in Introduce Yourself
This is probably my 100th start In the last few years. I start, do well, but loose motivation and stop.

I am finally hitting rock bottom. 28 years old, been over weight my whole life, finally hit 330lbs. I live a minimal active lifestyle, I dont work, I stay home to take care of my family. I still dont have support, but I am hoping to find the support here with other people in the same situation to keep me going.

I plan on just tracking everything over the next week, just to get an idea of what I have been eating then adjust from there.

    That's a perfect way to start.
    I started by making small gradual changes, I could never keep it up by going "cold turkey" on everything all at once, I've been on here for over a year now and it's probably the longest I've ever done.
    Good luck

    I think it takes "several" starts for most of us trying to lose weight make major lifestyle change. Hang in there!! Glad you are back.

    Thank you, I eat fairly good to begin with, it's just my portions that are out of control. Also lately I drink my calories, which I hope to cut down and learn to control.
