Hey. My Introduction

Well, Since I am leaving my apartment in a couple of minutes, to start losing this weight, I am going to take AS LONG AS I CAN to intoduce myself. Lmao. Joking

My name is Moses. I am 22 years old, and I am a freelance coder, and graphic Designer. I was born and raised in New York City. We're known for good( sometimes not healthy food) I was always the fat guy. I always been picked on, and got into fights because of my weight. I wanted to change that, but school, family tragedy, and depression always got in the way. The reason I want to lose this weight are:

I always, imagined myself, healthy and in normal size, and I feel that I am mature enough to do this.

I always wanted to serve my country as a solider in the US Military. I did Naval JROTC, all through HS, and graduated in High Rate( C/SCPO). So I always wanted to give back to my country.

I want my mom to see me as a strong and healthy guy. It hurts for me to see myself like this

So I am standing up, and taking action. I guess, this is the place for me to get support. I currently weight 400 Pounds( Which is 28 and a Half Stone, according the the brits.) I want to lose 220 pounds. I want to do it before Memorial Day.

My interests are Baseball, Cooking, Yoga, Martial Arts, and Good Movies...

Thanks for welcoming me to the family. Lets, show these calories, that they need to butt out our lives.
