Hello Everyone,

Im new to the site and Im hoping that i really reach my goals this time. Right now my goal is just to get under 300lbs.

A little about me, I started gaining weight after my dad died from a massive heart attach when i was 13. I look like him, and have high blood pressure like him too. When i have gone to the doctor they pretty much count down the years to when i could die because my dad died at the young age of 32. I am 27 now and i dont want to even date to get married and have kids thinking that they might lose me one day. But Im focused on making the change. I hope that i can stay committed and that i get inspired by stories of people here. Then later i can inspire someone else.

Im looking forward to a new beginning.

    Hi and welcome. Both my parents are seriously obese with weight related conditions. My mum has been "dieting" her whole life and I don't want to be messing about with things like that. I know what it is like to be overweight because of your parents habits being taught to you.

    Good luck sweetie. Just remember to plan ahead, make better decisions, and learn what foods and exercise make your body feel good. xx
