Hello Everyone,
I've been a message board shadow for a while learning quite a bit from reading a lot of your posts. I finally decided to just create an account so I can officially take part in the community discussions. A little bit about me: pretty much been heavy all my life but really started packing on pounds in my late teens/early 20's...tried to diet and exercise (fail) all throughout my 20's and just gave up when I turned 30. Tired of always trying and failing. Not sure what triggered it, cause usually nothing works, but at the end of November 2013 just decided to start making changes for good. I started November 26th (weight was 242 on October 7th was weighed at Dr.'s office). I started keeping a paper journal. If you can trust my home scale I now weigh 215. My goal weight is 165 but would be absolutely thrilled to be under 200. Looking forward to learning more on the boards. Thanks everyone for sharing your knowledge and stories.

Well done We have almost the same story. I was up at 240 when I decided I needed a change and I got as low as 179.8. During the holidays I really slacked off and put 20lbs. back on now I'm back down at 189.8 and have about 20 to 25 lbs. to go and I'm gonna do it. Keep up the good work and feel free to add me if you'd like.0
