in Introduce Yourself
Old fat guy checking in. High school weight 170. Current weight 240.
Hooked on cokes, cakes, ice cream and fast food.
Dr. is getting on me too.
Did I mention I hate salads too?
Actually walked 2 miles yesterday. My body's been talking to me all day about it too.
So far, it is funner to be fat.

    I love your POST!

    let me try

    Young woman, 28. 2 kids. No pets
    I was Fat.Now I'm Fit.
    Last year I was 162lbs
    Dr. said I'd be diabetic soon
    Dr. said I have high cholesterol
    I said WTH!
    I found TurboFire/Insanity and my support team
    The weight came off
    Current weight 136lbs
    It is more fun to be fit.

    When I was 61 I felt like I was over the hill and too big. I refused to give up hiking. I had got up to 268 lbs. To prove I was still able to do the things that the younger skinnier me used to do. I decided to climb up to the top of a mountain near by. It took me 3 hours but I climbed that sucker. Coming down from the mountain was a little bit easier. Those Life Flight helicopters are pretty nice, but I was not paying too much attention hanging from a stretcher by a cable. I was taken to ER and that is when I found out that I was over the hill and way out of shape. I am now 71 and have had 2 back surgeries, a knee surgery, gall bladder and thyroid removed, and a heart procedure since then. What is so great is I now am in good shape. Six months ago I could not stand without a cane. Now I can walk 3 miles a day. I have lost 28 lbs so far and am still loosing and am able to do more exercise each day. I have a whole new nutritional program. It is truly amazing what you can accomplish on a program like MFP. The encouragement and motivation I receive from my support team is tremendous and I give the same support and encouragement back to them. Whether you are new to the program or have been on the program for a long time. Get yourself a strong support team. You will be amazed how far you can go with them behind you.
