I'm new again

I've tried this before - but haven't used the message boards. I understand that it is supposed to aid in lifestyle change efforts to connect with others on a similar path. I've tried several different methods in the past and I know what I need to do to get healthy - I just don't want to fall off the wagon this time.

I'm 42 - (43 in 3 weeks). I'm 5'9 - I weighed in to start this time at 240.7. I have high blood pressure - wear size 40 pants. I haven't exercised in awhile and I'm afraid that for the first time in my life exercise will really be a labor for me.

My time is now. I have a great family - a great job - a great home - and great faith. I'm ready to accept great health.

    Welcome back!!! It's great that you have such a team of support. You will get a lot of advise but you will find what works for you. I read the message board and welcome new members but I do not post anything on it, it can be very negative. If I have questions I post it on my home page and look to my MFP friends for advise or support. You may add me if you would like. You can do this :smile:
