in Introduce Yourself
I was at a low point in my life late 2011 :grumble: . At 6’2 I was pushing 280. I was seeing doctors trying to figure out why I was suffering from increases in depression :cry: , lack of energy :sick: , trouble sleeping and much more. During the doctor visits I found my testosterone was as low as an 80 year old man, I struggled with sleep :yawn: and a sleep study reviled I had slight sleep apnea and insomnia. The common theme I found while visiting the doctors was the weight I was carrying had to be affecting my mood and everything else...:embarassed: So I found MFP decided to just do this and 620+ days 50lbs later I have never looked back :wink: ….. Since then it’s been up and down but I have unfinished business and I am now ready to make a push to my ultimate goal and finally maintain :drinker: . I am looking for some new friends….one thing I like here is meeting people from all over the world. Please join me in this journey! It’s hard and not easy but we can do this….we can! :tongue:

    Feel free to add me as well. I lost 97 lbs, got sidetracked by life issues, and gained some back. Now I'm trying to get back to where I was so I can push towards my ultimate goal as well.

    Good luck!

    Well if you look at my profile and are interested, feel free to send me a FR. I'm always open to more friends. Fortunately, I've been blessed with some of the most amazing friends from around the world. My FL is from people from 5 continents and at least a dozen countries. My friends are about as diverse as you can get: young/old, male/female, gay/straight, all ethnicities, you name it, I've got it covered. And it was all unplanned -- it just happened. So if you, or anyone else is interested, feel free to send me a FR. And good luck on your journey.

    I feel like I need some new friends on here as many of my current ones seem to have gone a bit quiet. Anyone is welcome to send a FR, I'm English by the way.

    Done Deal...Always looking to make new friends!!! Questions, have you rechecked your testosterone since you lost weight? If so, has it gone back to a normal range?
