Welcome uvmsportsnut Glad to see you here. As you will see I am proudly sporting a "Newbie" badge - if you would like one too, just ask so folks can help out a little more if you need it - but you don't have to if you don't want, 'cause folks on here are helpful anyway.

Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Welcome, and well done. I too would like to know more about your weight loss success story. how long did it take you to lose 100 lbs and what was your approach?

[uvmsportsnut in reply to Topster5]

I got diagnosed with a serious heart issue and had a [pacemaker and defibrillator put in ..I also have someone in my life that is amazing and we eat healthy and cook together. Lots of protein, veggies, and trying to stay active...slow process but I am feeling better and still have weight to lose...

But even still, you've done really well to get as far as you have! Congratulations!
