in Introduce Yourself
Well.... I do not want to be on pills anymore that make me feel sick, give me a headache and I am sure are causing damage internally. I am Diabetic, have high Cholesterol and High Blood Pressure. My brother in law has challenged me to help me get through this.

I am 275lbs and he has said if I lose 75 pounds by June 1 2011 he will pay for a trip him and I to Las Vegas....... Now there is incentive and man it is going to be tough but tomorrow October 4 2010 is my first official day of eating healthy and getting back into shape.

Wish me luck!!

    I started out at 365 lbs, and where you are now. Not saying it will do the same for you, but if you eat the right foods, and excerise daily, you can get off all of that.

    Hi and welcome.

    MFP is a brilliant board, There is lots of encouragement and advice, my advice would be - send out some friend requests, encouragement helps greatly, set up your ticker and set yourself mini goals. Small steps are far more achievable than big leaps are

    Good luck

    You CAN do it! At first, the challenge is a bit overwhelming and difficult to get the hang of, but once you settle into it and find your groove, you will be amazed at really just how simple it is. Eat fewer calories comprised of healthier fare and move more. It really is just that simple!

    I am a junk food junky and a lover of food of all sorts. I love to eat! Plain and simple! I am doing it and you can, too! There are lots of recipes and suggestions to help you along the way. Think of things you love to eat/cook and figure out how to make them healthier or portion them to fit into your calorie allotment.

    This site is FULL of encouraging people to cheer you on. You can find friendship, motivation, support, whatever you need right here. If you have any questions, just ask and someone will be along shortly to help you find your answer. I, by no means, have it all figured out, but I have a good healthy start and am excited about both my progress and my future.

    Welcome to MFP!
