in Introduce Yourself
I'm a new poster but have been using MFP for the last 45 days or so. (Yes, I started the monday before Thanksgiving) During that time I have lost 23 lbs, halfway to my goal of 47 lbs.

My story is pretty much the standard one. I'm a 40 year old ex athlete (football and baseball) and father of three. As my kids commitments grew the time for me got less and less and the pounds went on. Before I knew it the scale said 257.4. Some friends showed my wife and I how to use MFP and with her on board off we went.

So now I'm ready to make the push to reach my goal. I can always use some more friends on here to help me make it through so feel free to add. Now for the pics.

Start 257.4 lbs

    The wife said I should take a picture in the same shirt for reference. So here it is.

    That same shirt was pulling around the mid section in the first photo. "The wife" as Steve would say, was right. lol
