Hello everyone!

I'm a 27-year-old school teacher and currently in Seminary studying to be a pastor. I've recently joined this site as a means of holding myself accountable to losing weight. I've struggled with my weight off and on, and I've decided to take it more seriously. My hopes for committing to this is not only to drop my weight, but also to be a more healthy and responsible individual with my life. I'm currently 210 lbs., and my current goal is to be 150 lbs. I know it will be a challenge, but I'm up to it! Hopefully I can find some users on this website to encourage me and hold me accountable as well. It's easy to fall into temptations when you have no one to guide you, but the battle seems less scary when you have others on your side fighting for the same cause. I can use all the prayers and encouragement that I can, and I'll be sure to be praying for others as we lose weight and become healthy.

Thanks!

Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Welcome to the site. I'm fairly new myself (almost 3 weeks now) but you are right it is more encouraging when you have a support system to help you along. I know that I am a slow looser and so far in the past 3 weeks I have been more determined than before. I you would like to add me as a friend, I am willing to try to help you along.
Good luck,
Monique
