Hi Sam,

Don't worry about the abundance of females on this site... we do have some male companions and everyone regardless of sex is helpful and friendly.

I hope you find all the research you are looking for... feel free to ask any questions, everyone here is so warm and willing to assist.

Good luck in your research.

I am working on my date right now I might be a week away from making it , I am totally excited about it though. Its time to change my life I have always thought if I don't like myslef then why would I exspect anyone else to liek me also. It seems harsh but I also know that there are some of you out there that will understand my logic. As soon as i get a date i will tell you and I will be totally excited about it. I hope it does change me for the better i am a pretty level headed person and I honestly hope to stay that way but I have heard of people changing a lot do to weight loss and I really do like my personality the way it is and I hope to keep it, however I know its a drastic change for me also.

If I can keep a level head and be the same person i was once beside my outer looks I will do all in my power to help as many people as I posablely can. Being over weight for life is an awful thing and I am sad for anyone that has to go though life and yes I am VERY over weight right now but I also feel like for once in my life I can see the light at the end of the tunnle and it gives me great hope more then i can even exsplain.
