Hello everyone.
It's nice to meet you.
At the heaviest I weighed 255 lbs. I am 5'4". I have already dropped to 223 as of this morning (Hooray!) and I look forward to losing some more weight. I originally did this using a different set up, where I kept a hand written food journal, and really tried to work out 3 days a week. I mainly used this sites app to help calculate calories burned for swimming to have a more accurate journal.
Well, due to the economy, I no longer have my gym membership. I'm not going to have a place where I can go and burn and come home. I don't want my weight loss to end, but it has really demotivated me. I figured if I came to the site, where others are doing what I'm doing, maybe I can get some support that will motivate me. And in return, support those going through the same struggle.
I'm not all that familiar with forums, so I apologize if I am doing this wrong. But I don't really have a lot of support at home. My boyfriend of 4 years is already mostly in shape, and he doesn't want to watch his portions or skimp on the butter. It's been so difficult, I just feel a bit lost. Hopefully here, I can be found.
