Everyone, I want to introduce myself. I am a single father of 4, I am a former United States Navy Sailor, I have been divorced for almost 3 years and due to no fault of my own I have just gotten out of a almost 1.5 year relationship with the woman that I felt is my soul mate. I want to settle down and be a "family" and she needs to be "on her own" first. I don't know when or if we will get back together but I have my hopes. And we are still best friends, couldn't ask for anything more under the circumstances. Now I tell you all this for this reason, when I got divorced I weighed almost 300lbs and was wearing a size 44-46 pant....I was in my mind an OMG size, now for any of you that are at that size if you want to lose it you will; have determination, if I can do it you can too! Im a period of about 1.5 years I was depressed but I wanted to get better so I changed my diet, got out more and excercised. I went from a 44-46 to a 34-36 losing almost 75lbs! I lost an average 5th grader lol! Currently I am about 216lbs still not as small or fit as I want to be but I will get there. Unfortunately I have hit a bout of depression again with the break up, if you've never felt the "loss" of someone you truly loved, wanted and needed in your life you'll never know and I truly hope that you don't. But I am going to take that depression and make it my "bitch" use it as fuel to drive me and get myself better. You need to take every day one at a time, with the things that I've been through which no I haven't divulged everything here but if I can do it so can you.
My Journey started Yesterday 19 Jan 15, I took the day by the horns and said let's go! I started my weigh in at 218.9lbs, today I am at 216.2lbs. My "goal" weight for this challenge is 210.2lbs. That is not my true goal weight, I want to be at 190lbs. I can do it, I know I can. If I can help any of you with this journey and quest that you are on I am at your disposal. I wish you all luck. May the odds be ever in your favor.
