Operation Feel Good Commencing

missbethea

Hello all! I just started back on the diet and exercise game, signed up for the gym yesterday and started going back today.

I've been wanting to lose weight for a while and it's hard. I have two friends who are going with me to the gym and dieting. I have one of them signed up here (yay) and am going to try to convince my other friend to join.

I'm hoping, in the long run, to lose 75 pounds. I'm at 225 right now and my goal weight is 150.

I'm from North Carolina and would love to find other local friends or people to help encourage me. I feel like my weight loss goal is pretty huge but I know I can eventually do it!

I really want to feel better about myself and just feel better in general. I tried this before and lost 20 pounds but it's hard to keep going when you feel like you are doing it alone.

So I'm glad to be here and I hope to find some great diet friends along the way!

Hi! I am new as well but am also just starting back on diet and exercise. Its great you have so much support! I lost 20 pounds about a year ago as well. I gained it all back when I started dating somebody who liked to eat high fat items and, well, I could not resist. But now we joined together so support is everything! Welcome!

I'm 32 yrs old and I had a heart attack back in April of this year. I was diagnosed with Congestive heart failure. The heart attack I had most don't live through it, is called the widow maker. I was doing good at losing weight and eating healthy but in Sept. my heart doctor said i wasn't able to work anymore. Since then i haven't done to good and have gained what I lost back. I was reading earlier and I realized I'm eating to make myself feel better and now I am regretting it. It is getting harder to breath and its all the salt I have been eating. I know I have got to do better so I will have a longer and healthier life. This is taking an emotional tole on me the past few days and I just don't think I can do it alone. I was hoping there would be someone willing to do this with me.
