in Introduce Yourself
I am Jon, 43 years old and weigh over 300 pounds. I have been well over 400 before and as low as 220. The last year has been a rollover coaster. I have kidney failure and am currently doing dialysis 4 days per week and I work full time. Well more than full time. I am very limited in exercise due to my graft but walking more and more.

Now the hard part...due to my bmi I am currently not elegible for a transplant. So I need to lose roughly 70 lbs to be transplant elegible. Without the transplant well you get the idea.

I am looking for friends and motivation. A little help now and then would be great.

Today is day 10 of my journey. Journey to a better longer life.

    Hi Jon. I have a congenital heart defect and will be looking at a heart transplant in my future. I need/want to lose weight so I can be healthy enough when that time comes! I have just started with MFP this week. Good luck to you!! ::)

    Welcome! Just the fact that you at one point were over 400 proves that 70lbs can be done. Best of luck to you!
