First week in the program!

cgunter71

Hey everyone, my name is Chris and I'm 24 from North Carolina. I've been doing the program for a week today, along with walking at least 2 miles a day. And that's no easy task considering it's 95 degrees here every day, but I'm determined to lose weight. As I said im only 24, and 6 feet tall but last week I weighed in at 360 pounds. Which is ridiucuous. So far just doing the right things and walking that much a day I've lost 13 pounds. This is the first time in my life I've truly been able to lose weight, and it is extremely exciting! I would like to thank everyone that I see posting on the forums, because that is one of the reasons I gave this a shot. The support from people that have no clue who you are, but still want to see you succeed is amazing. This site and it's users ROCK!! Keep up the good work everyone!!

Congratulations! I just joined today. I hope that I can do as well as you are. I have a big time problem with sticking to things. I'm praying the social-ness of this site will keep me accountable.

I know the feeling. I had a spell in 05 where I went all annorexic and lost about 35 lbs in a month, but then started eating again, and gained it all back plus an extra 20, so this is the first time in my life I'm truly sticking to a diet and changing my life for the better. The social-ness of this site amazes me, but just get a goal and stick to it..you always have the power.

Congrats on your weight loss so far! You can do it! :glasses:

I joined about 17 days ago and have completely fell in love with this community! Everyone supports each other and I feel BAD if I have a bad day because I feel like I'm not just letting myself down, but other people too! So this place really works for me.

Congrats on those ugly 13 pounds. I'm also in NC and know how you feel concerning the heat. Hey think of the bright side, the hotter it is the more calories you burn.
