in Introduce Yourself
My name is Chris, I weigh 557 pounds and I am miserable. I have finally made a decision to live and not be burdened with this daily struggle of just trying to get out of bed and get to work. I cant walk more than 20 feet with out getting so winded I think i'm going to die, and there are time that I wish I had. I'm only 47 and I want to do some things ya'know, like go to an NFL football game (and fit in the seat), go on a cruise or see the Grand Canyon.

    Hi, Chris! I just started MFP. Well, I was on it before, but not really doing it right. I just started again two days ago. I think we've both come to the right place to get to where we can improve our lives greatly. I look forward to working along side of you, day by day. You can do it!

    Welcome to MFP Chris. I think this will end up being a helpful resource for breaking bad old habits and furnish a fresh new start for yourself! Doing MFP is fun and it makes you feel instigated to be more active and eat healthy sensible foods.

    Good luck! I hope this ends up being life changing for you.
