But 29 years after I graduated high school, I now weigh what I weighed at graduation, or at least close enough.

You're here because you're worth any effort you'll commit to, to attain your immediate and long-term fitness, aesthetics & health goals, at this stage in your life. I'm 44 and if I've not once regretted signing up on myfitnesspal back in November 2012 when family-friends via JPL recommended this app/site to me and my sister. My entry weight was 387 lbs, for having already lost [freight-weight] lbs.

Highly recommend you look up the listed peer-to-peer tips you may have a read-through.
