Hi All,

My name is Andrew and I’m 23 years old. I’m 5’ 6” and weigh just about 270 lbs. I am at the point in my life where it is time to make a change and support is what I’m looking for. My motivation has always been low due to self image. I hope I get to talk with you all and make some friends along this journey!

Best,
Andrew

    Hi Andrew - remember any good change will result in a positive outcome. Any calorie deficit will make you lose weight... any extra movement in your body will make you healthier. Don't do more than you can handle and start slow.... progress is a huge motivator once you form new habits. Good luck and don't get too discouraged if you find yourself back at day 1.

    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Good luck with your journey!

    Good on ya for taking this step! I started ten months ago after letting myself go for 30 years, and have dropped 117 pounds. You are young, with a great chance to spend the remainder of your life in a whole new body! The only thing I can offer is that motivation will only take you so far - you have to develop a self discipline that involves keeping promises you make to yourself.
