in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! I'm Nick.

I've been trying to lose weight for who knows how long now, and complaining to my friends that I'm the "fat guy" of the group. Well no more! Today is the day I start trying to take care of myself, start eating more vegetables, and learn to cook for my own damned self!

I hope to meet a couple people on here in the Seattle area, and maybe hook it up with some activities to do. So let's get to it!

Good luck to everyone, and I hope to make a couple new friends in the process!

    Hi, Nick. One thing I've learned is that no one can make you change - you have to do it yourself, for yourself. You're on the right track - keep it up! Good luck in your journey! :happy:

    Hello there!! Good luck to you!!! Take it one day at a time!! You can do this...look through the success stories, it helps me when I just dont know if I can do this anymore...its so much easier to be the "fat gir" that laughs at her own jokes about being fat...

    I can promise though, I dont want to go back to where I was, and that this is totally worth it!! :-) Add lots of friends and look for motivation...its all over this site!!

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    Congrats on your new outlook!! You will like this site....there are plenty of great people not to mention this program allows you to more easily see what your adding to your fuel tank on a regular basis. I have meant my weight goals but to insure I do not gain back I still regularly log in and update my stuff. Please anyone reading this you may feel free to send me a friend request. I do allow all of my friends to view my daily food diary in case that may want to see what I am eating ;) Good Luck!!

    Hi! I am not from Seattle but we can all motivate each other! I love to cook (not always healthy because I'm from the South, but I'm trying!) so I could help out some with the cooking part. Feel free to add me and have a great day!!

    Thanks everyone! I didn't really expect such a large response so quickly, so this is an awesome surprise! Thank you for all of your kind words.

    I'm more motivated than ever! :D
