Hey All!
No idea what to write here...
I've been overweight forever. Growing up my diet wasn't good but I was pretty active, so I could keep my weight kinda in check. Fast forward through college and early career. Now I'm 35 and I'm a programmer that spends 9 hours a day in front of my computer in my basement. I got a sit/stand desk the other day from Costco and I LOVE it. Anyway, I'm trying to get more active and trying to make better food decisions but I frequently find that my motivation fades and I'd rather just eat the pizza. So, I'm going to go poke around and see if I can find some groups to join, but in the meantime, feel free to connect/friend me (or whatever it is on here). It's always nice to know people going through similar struggles.

Well a good way to start.is controlling portion size and drinking more water and less sugary drinks .
