Hi all,

My name is Scott. I have been struggling to lose weight my entire life and have now ballooned up to 360 lbs. I need to get healthier and need to lose weight desparately. I have trie dbefore but have not had the discipline to continue the journey. I do not know if I can push past the wall this time, but the more I try the more I can move forward.

    Welcome Scott. Feel free to friend me if your interested. Maybe we can help each other. I’m currently 30 pounds heavier than you. I have started this process many times before, ultimately gaining it all back plus some. I have had some major revelations on this journey that I think makes all the difference.

    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.

    Buy a food scale. Weigh everything you eat and log into the food diary.

    Good luck with your journey!
