It's no longer a diet when you make it a lifestyle!

Hey everyone,

I was actually forced to join by a couple of friends so I could track my progress lol, and now I'm actually really glad they made me do it. I've been wanting to lose weight since I can remember, but I never had the right mind set. I was never successful at losing much because I always did it for the wrong reasons, but after actually sitting down and thinking about it long and hard, I've found out why I want to lose this weight.

Not only to improve my self, but to help out my younger brother. I want to lose weight to feel better about my self, to actually like the way I look, and to have a long and happy life, but most importantly to show my younger brother he can do it too. When we were younger, he was the little guy, always skinny, but once high school came around he started packing weight. Now he's gotten bigger than me, and this is my way of being a role model to him (at least I hope.)

It's only been a couple of weeks since I joined, but I'm really digging the calorie counter, the tracking of food and workouts, and the community. And I noticed I've been catching myself counting calories and stuff at random places and going wow, that's a lot more fattening than I though lol. I can truly say now, that this time things are going to change for good, because I no longer see what I'm doing as a diet, I'm seeing it as a change of lifestyle.

So this is my Intro I guess, thanks for stopping by, please feel free to add me as a friend to track my progress and what not. Let's help each other achieve our goals, because sometimes someone saying WTG or nice going, is just the little push we need to keep going! :bigsmile:
