in Introduce Yourself
My name is Kenny I am turning 27 this fall. I currently weigh 336 lbs... and am not happy about it. I have been through some rough times emotionally which may have had a part in it... but in the end, its my fault for lack of disclipline. As a freshman in HS i weighed 185, in college ( 6 years later) I weighed 225lbs, then this year (5 years later) I weigh 336.

From my HS to college i only gained 40 lbs or 06.66 lbs per year, then from college til this year avg. yrly wght gain was 18.5lbs. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!

Tomorrow (July 7th) begins the new me, and by my bday i WILL look and feel great!

    That's the right way of thinking. Take back control. I was out of control for far to long...started this journal at almost 400lbs...40lbs lighter and I feel great and slowly starting to look better. You can do this!

    You are in the right place! I was 285 on Feb 1st of this year. I weighed in at 222 on July 4th. If you exercise and follow the food journal, its just a matter of time. Your in this for the long haul. You didnt get heavy over night so you wont get skinny over night either. Its a good feeling to donate your fat clothes to Good Will then have to donate the new smaller clothes you bought because they are now your new fat clothes.
