Hello everyone! My name is Morgan. I'm returning from an unexpected 'hiatus' and want to jump back in to losing weight, getting active, and becoming healthy. I am 23 years old and weigh just shy of 250lbs at a controversial height of 5'7. Which means I am way over a healthy BMI and at the heaviest I have ever weighed in my entire life! My goal weight is 145lbs meaning I've got about 100lbs to loose!! Oi!

I'm a predominately Irish-american-mutt born and bred in metro-Detroit Michigan but with family out in Oregon/Washington. I am part of the LGBTQ community and live with my wonderful girlfriend just outside of Marquette while attending university and working part-time. I'm a university student at Northern Michigan University studying fisheries and wildlife management while pursuing my certification through The Wildlife Society as a wildlife biologist. I have two dogs, an Australian Shepherd named Rowan and a shih-tzu/Maltese named Tanuki, a cat named Charlotte, and rat named Juno. I love being active, playing sports, getting muddy, and tromping through the woods with my aussie. I adore fantasy, learning, and exploring. And I'm also massive geek for anything horror and gore, black humor, vulgarity and, anything off-kilter or eccentric.

I'm really looking for some good friends that I can not only motivate and get after but I'm also looking for the same. I like the awesome community that I had encountered a few years ago on this site and its what keeps me returning but I haven't felt the "community" and "support" the past few times I've returned. It'd be really cool to encounter someone with a similar goal and body type to compete against since I love competition!

So yeah! Add me! Lets motivate each other and rock this!

    Let's see....5'9" and 238, Aquarius, old school New York Hard Core/Punk fan. Also active, regardless of my size. I wasn't this big but I am now and I'm on the mend. 46 years old, regular boring old hetero, but let me tell you, being alone is working for me right now. Learning and exploring never goes out of style. You can add me too.
