Newbie to Forum

Greetings,
I am hoping to get some cyber support and encouragement from this forum. From what I have seen so far this might be the place. Another forum that I belong to, some have a problem with fat people and they are rude in letting you know that, which isn't very supporting or helping in the matter.

I have been working at bodybuilding and weight loss for the past 3 years, it has been working but I have found out that communication with others whether on the computer or in person is a real help. I started out with a weight of 330 pounds I am now down to 260 pounds body fat percent I could not tell you, I have never checked it except in the mirror.

I am dibetic (type II) so it has been a challenge. BUT I am here to say this type of exercise works. I am down from 4 pills to one and from 2 shots a day of insulin to one and in small amounts. My Endocronologist is in support of what I am doing and it is making him happy, even though it cuts my visits down from four times a year to one.

I do have a job which makes an eating schedule difficult sometimes, but I do my best (self employed contractor). I am not looking to compete in any bodybuilding comps., but I do like the look and the feel of being healthy.

AND most of all I like lifting weights and talking to other who like to lift weights.
ALSO Please be patient with me, as I am a little new to forum use and all of the lingo that goes with it.

Welcome bro. You have done a lot of work already to be proud of. Of course the Doc wants your money but more so he wants to see you healthy. In fact I bet you are one of his favorite examples he uses with his clients. You will find lots of helpful info here. Keep up the good work!

That is great progress. I see no reason that a person that has come as far as you have should be flamed for anything. You know if anyone had gained as much weight as you have lost they would be the talk of the town. I respect your achievements and hope to help and follow you through many more to come.
