in Introduce Yourself
So I've decided it's time to change my life. I need to lose about 150 pounds, and I know that's a lot, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes :D

I could really use some support and friends on here, and I'm here if anyone else needs support!

    Welcome:flowerforyou:
    Remember slow and steady wins the race so don't try to lose that weight to fast.

    I have just joined as well. I have found in the past week that keeping track of things and having the network support is what I really need to get going on my goals. I also have learned that it took time to get the pounds on, so it will take time to get it back off and if I can lose just a pound a week, then it will be a lot less a year from now, than if I didn't do anything, as I have been doing.

    So just take it one day at a time. take your time, because change takes time. and it is all a mental game as well. it is all what you put into it, so if you focus on eating right and staying active, then changes will happen. of course we all eat those things that are not good for us from time to time, which is normal, but the thing is not to let it get us down and just dont quit. everything in moderation. i have been making sure that i eat a majority of the good stuff, which makes me feel better, which in turn makes me not even want the bad stuff as much, but when i do eat the bad stuff, i dont feel as bad and i just keep on going. i dont let it get me down. and beginning a life of activity has to begin somewhere. i think it is importnat to get something in every day. but that is really hard when you live fast. so i try at least 4-5 times a week. even if it is just a 15, 20 minute walk/jog, I am still getting out and moving. that is where it begins. starta small. dont try to do too much at once. it usually backfires.

    by the way you do not look like you need to lose 150 pounds in your picture, if it counts for anything. good luck and you can do it.
