About

Hi everyone,

Thank you for stopping by to check out my blog. My name is David and I am a recent graduate at the University of Denver. I have been overweight/obese for as long as I can remember and am working on losing that weight and changing my life in a positive way! This blog is a documentation of not only the physical journey of losing weight but also a documentation of what it truly means to change a lifestyle. My goal for the blog is to be a place where a community can get together and discuss how they see positive change being practical and beneficial. I hope to talk with you soon!

~David

Looks like you’ve been doing fantastic on your weight loss! I’m still in the beginning stages of my weight loss efforts, and I’m finally reaching the point where I’ve realized “I can do this!” And it’s always inspiring to read success stories from people going through exactly what I’m going through.

  Thank you so much! I appreciate you looking at this. It doesn’t matter where in your journey you are as long as you are trying. Keep up the good work and I hope to hear more about your story.
  
  Also as somewhat of a lyricist myself, I look forward to reading your writing!

  Thank you! It is true, we all have different journeys and goals, but we can build those journeys together and build each other up to reach our goals, to me that is the beautiful thing about friendship and about the blogging world!

I just wanted to wish you good luck with your weight loss! I’ve struggled a really long time and still have a ways to go before I reach my own goals, but getting my friends and family in the know and involved has been SO helpful. I hope you find the same kind of encouragement and support, blogging about it is a great way to go!

Keep it up 🙂

  Thank you! I really appreciate that wonderful comment. You are absolutely right without my family and friends I have no clue where I would be right now 😀 I hope that you reach all of your goals as well and know that with support and determination you can do anything you set your mind to!
