Looking for new friends to keep me motivated.

My mame is Marc. Im 420 pounds. I decided to choose this path so that I can be there for my wife and the family we plan to have. Many yeard i've tried to lose weight and failed. Now i'm gonna try to incorporate God and the support of my friends in my process.

    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.
