The Ascent from Rock Bottom

adhl37

Hey MFP,

Long story short, I used to be pretty fit, went to the gym, and what not. Then I got a job and haven't had time to make my own eat breakfast nor make my own lunch out of laziness and lack of time. I ballooned from 150 to 160 within 8 months and I feel disgusting. I had a gym membership that I signed up for in February of this year but havent been since and lost all motivation. Just this morning, my pants didnt fit, my shirts are all tight, and I looked down at my stomach and realized that it isnt, "tomorrow" that I will start, but TODAY. I just need some encouragement and people that will help me stick on the right track.

So hey, my names Andrew. Nice to meet you & lets do this together.

With only 10 lbs. to lose (Ballooning? Really?), set your goal to .5 lb. per week, and be patient. Log everything you eat & drink accurately & honestly. Logging is simple, but it ain't easy.
