Hi, my name is Michael and I am 27 years old and weigh over 350 lbs. My heighest weight was 389 lbs and so far I have lost 32 lbs. My doctors wanted me to have gastric bypass but I have decided to do the work myself by eating healthy and working out. My fitness pal has really helped me to count my calories and as long as I follow the program I am loosing on average 2 pounds a week. I could really use some guy friends on here for motivation and to help me stay focused so feel free to add me.

Thanks for letting me join the group!

    Yeah right now I am doing p90x and tomorrow I am starting C25k. I have lost 32 pounds so far.

    Is there a way for MFP to email me when someone replies to my forum post?

    Hi,

    I just started MyFitnessPal last week. My wife introduced me to it and she has really benefited from this program.

    I am traveling, busy exec.. and fail to take care of myself on the road. So this program and the mobile app are great.

    I had a paper-based approach before.. and that worked until I had to get on an airplane and travel.

    I trust I can stay on plan and fine a support group to me and motivate others as I met my goals.

    My first week I have lost 3 lbs and have another 12 to go.. before I set any other goals.

    Thanks for letting me join!
