    Marc, nice to meet you. My name is Steve. I know exactly what you mean. In January of this year my wife went with me to the doctor. I stepped on the scale and my jaw could have hit the floor. I weighed in at 341 pounds the biggest I have ever been. We decided then that it was time for a change. I, like you wanted to be around for the family that we plan on having. It's taken me since January and I am down 110 pounds. I have done it slowly with a lifestyle change and support. Feel free to add me because I have been in your shoes. I know what it feels like. I am not done losing weight but I am on the right path.

    Support is a large part of your journey, not only the high fives for a job well done, but friends to keep you accountable and get you back on track when you are having a rough day or stray from your path, which we all do occasionally, the difference is with support you are able to get right back on it !! Will send a friend request :)

    Hi, Marc. I am along for the ride with you. I have lost and gained and lost and gained so many times its hard to count.

    My husband and I are back on the wagon, as I have had a diabetes scare. I would love to have friends that encourage and hold me accountable. I'm with you!

    Once again I just wanna thank everyone for their input. "THIS" does in fact mean the last time. Here's to a second change, new life, and a great start. LET'S GET IT.
