in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys. I'm just coming back from a couple years of slacking off. I lost 125 pounds a couple of years ago. Never got to my goal, but got to where I wasn't the fattest guy at work anymore... and then I got married and started grad school and got distracted. Gained it all back. Had to buy a new scale, which informs me today that I weigh 504.8.

I feel gross. I'm getting winded just walking around. It's time to change this garbage... and I'll take all the encouragement you can give me.

    With a lot of weight to lose, you only have to start making small changes to see a difference. My dad passed away at the age of 53 which was basically brought on by lots of weight related complications. You're still young enough to have a full, active life. Go for it!

    You've lost weight before you can do it again.

    Don't focus on all the weight you have to lose. Take it a meal at a time a day at a time a pound at a time.

    You will have bad days. Sometimes you might have bad weeks. Don't let that discourage you. We all face times like those.

    Just keep going, keep logging, and keep fighting.

    Every day is a challenge for all of us for one reason or another. You came back to mfp, so I'm happy for your decision to make it work again. And it will work again. Faith in your self is very important. Don't be discouraged for any setbacks, we all have them. Every last one of us. Glad to meet you. Cheers!
