edited January 4 in Introduce Yourself
My name is Darren, I live in Victoria, Australia, since I was about 23 I started gaining weight and rapidly, before it started I was a comfortable 77kg (approx 170 lb) at 5'8" for the next 11 years my weight stayed between 110 - 120 kg. On January 30th my partner said to weigh myself, I said ok, why ? She said we are going to start using My Fitness Pal to help us lose weight and I need to put in a starting weight for you, 117.4kg it read, determination, will power, exercise (and portion control) were now my best friends, 10 months later I am happy to say I am almost at my goal, my current weight is 82.3kg (approx 181 lb) with 2.3kg to reach my goal. Don't let anyone tell you weight loss is "easy" even though I have done it in 10 months having he willpower to say no to snacks and some foods has been the hardest thing I've done recently.
I wish everyone well on their weight loss journey
