Hello

Hey, my name's Anthony and I'm here to lose weight. As a kid, I was always chubby. I was aware that I was overweight, but I never really tried to do anything about it. I would eat secretly and I do somewhat consider myself to be an emotional eater. The year before I went to college, I decided to turn my life around and work out and lose some weight. I went to the gym twice a day (about two hours total) and I did manage to lose a good deal of weight. I got down to about 190 lbs which had been the best of my adult life, but when I moved into the dorms I stopped working out and became content with my appearance. Through the years I slowly gained back the weight and over the last year and a half I gained at least thirty pounds. I now weigh the heaviest I ever have at about 260 lbs. I have been aware of this for the last month or so and I have maintained the weight rather than gain more, but I need to loose weight. I am not happy with the way that I look, the way that I feel, and I am not going to force myself into an early grave. I know that I can do this because I have lost weight in the past. This time I will not stop at 190 and be content, I will push towards my goal of 160-165 and I will maintain that weight rather than give up.

That about sums me up, and I look forward to my weight loss journey.

Hi Anthony! Good job at making the decision to take action and lose weight! I too am at my heaviest I've ever been and I am finally making the commitment, and I want to be healthier. The few times I tried to "get in shape" I never really was serious about it and never used any kind of fitness tracker, I hope you find this website as useful as I have and I just joined yesterday :P
