in Introduce Yourself
Hey all,

Just joined a few days ago. Im a 28yr old male at 5'9 currently at 255lbs

Iv been going through a complete life style change. Including moving to a new area alone, out of work for the moment, dealing with a breakup and unfortunately going through some major depression. I lost about 20lbs just from the depression and lack of eating alone. I decided now is the time to completely change the way I look, feel, and live my life. This is is the most motivation I have ever regarding my weight and healthy living, although its been on my mind for years.

Im a complete newbie to weight loss and fitness. Im really glad to have found MFP and would like to meet some friends to join up with so im not making the journey alone. :smile:

    Similar situation here. Take this time to fall in love with yourself and realize how much you deserve this! You are worth it and can't wait to see your progress.

    I think this site will be the difference between success and failure since I don't have any personal support around here. Actually turns out a friend of mine from my old city is on here so that helps.

    We are all on here for our own reasons.
    I'm sorry to hear about your situation & hope you find a job soon. Go to the nearest library & ask where to go in the area for social events.
    I joined a local running club, on the beginners course & have made friends through this.
    Good luck & well done for thinking positive
