in Getting Started
Leaving the 20's, which was horrible in the areas of health and fitness, so with a new decade, comes a fresh start. Weighed in this A.M. at 398.8, looking to get down to 185. Looking to meet up with any ladies or gents with similar goals!

    Happy birthday! I started out at 200 lbs and through sweat and tears crushed my goals. Anything and everything is possible as long as you love yourself enough to believe in yourself :)

    Started eleven days ago. 52 years old, used to be in shape (military) but . . . anyway started at 254, I'm at 246 now. As someone else said, start with little goals. I measure success a tenth of a mile at a time, man. You got this!!!

    I was just about as large as you when I was 37. Since I know what is required to be that obese, I know how easy it is to stop doing the enormous amount of self-abusive eating that you have to do to maintain that. It's a mental thing. Flip a switch in your mind. You can do it.

    About to leave the 20's as well and I want to be healthy too, just like you and the others who responded. Im weighing in at 236 lbs now and my goal is 145. But four weeks ago, I was at 254...so Steady does it. :) I find that filling in your food diary almost everyday (being honest about it too), staying away from the scale, and trying to go exercise at least 5 times a week are working for me. :) good luck and welcome to the community!
