in Introduce Yourself
So I went for the dreaded doctor visit, and what do you know, being fat isn't very good for your health!! Who would have thought? But seriously, I hopped on that scale, and it read 351 lbs. It was a major wake up call. I have been a rather heavy drinker, tobacco chewer, and fast food connoissuer for the last 15 years. As of tomorrow, I am one month alcohol and fast food free, and two months tobacco free. I've been using this site with my wonderful wife for about the last month, I was sceptical at first, but now I'm hooked and committed. It's time to find some friends to help me on my journey. A little extra possitive support could never hurt. Doctor says I have about 125 lbs to lose, So if anyone out there has a similar story, or wants a jolly fat guy as a friend, please add me!

    Warwick reminds me of my favorite game.. League of Legends. Haha.

    I've been a soda drinker and fast food addict for pretty much all my life.

    Congrats on making the best change of your life! I started back in March during lent and gave up fast food back then. What a tremendous difference it made! Now I will only eat a salad from a fast food restaurant or a sandwhich. I applaud you for giving up tobacco, I use to be a smoker back in the day and that's a hard habit to give up.
