New From AZ

Happy Wednesday, everybody

I'm Ahmed from Arizona. Been overweight since I was a child and it's been a slow but steady gain since I was about 18. I would like to qualify for health insurance (I have coverage through work but it's absolutely awful) and would therefore like to get down to about 150 lbs... which is going to be quite a task. I work in tech support full-time, so I spend a lot of time sitting in a cubicle and due to the high stress I'm too tired to do anything when I get home. I'm always "waiting" for the right time to start exercising (last excuse is that it's 110 degrees outside, who wants to jog in that?!), and quite frankly, whether it's laziness or an authentic lack of energy to get started on exercise I need to just DO IT already. I'm hoping that joining a community like this will be helpful. I tried weight watchers, and it worked great... I just couldn't afford to keep going.

At any rate, I really hope that I can make some fitness friends and get lots of inspiration to get off my ever-increasing in size butt!
