Hello everyone. I look forward to using this site and sharing my ups and downs with like-minded folks. I'm currently at 370lbs at 5'11 in height so you can see I have a long road ahead. I just hope I can truly make this change and for once in my life be a healthy person.

    For sure man. If you want to add me and get a general idea of what your day should look like feel free.

    I'm warning you now, you're going to have to lose a lot of the foods you love. After 2-3 weeks you'll forget about it but it's tough :)

    Welcome and best of luck to you!!

    You can do this if you keep your head in the game, so to speak. It's ultimately your choice and we're all here to help you.
    Personally, I'm of the beliefs, you don't have to give up anything. If you want to have a "clean eating" lifestyle, great. I choose to have a healthy & realistic lifestyle for myself. What do I mean? You don't have to give up anything!! You can eat the things you love. You just need to determine how much you can eat to fit into the numbers.

    Feel free to add me if you want. I'm always willing to help where I can. :)

    Hi! You can do this! I have been struggling with my weight for awhile now too, and I joined this site a couple weeks ago. The support of everyone on here is really helping me and I think it will help you too. So, welcome and I hope you enjoy this site as much as I have in the short time I have been here. Change is hard for all of us - but we are worth it.

    Oh, I forgot - feel free to add me as a friend. I have a couple of friends on here - not many yet. So, I would welcome you as a friend if you are open to making a new one.

    Hi Jason,

    Good for you. I just restarted here last week. I did it two years ago and was amazed at how much easier it was to drop some LB's just by being truly aware of what & how much you're eating. (notice I said "easier" not "easy"!) It really does make a difference in your choices. Do your best and don't kick yourself too much on those days when you blow it, just get back on track ASAP. (This site is great for that too.)

    Best of luck man! Do it!

    Dave
