Hello

fustianriddle

Well hello there. I wanted to say hi to this lovely page and people, and tell you a little bit about myself.
I'm currently 279, was 310. Last year my dad died and I gained a some weight because I was in a pretty big funk, but around July I realized my dad wouldn't have wanted me to be like that, and decided to actually get serious about my health and my weight. I started on fatsecret (which I still use) but I prefer this site's calorie counting, and the larger food database.
Anyway, I'm 28, and just want to be a healthier person by 30 (that happens next year). I am not after a weight, I just want to be a size 14/16 and wear clothes from stores I wish I could shop at.


So besides calorie counting, I decided to buy myself an elliptcal machine, and have started doing at least 15 minutes a day - today I did 30 minutes, which I'm pretty proud about.

So here's to us right? High five everyone!

....ok, I've been watc

That is some pretty heavy stuff to get through. Good for you for taking the steps to live a healthier life.

Hey there, Good luck but by the looks of it I would say 31lbs is a flying start - hearing you about the healthy bit!. watc??? (sorry i am a bit slow)

weight wise pretty similar to me - age as well

at my heaviest i was around 270-275. Before I started medical school I was 257, my initial goal was just to get out of the 'obese' range then re-evaluate from there. all about consistency

please feel free to add!
