hey peeps, newbie here...

Whelp - I woke up this morning, peed and stepped on the scale, just like every other morning. Only this time, the number on the scale went up higher than it ever has before. Sure, I've been fat for a while now, morbidly obese if you will; however, I've somehow managed to maintain the same weight, without going over, ever, for almost 2 years now. Until this morning, when I exceeded that number…by 7.3 freaking pounds!!!!!

So, now I am feeling really icky and gross… I am sad and mad at the same time… But more importantly, I am now determined to lose this weight. Apparently, my weight will just go up up up now - and I don't want to be 350 pounds wishing I was still 310 pounds, or 400 wishing I was still 350, and so on and so on… I'm still in shock that I am even in the 300 pound range and I've been here for two years… Oy vey…

Anyway, this is it, I'm going to do this. Maybe this weight gain was exactly what I needed to wake myself up and get serious about this?? All I know is that starting today, I will choose wisely what I put in my mouth and track religiously and drink lots of water and sweat doing some form of exercise for at least 30 minutes EVERY day. I had started to blog on here, and on wordpress as well, though I've been slacking with that as much as I've been slacking at this getting healthy thing…but no more! Starting today, I will also write at least once a week, if not more than that. I'm also thinking of taking some before pictures and maybe scrapping the journey from start to "finish"… I digress - regardless of how much I get into this whole thing, meaning anything above and beyond tracking calories and exercise, I'm going in 110% this time and the weight WILL come off, whether it wants to or not...

Now that it is written it is so...

And hey, if there's anyone out there looking to lose 100+ pounds, who wants to buddy up and support each other via the world wide web, give me a shout!! I'd love to have someone to share daily or weekly war, err, weight loss stories with…

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ONE THIS JOURNEY…

I am trying to lose 80. Wife needs to lose 100+ and that is a problem she hasn't decided to tackle fully.

Thanks guys!!!!!

I know I will get there (eventually), as will we all, as long as we really work hard at it. I'm actually excited to go home and have a healthy dinner and sweat for 30 minutes, haha... ; )
(Hope this enthusiasm lasts - I feel like it will as long as the scale reflects these changes, LOL)
