edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
My name is Ron and I just want to introduce myself. I am going to be 25 yrs old next month and I need a change. And that change is to lose weight! I have started many times before to exercise and watch what I ate, but I was never sucessful. I am doing this for myself, I have to! If ever have kids, I want to be able to be healthy and keep up with my kids. I have always been a big guy, but I am just tired and I need to accomplish this lifelong goal. So I basically challenged myself last night to go thru with this or give up...And I am not going to be a quitter. This is a turning point in my life and I know it is not going to happen overnight, but I do believe that I will accomplish my goal in 1-2 years...

Any ideas or suggestions are certainly welcome...so bring them on!!!

Ron

    Hi Ron, glad you joined! MFP will definitely help you in reaching your goal. You are very smart to know that it will take 1-2 years to take the weight off....
