After thinking too much about introducing myself on this forum, here I go...
It's been a while since I last visited this site and I am back after a few years. I'm a 41yr old latin-canadian male living in Toronto, Ontario (Canada) and even tho I've always thought of myself as being strong and independent, I find myself needing some encouragement and support to achieve a goal: TO GET MYSELF HEALTHY and in shape.
I've always been overweight (20-30 lbs over all of my life) but the past 3 years have been a little bit different because I have been putting on weight more than usual. At 5'8", I am 258 pounds which is the heaviest I've ever been. I went trough an emotional roller coaster lately dealing with my mother illness and then death but I don't want to use that as an excuse.
The time has come for me to take care of business and losing 70-75 pounds is the beginning. I am looking for and offer moral and emotional support through the process. From experience, I think I do better when I know I am accountable to someone.
I hope to find here some people I can share tips with and perhaps motivate each other to reach our goals. If you want, we can even do daily or weekly reports to compare notes and see what works or not in our programs.
Tips and suggestions are welcome! Have a nice day everyone and I hope to hear from some of you.
