Obese is a 5 Letter Word

Hello. I'm a newbie. I'm 45 years old. I've been overweight all of my adult life. I'm finally motivated to lose some weight, but we all know it's not easy. I weigh 297 right now. I want to drop about 90-100 pounds over the next year. I'm looking for motivational friends. If you would have me, we could inspire each other. My name is Marcus.
