35 year old Gay RN who has seen far too many bad outcomes from obesity where I work to be willing to put up with my weight issues any longer.
I've been bouncing between 300-315 for the past few years, but am trying once again to make a real, dedicated commitment to dropping about 100 pounds before I finish up my BSN (probably 3 or 4 years away).
I do a lot of cooking, am trying to walk my dog more, and would like to get into good enough shape that I can bike to work (only 4 miles away, but LOTS of hills).
For now I'm working with just increasing my activity and basic calorie reduction - actually measuring out servings and that sort of thing to remind myself what a portion really is. Can already feel some difference (I don't leave the dinner table feeling completely stuffed any more).
Could always use support/suggestions/motivation.
