edited November 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Rich and I live in North West NJ. Anyway, to give you some background on myself, back in 2008 I had my appendix rupture. I had a pretty long recovery from it and because extremely sedentary afterwards. I put on so much weight, I didn't even want to leave the house. I finally had enough, started on Nutrisystem, joined a new health club that opened by work and slowly but surely I've lost 80 lbs so far. I still have quite a bit to go to reach my goal, so I figured I would reach out for some online support. Recently I've been extremely motivated and determined. I hope to learn from everyone and share what I can.

I look forward to contributing here,

Rich
