Some New Blood
Greetings all,
My name is Tony.
Here’s my quick bio:
I am 33 years old. I am married to my soul mate. I have two beautiful 18-month old daughters. I am a copywriter at an ad agency in Minneapolis, MN. I am 5′11 and as of this morning I weigh 269 pounds.
I have struggled with my weight ever since graduating from college, but over the last two years things have really gotten out of hand. While my wife was pregnant with our girls I sort of adopted her diet. A diet that was fine for a women who was eating for three, not so fine for someone eating for one. By January of this past year I was up to 288 pounds.
In the past six months I have yo-yo’d around. Eating healthy then binge eating then eating healthy again. I think I am finally ready to get serious. Part of getting serious has been telling my family and friends about my problem and asking for their help. That’s what brought me here as well.
Thank you Rick for inviting me to this site. I look forward to getting to know all of you better.
If anyone is intrested I am blogging daily about my ups and downs here. I am a writer though, so some of my post can get a little wordy.
Tony

We’re glad to have you aboard, Tony. Your story is common to us all, I think. We definitely look forward to hearing about your progress over the coming weeks. Although we really don’t endorse one weight loss method over another here, I recommend finding a good, proven program to guide you in your weight loss. Personally, I’ve been on Weight Watchers, as have a few others on here, but there are others.

Hi Tony pleasure to meet you! I yoyo’d for decades - but finally on track now (lost over 80 so far, about 60ish to go). There is lot of support here and around the web. We are all in this together and getting healthy! Lady Rose
