Hello,

My name is Justin. I've gained at least 50 pounds since highschool. That was 11 years ago. I've been losing and gaining back weight for the past 4 years and found it difficult to make a change that I could stick with. I joined a 'Biggest Loser' competition at my work 2 weeks ago and since then have lost 8 pounds. I'm sure most of that is water weight, but I still feel good about it. I've been eating much healthier and just started tracking my nutrition and excercise on this website and I hope the competition and the fact that I have a team of 2 other people that I don't want to let down will keep me motivated to make my eating habits changes permanent. For now, I don't have the cravings for the junk food I'd eat late at night before bed and I've found some healthy foods that I find pleasurable. I'm in a basketball league at work and just got finished with a game a couple of hours ago. I didn't get tired in the middle of the game like I usually do, and I was able to run a lot more than I'm used to. I think this is a good sign. Thanks for reading and I hope to bring more good news in the coming weeks.

Justin

    Welcome to the club Justin. I hope you continue on your journey of a healthy lifestyle. I too would snack late night after I got out of work on the high fat, high calorie food. The sweeter the better. The more chocolate the better. I know go for dry SpecialK for my late night snack. I know it's still bad to snack at that time but when I work night (3x a week) I don't always get the chance to eat all my dinner and maybe I get to squeeze in a snack.Just know that you have a lot of people on this site ready to cheer you on when you need it. If you are looking for a friend to offer words of encouragement or to try to talk you out of some bad food choices just add me.It is comforting to know that I have the will power to just say NO! to those foods that I would not even think twice about eating before. Good Luck on your goals and we are here if you need us!! :bigsmile:
