I've been here for a little while. I've just not been that sociable. I figure it is time to say hi.

I started here like most of you...I got to a point where I need to change and it is time to get brutally honest with myself.

I looked in the mirror and practically didn't recognize the person in the mirror. It isn't the image I expected to see. This didn't happen over night, this has been building for years. I looked at the scale one morning and reality sank in. 2 4 9...I had one thought at that moment. I'm not crossing 250, I was borderline buying the next largest size of clothes and 250 was a boundary I didn't want to cross. I thought it just isn't going to happen, I won't cross that weight. At 5'7 that puts me into type II Obese..boy that hit like a tons of bricks.

For me to pull this off, I needed a plan.

So the last week of May, I decided on a goal. By June 2015, I'd like to weigh in at 199. I joined a gym, something I never thought I would do. I've been working out 30 minutes a day for 5 days most weeks, sometimes RL gets in the way.

I got MFP to basically see what I'm taking in. You can't change unless you know what to change.

I've read a bit here while I was stationary cycling and walking on the treadmill. I think I'm finally over the self-conscious period at the gym. Sort of like here, so here I am. HI.
