My Name Is Brandon...

Hello there I am 29 years of age; and my name is Brandon... I am 5'3" and nearly 300lbs. I am sick of being over weight and unhealthy -- I got a family, and I got fans to be healthy for. I am ready to lose at least 120lbs -- would love to have some friends and some encouragement a long the way. I know I can do this... I been feeling sorry for myself and its about dang time that I stop feeling sorry for myself and get off my butt and do something about it!! My family depend on me; and I do not want to let them down. Once I lose some weight I'll also be able to get back into firefighting and helping those in need without jeopardizing my squad

    Good luck with your journey! It isn't easy to do but with support from others you can do it! There are times that you will struggle too but don't let that get you down. I have failed at times too but this time I decided I am doing this for me not because my family is saying you need to it! I want to be there for my grandchildren. I have a 30 year reunion this August and my goal is too lose 30 pounds. If I don't get there at least if I lose 20 that is good enough for me.
