I'm 43 and I took the first step on a long road to being health again today. I realized that I'm not what I use to be and this is going to be tougher than I thought. I'm coming in at 305 under 6 ft. I have about 90 lbs to go to reach my goal and thought it would be good just to have someone to talk to in my shoes or who has been there every now and then. I think this will help with the motivation.
