Morbidly obese and taking no prisoners

I have finally got my head back in the game and am 2 weeks into my journey. I came out here to the community looking for inspiration and just about gave up. I don't need someone to critique my plans and tell me what I should be doing, I just want people to share the journey with and not feel alone. I know what works for me and it looks like you do too! I just read your last 2 months on here and smiled, laughed and cried (sorry, I'm such an emotional girl) at your posts! You are creating a movement and inspiring in the BEST way possible, actions speak so much louder than words! Thanks for sharing your journey! I need to lose about 150 pounds and can already feel the difference in just 2 weeks back at it. My favorite exercise is Spinning and I am back on the bike and making great progress. I have a long, steep driveway and 2 weeks ago I had to stop 2 times and catch my breath to come back up it after taking out the garbage. I get up at 3:30 a.m. to do this because my driveway goes up the middle of my 2 neighbor's yards and I don't want them to witness how bad I struggle to do such a simple task! Just 2 weeks in and I made it up the driveway without stopping!!! I was breathing hard and had to catch my breath at the top, but I made it! I'm so excited and thinking maybe in another 2 weeks I might be able to perform the task at normal business hours! Lol. I have to admit when I started reading your post, I half expected it to be a short lived effort like so many of the other threads of people who start and fade away. I am so impressed you are sticking it out and making it happen! I will definitely be back to see your progress and report on mine! Keep up the great work! 😊

I hope you continue to post even if there was a blip in the road! You have an engaging way of writing, and interesting ideas for exercise! You helped me get inspired to keep moving, though only walking, not running yet.

Hello everyone! This thread is pretty old by now but I'm going ahead and resurrecting it because I'm actually the guy that made this thread. I have a different account for various reasons and a lot has happened between the time of the last update and now.

For instance, the last weight recorded was 380. I am right now at 357 have a completely different job that is very physically demanding, live in a city 2 hours away from where I used to live. I have a fiance whom I am marrying this October. I am restarting the C25K program, back at my kettlebell and mace training but something I am now doing that I wasn't back then is that I have started to practice Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Anyways, I'm excited to be back and keep getting at my goals.
