Good luck!
