Hello, I am just new on this board but have been actively using MFP since about May this year. I started at 234lbs and with the help of MFP along with Runkeeper, I am now down to 208lbs, 1 shirt size and 1 pant size. I am married to the same woman for 26 years, we have 3 boys and I am a Sales Manager for a Packaging Company. My wife keeps me grounded so I don't get too cocky with my weight loss. I am of Italian heritage - I speak, read and write Italian - I love my carbs as a result. I am making little changes and with the help of MFP is seriously why I think I'm do so well.

Now you know all about me!

I don't think I will be posting much but I do enjoy reading many of the posts.

    Just had a physical and I am down to 199 from 234 last May. Everyone at work is thinking I am on "crack" (Rob Ford Reference) but with MFP, walking, running I am getting it done properly. Oh and add Jawbone UP and an AIM Smoothie in the morning too!!

    Bought a pair of Dockers yesterday - SIZE 36 BABY!!! My last pair I bought was size 40 and they were tight on me.

    I know I am bragging but I deserve it.

    1. You have earned bragging rights. Congratulations on reaching "onederland."
    2. LOL re: the Rob Ford reference. :-)

    Congrats on being from ON, Canada too! Gotta represent!


    (PS I used to work for Sinclair Radio Labs/Sinclair Technologies based in Aurora, although I was part of the R&D Group set up in Niagara. But my paycheques came from your neck of the woods)

    My 36's are now ridiculously loose but the same make/model of jeans won't even make it all the way up my thighs, lol. I'll try again in 5 lbs! Keep on keepin' on. That's what I'm doing.

    Congratulations. Very good effort. Support from family is very basic and it seems you have. Very good.

    Hello and thank you for the support of everyone. I actually did not know you all responded. I am down to 193 now but stuck at this, I guess I need to raise my intensity of my workouts.
