Aloha, I'm Neil
Hey there, I'm Neil. I've been using MFP for a year. I'd been determined to lose weight for a couple months prior to joining; In fact I found MFP because it accomplished the simple task of calculating on the go with my phone. I'd done good old fashioned hard work from May 2012 to July 2012 by moving to Hawaii. The best way…

Nearing the end of this so called Obese Life
Aloha, I'm Neil. There hasn't been a day alive that I've been anything under "Obese". That is, no day before my very first few years, and no day after January of 2013.
