Hi, my name is William. im 48, single, archaeologist from Washington state. been a fat boy my whole life. biggest kid in school and all that. came home from fire camp in 2017 with BAD pneumonia. during my recovery i decided to stop nicotine and develop a more healthy lifestyle. started walking and hurt my knee. went to the doc and tipped the scales at 400lbs. im a big dude, 6'4" but that was a shocker. started PT and diet program in september 2019. since then ive been nicotine free and have lost 75 lbs. im proud but worry about gaining it back. i started talking to a counselor and am involved with OA. never dieted in my life and i would appreciate tips and tricks for sustained weightloss. im now 325 but looking for 270 or so. i havent had good success with web based communities but would love to meet some people here. i was keto but have had more success with calorie counting. reply and maybe we can share contact info. really struggling with depression lately,anxiety and just an overall sense of morose.
Anyway, thanks for reading and i look forward to further engagement.
happy to be here
