    Hello, James. I understand how you could be feeling so much, yet have so little to say. Both of my parents died from obesity related health issues at the age of 45. I myself started out 210lbs overweight. I have a child of my own now and I would like to someday meet my grandchildren. My parents never knew my son, and my son will never know his grandma and grandpa. This is all very sad and can seem so defeating, but the good news is that we are not helpless! We can, with the right motivation and determination defeat this! You can literally reverse the health issues you have with proper diet and exercise, and I can break the cycle of poor eating habits for my child! We can do this! Feel free to add me!

I would be happy for you to join me on this journey. I'll friend you now. If you have any questions please fell free to message me. i have alot of nutrition and wellness training under my belt from college(even tho I don't always employ it it's there). Good luck on your journey MFP is a great place to start.
