Fat keeps me from fun. New member intro.

Hello everyone.

I am older gentleman (57) finally feeling like it's time to lose some weight...started at 290. This year my company is using MyFitnessPal as part of their wellness program...so I am trying it out.

Have been serious on my diet and elliptical now for about 25 days. I've lost about 13 pounds so far...just getting started. Would like to get down to 220 at least.

A couple years ago I stopped playing league raquetball, but I want to make a come back.

If their is someone in a similar situation wanting some prodding or support or could chat about our wins and losses, it might be fun.

It's real this time.

    Hi! While I’m not entirely in the same situation - still in my 20s and currently a medical student - I’d still love to chat with you about our little victories! I’ve been at my heaviest at 240 but have lost 50 lbs since March 2020. I’m planning to lose 50 more so feel free to add me so we can support each other and stay active!
