Soooo...I've been on here since January. I was 207 pounds, out of a crappy relationship and was just miserable. A very low, low. A dark place

Since I signed up for this, the last 4 months:

I lost over 40 lbs (162 right now)
I got back into the dating scene
I fit in all my old clothes
I love taking photos again
I started to get the tone I always wanted
Have energy that I lost from the last 2 years
Hiked for miles in the Asheville Mountains
Bought a Mtn Bike
Got back on the dance floor
Started filming for a comedy project

and got over an old flame...

The reason I'm RE-introducing myself is...well, people fall off the bandwagon. It's hard, I know. But I'd like to continue this journey. And maybe make some new friends. If you have awesome stories, great experiences or feel maybe you never will...PLEASE, message me!

Kevin

    I'm looking for new buddies as well, I was gone for awhile (finishing my graduate thesis/having a general panic attack over life) and now I'm back and all my friends are MIA. Feel free to add me, and great job on your accomplishments so far!

    40lbs in 4 months-WOW!!! Great job. I lose much slower than that--I would be ecstatic to have lost 40lbs by my one year anniversary-but you said the magic words-dance floor. Add me if you'd like. :flowerforyou:

    Congratulations on your utter success!

    I have been pretty small since high school,. I lost weight at 20 years old by simply eating when I was hungry and not for recreation! Then, after I had my 2nd child (at 35) I somehow got down to 109 pounds (at 55"). Way too skinny. Thank you breast feeding.

    At 41 I am 123 and want to lose 7-8 lbs. My goal is to lose it before my family Hawaii trip August 23rd. I want to be able to swim and frolick with my kiddos AND feel spectacular at the same time!

    I was a little aprehensive to count calories but I want to really see what I'm eating so that I can determine what direction I need to go!

    So... here we go! This site is so user friendly. I love it.

    Congrats on your comedy. ( I'm filming some comedy stuff myself next month.) : )

    Cool story! I've been really successful on here for the past year, but still going. BTW, I love the Asheville area - I've been hiking and kayaking on the French Broad around there. Feel free to friend me for support.
