Hi my name is john in Nc, I have lost 82 lb in the past 2 years.
Back in early feb my mom had a heart attack so I flew to Ca and lived in the hospitable for a month eating cheese burgers and crappy foods and zero exercise other then walking to the cafeteria 3 x a day. She got better so i flew back home and a month later she passed away from gallbladder infection so i flew back out for 2 months to help out with things and just be there for my family.
Cam back and had all my bad teeth fixed and got implantable dentures. so i could not really chew for a months so it was all pasta and soft /bad foods.
So here i am i set up a new account and deleted my old one because it had about a billion saved food things from past meas and i could not find any thing. so I'm starting fresh again. I put back on 30lb this year. Its been a bad year. so as long and noting else happens I should get back to normal quickly. Im already back on my gym and cardio and making good food choices again.
TL;DR: Im back after many bad set backs.

I'm also back after time away. I've gained 6 lbs and till today have been on a path for more weight gain. The key is to never quit trying. So, here's to being back in the game!0
