My name is Ken, I'm 65 years of age. I'm a former h.s & college athlete (many years ago), former yogi-aspirant-doing hatha yoga and being really slim for many years. As age and busy living took over I slowly but surely kept packing on the pounds until I hit my peak weights. Presently, this morning, I weighed myself at 262.5 pounds. I've been as high as 270. I am desperate to lose the weight and regain my health and sharpness of mind. I'm a successful writer and spend many hours per day sitting in front of monitors barely moving. No matter how many times I promise myself that "today is the day I change everything" I always manage to make tomorrow the start date. I read an article last night (9-15-13) saying that people who use sites like this one to engage with a community while working their programs do much better so here I am. As much as I need encouragement-reading the stories of those who have been successful, I'll do my best to support others as well. Thank you all! Ken

    Hello Ken. Welcome to MFP. Yes, this is a great site and the support from the community can be a big help in achieving your goal. I'm just few years your junior, and have a few titanium parts as well, so I know if I can do it, you can too. I've been very lucky to have the most amazing friends here from around the world. After you look at my profile, if you'd like, please go ahead and send me a friend request. I'd love to support you. Guys our age have to stick together.

    Good luck on your journey. You can do it here.
