Hello!

Hi there everyone!

New to myfitnesspal forums, but not new to weight loss or myfitnesspal as a whole as I use it to track my macros. Looking to make some new friends and connect with like-minded people who have embarked on this same journey that I have. I don't really have any friends who have ever gone on a diet/lifestyle change save for just one and he's still pretty new to the field. It would be really nice to meet and connect with people who I can share this journey with.

I'm 31 years old and from Connecticut. I started my weight-loss journey 14 months ago where I weighed a dreadful 375 pounds on my 5'4 frame. I was miserable and never in my life weighed more on that very day that I reached my limit where I said enough was enough. Fast forward 14 months later and I've shed 104 pounds. I have found that as I lose weight my entire outlook on life has changed. I've gained so much confidence, happiness and energy and I've never found myself being more adventurous with my time and activities as a result.

After losing the first 75 pounds I started to see a personal trainer 4 days a week to do strength training. I do cardio for an hour a day solo at least 5 times a week. I've stepped up my game a lot since I lost the first 75 pounds and can't wait to see where the next year takes me.

Life is good my friends. Happy to be here and thanks for having me -- hope I can make some friends!
