Good Afternoon!

In search of some who can help me on my journey. I’ve been a “Big Guy” all my life and just can’t seem to get it together. My user name is chas1239 if your interested in joining me.

I’m a 40 year old guitar instructor down in Mississippi. I’ve been in the military and deployed to Baghdad, Iraq so I’ve served my country. Soon after getting home I started to put weight back on. Gained about 150 lbs that I need to get rid of and could use all the help I can get.

Hope to see you in my friends feed!

Chas

    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Thank you for your service. I appreciate it.

    Buy a food scale. Weigh everything you eat and log into the food diary.

    Good luck with your journey!

    It can be daunting. I’m in the same boat.

    It is a challenge but far from impossible! Great to see you taking that first step.

    You can do it you just need to stick with it and not expect instant results.
