Hi all. I am Samantha and I've been a member of this site off and on and can never really seem to get it together. I figured today was as good a day as any to try and get back into things since I have a consultation with a "health advisor" at my gym today.

I started at 320 pounds and am currently at 312.9. I am a writer/novelist, so I spend a fair amount of my time sitting on my butt in front of a computer. It's hard for me to get motivated because I typically feel like time away from my computer is wasted. I could have been using it to work, so that's a mindset issue to get over. I am trying to get to be more active as well as trying to eat better and could use all the motivation, support, tips, and tricks that anyone is willing to give.
