Figured I'd crawl out of my little hole and post something

So yeah, I've been perusing the forums for a bit and decided why not I'll finally post something though I am dreadfully loathe to do so (seriously, public speaking and to a lesser extent new situations *cough posting on what's essentially a weight loss/ fitness forum cough* are not exactly my cup of tea ). Basically I started this a while ago and lost track of everything (major life change and blah blah blah I could make excuses but that doesn't really help now does it) and decided its certainly time for perhaps a change so once again I've returned with a (hopeful >.>) vengeance. I'm an almost 30 year old guy who has always been, to put it delicately, "fluffy" as far as I can remember. I've not had all that much in the way of self confidence and what not so anything I've tried usually failed in about a month (again, my fault, not making any excuses because that's quasi pointless). Anyway, I need to do something, if not for my future help, my own outlook on life, then certainly because dang it I'm tired of shopping big and tall (Seriously, have you ever seen the inside of those stores the selection is kinda dreadful its either business, business casual, or full on I'm putting on this t-shirt because I obviously don't care). Anyway I figured I'd post something since I've been casual glancing at the look how much I've lost threads and may be more motivated then ever to try to lose as much as possible and figured I'd say hello since I'm in your forums... reading your posts mucking about the place (yes I'm a bit of a nerd if you haven't caught the references).

Soooo yeah, umm hi =).

    @Judding waaaait a minute bright light? As I said, I'm a nerd, we shun such things =) Kinda like an overly photosensitive Jedi if you think about it... maybe thats why they always have those robes on.

    Don't blame me - you're the one who crawled out of your hole... :)

    Yes, perusing... me too. Just joined mfp on saturday and am limping along, but these success testimonies are such an encouragement... been there/ done that and know I can and will again. You can too and you will if you just keep doing whatever you can... limping, crawling, whatever it takes. At some point it will click in and we too will have a success story to tell. Time to get mad and move out of the jedi robes. Best to you as you grab hold of life by the kahunas! :smile:

    Do you feel better now. You made a healthy choice, put youself out there and that means that you are brave. Embrace healthy decisions.

    Better, perhaps a bit, more than slightly apprehensive, absolutely, but meh I figure if I at least introduce myself and then disappear there is a better chance I will get some help in the form of a random hey where are you. Hopefully I can get something started and change some of the past shenanigans but thanks =)
