 Hi Teresa,

Feel free to vent or just blabber on. I have contact daily with one person offline so I enjoy having people to exchange messages with now and then. I know you're right, at 40 I know I'll have to put myself out there to make friends.
I'm sorry to hear about your past drug problems but it's so encouraging to know you trusted God and he led you out of that life. I struggle everyday with my weight and like you've I've had ups and downs, mostly downs until the last year. I know the best in life is yet to come and if I can get healthy and spend it witnessing for The Lord I will be a happy man.

Good luck and write anytime my friend!

Hello Tim,
I just wanted to stop by and see how things are going today? I don't have someone that I am accountable to, except for myself, and know what it's like to wonder if anyone really cares out there. I am not by any means trying to be negative, I just want you to know that, when I ask how you are doing, I am being sincere. They say if you want to have friends you need to be friendly so I'm striving.
This last week I made a commitment to myself that I was going to do some form of exercise for 30 minutes a day and so far I'm doing it, I just pray that I can keep it up. I have this bad habit of starting things, do good at it and then stop. I hate that. I don't have a miraculous story such as yourself but I have always struggled with my weight all my life. It sincerely got worse for me when I quit using drugs back in 1996. Speed/Meth was my thing only because I enjoyed being uppity except I sure didn't look pretty lol. I got into picking my skin and I don't know if you've ever experienced seeing someone on speed, just trust me its not pretty. But I am glad to say that the good Lord delivered me from drugs and an immoral lifestyle and now I choose to serve Him.
Why I went off on all that? I do not know. I guess I just wanted to share something with you that is not really on my spark page.
So my highest was 267 and I'm only 5' 3" tall, a couple of months ago I got down to 239 and I was so excited, last week I went back up to 246 ;-/ and said, enough is enough. I dream of getting under 200 one day and I really want to do it in 2015. I had tried to lose 50 by 50(Dec 29) last year but didn't attain that goal. So I'm trying again. I'm praying to at least lose 45 by June. I believe with the help of the Lord I will make it.
Well so much from my jabber jaws....sorry to have gone on and on. I really take you as an inspiration and I will follow you on your journey.
God Bless you!
