my journey

Well im 7 days into this diet/exercies plan. I want to lose weight and live a heathier lifestyle so badly. I am 42 years old and heavier than i have ever been in my life. I have always been on the heavy side but over the past two years i have let it get way out of control. Its time for a change! I have been around 200 lbs give or take most of my adult life and didnt really work at it as I was active with work and play. Two years ago i got an office job where i work on a computer all day long..dont get me wrong i love my job but the down side is there is very little physical activity so i have lost alot of muscle and gained alot of weight...I weighed in at 260 seven days ago and this morning I weighed in at 255. But even though i lost five lbs i still have had a rough couple days..just wanting to say screw it..i need patience first and i could use support second. My mom keeps telling me i rock for doing this but really she is the only one. Most of my friends are already sick of hearing me talk about calories and the exercise i have done. I also have quit smoking ...31 days today YIPPEEE :-) i have quit smoking before and went back and forth with it over the years. This time needs to be the last time i quit!! i know i can do this but it would help if i had some friends to talk to and support eachother..so if you are interested send me a friend request.
