New Guy who wants a New Life

I am a 33 year old male that is around the 470 mark and 6'5. I lost my job 6 years ago and it put me in a depressed state that I have to get out of. Now the only hope I have of keeping my family is to get up and get my life back together. At this point this is going to be the hardest thing I have ever done, but I am going to face it head on. So I hope to find some friends on here who are dealing with the same thing. That way we can do this together and keep motivated. So thanks for taking the time to hear my little story and hope to talk with yall soon.

    Hey hun. I have PTSD so I know all about how stress and depression can make weight loss and maintenance a living hell. Encouragement from others is absolutely the best way you can push through this struggle.

    You're welcome to add me for some encouragement and for the few tips and tricks that I've got :)

    Sorry to hear about the stress going through your life. I can't fix that, but I can encourage you to keep trying and keep logging in for weight loss. I would love to add another friend and to motivate. :)
