Welcome! Each journey begins with a first step. Just take things one step at a time and you will find yourself happier, healthier and smarter along the way!0

Set goals and write them down. Not weight goals, those are the side effects. Things you want to do on a day to day basis, or new activities you want to take part in but can't or won't because of your weight. Like this walking and swimming that could be the first steps towards going to the gym, or hiking, rock climbing, whatever
Setting these goals will give a purpose and rewards and all sorts of nice subtle incentives to your journey. At some point you will question your choice of going through this hard change, and that list will help you kick your self doubts aside
Good luck!
I second this!! Welcome to the site0 -
Oh geez.. add me. Loved the reference, btw...fat, drunk and stupid...you are either an Animal House fan or an Artie fan...either way is a win-win.
Thanks! Yes both Animal House fan and big Artie fan as well. He is awesome. I met him once a few years ago and in person he made me laugh so hard. I told him I looked up to him a bit a big guy who makes people laugh, he thanked me, but seemed sad. I thought I annoyed him so I quickly left... looking back, it was during the time he was into his drugs/depression phase... so maybe he felt bad. Anyhow.

Ya joined a wonderful site for support. And you're right, fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life. I hear that 80% of weight loss is from a healthy diet, so don't worry too much about exercise until you are able to do it comfortably. Swimming is an awesome idea, because in my opinion it is really fun, so you can burn some calories without trying too hard. Walking also does wonders in the beginning. That's how I lost so much at first.
Good Luck friend! And feel free to add me for support!!0 -
Oops, forgot the most important thing..Congrats for taking this journey for your health! This place has been great for keeping me accountable! I hope it works well for you, too.0

Don't wait....start now, right this minute. Walking is your best friend right now. Even if you only make it half way down the block, eventually it will be 3/4 of the way and then the whole block.
You can do this!0 -
Hey, how's it going?0

sounds fun to me.0

Wow, didn't know this topic was still active. Update, I've lost almost 70 lbs and this Keto diet is amazing. I am walking better, and even pulling out old clothes I used to fit into. Thanks everyone!0

Hi, good for you for starting..... Today is day three for me and I have lost 3.2 lbs. We have a biggest loser contest in town but I think I like being anonymous and so I am not joining...... I have gained all my weight on a lot of booze (especially beer!), bad eating and no exercise. I know I am an emotional eater (drinker) and I am not very happy with my life right now. I think that if I dig my head outta the sand, start looking after myself that I could make my life better for myself and my family. (I have three kids and 2 are following in my footsteps. I was an overweight kid and it was horrible.) I am getting in contact with a counsellor for my emotions and have quit drinking......I haven't started exercising but I did find some old exercise dvd's. I wish we had a pool where I live because my knees are always sore. So I am dieting and will save to buy a gym membership. Good luck to you. Great job on the 70 lbs. Keep moving forward.0

Wow! This "topic" or "thread" - whatever it's called - caught my attention KWIK! I just got on line with myfitnesspal last night, and had used a Fitbit some time ago, but only found it again last night. Today is my 62nd birthday, and 37th anniversary in Alcoholics Anonymous. I'm a retired Army NCO (Signal & Quartermaster Branches) and a medically-retired psychologist (had a bunch of strokes,) Moved to Sierra Vista AZ almost 2 yrs ago from Boston to "walk in the desert and hike the mountains," but broke my leg a few months after getting here. I fell off a curb while looking at motorcycles. I'm a diabetic, and the damned thing has never healed completely or correctly. If there's anyone out there interested in picking up an old, fat friend, just give me a response/call/whatever!0
