Well, I've been overweight most of my life (as long as I can remember anyway!) and battling the problem with little success until about 3 1/2 - 4 years ago.  That year I slipped and fell walking down a very wet, soggy and slippery embankment and fractured and dislocated my ankle badly. Really! You wouldn't believe it. I think I have a photo of the x-ray I can add.

At that time I was pretty big, but not at my all time biggest (362) and decided to finally do something about it. I started to exercise slowly and "diet" and lost a little.  Then I decided to mimic the Weight Watchers Points program based on my wife's desire to lose and go to meetings. I had the best success ever in my life, but as I lost weight and worked out more, I was dizzy and light-headed all the time.  As I added more food to my diet to adjust, I ate the wrong stuff, probably too much and started to gain about 20 -25 pounds and was uncomfortable with myself again.

Found CC in December of 2007 and it has helped me drop between 12 = 15 pounds and I really need to lose more but my will power and desire to eat crap has resurfaced. I'm hoping my buddies will keep me motivated to lose and then maintain....

That's my story and I'm sticking with it!
