On my way back to 180...
My name is Rich. I'm a 32 year old guy trying to rediscover the elusive 180lbs that I left 10 years ago. Years of graduate school stress (and subsequent libations) coupled with 3 years in the office cube farm (full of temptation) left me at an all-time high weight of 257 lbs.

I moved to Portland, OR in July, 2011, via Atlanta, GA. Portland has been good to me thus far in terms of living a healthier lifestyle. So far, I've lost almost 30lbs since February 2011. I still have a long way to go until I reach my goal, but I'm proud of the progress I've made thus far.
I'm still looking to connecting with some Portland Sparkers! I hope that sharing my story and being a point of support in this great network might help someone else on their journey.
