Marriage is Ending, No Better Time to Rediscover Myself

Hey all. On the 4th, my wife and I decided to separate, which is somewhat fitting, it being Independence Day. It has been sad and depressing, but equally liberating. Before I met her and moved to her state, I was striving towards the best shape of my life and had a tidal wave of confidence. Now, 3 1/2 years and 90ish pounds later, I'm feeling a comeback tour. As one life event comes to an end, I am ready to get back in touch with myself and make sure my best years aren't behind me. I have over 200 to lose, so would love some ladies and lads ro take the journey with. I can't be on much during the day, but evenings, I would love to connect with each and every one!

    I'm in the same boat too.... not sure what's happening with my marriage but have started doing this for myself and not matter what the outcome I'm going to keep going. I've lost 5lbs and already feel better about myself. How's your weight loss progressing? Have you been doing it long? :)
