in Introduce Yourself
Hello there, My name is Rick and I am 55 years old and very overweight. At the first of the year I determined that I was taking back my life and going to lose 150 lbs. over the next year and a half. I am 7 weeks in and have lost 25 lbs. so far. I am looking for people who would be willing to check in on me and keep me accountable over this journey. I am willing to do the same for you in return. I have really made good progress thus far, but I know the hardest part is still ahead. I receive great support from my wife and family, but somehow being accountable to others out there provides additional motivation. Please feel free to friend request me. I look forward to making good contacts on this journey. Good luck to all on your quest for better health!

    Anyone can add me. My triglycerides are up so started on low carb diet per my Doctor. So far it seems to be working ok. But getting sick of cheese. Any help would be appreciated!
