in Introduce Yourself
Hello,

Im on day 2 of my weight loss journey. I am incredibly motivated due to a life threatening hospital stay just a few days ago (Actually had nothing to do with my weight) I am 26 years old and over 350 pounds. I have been single my entire life I feel due to my weight. It almost seems as if most people dont even give you the time of day any more unless you are good looking. I tell ya! society today is corrupt. But that is not my motivation. I want to be healthy, I dont want to die before im 40. So using this site to track my meals and excersise but mainly to find friends and support and I would like to support you as well, please, whatever age whatever gender race Add me, lets support each other in our goals =) I threw out all of my coke I was drinking 2 cases a week, I threw out all the cookies and chips and junk, I am looking for advice from people also on the journey with questions such as, "I see people on my MFP all the time talk about how they had fast food one day of the week or pizza and beer, Is that okay?" Questions like that. so please, Add me!!! I have also started a youtube video Vlog that I want to do daily if you look for MrPapersun =)

    Add me. I am fairly new here, I just joined 1 week ago. I don't have to lose that much weight. But, I will try to motivate you. I will say this website has motivated me by just being on here. When I am home, I always have this site and FB up. It just is the silent reminder to keep on goal.
    I am still struggling with the diet part. I know that I am doing alright with the fact that I am exercising every day and I am cutting back on snacking and what I eat. I have also almost completely eliminated soda from my diet. On the days I did have soda, I had way less than what I would have before.
    If you are looking for exercise videos that is very easy to do and follow at any weight is Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds videos. You can find them at Wal-mart or Target. They usually cost under $20. I have never tried zumba otor anything like that her videos I have been doing off and on for almost 8 years.

    Welcome!

    You're on the right track. Just remember this isn't a diet, it is a lifestyle change.


    Good Luck!

    Good luck to you! The beginning is the hardest, but it will get easier as you go. I started at 315.5 and in 3 months am down 43 pounds. Stay committed, but don't deprive yourself of anything! I have one sweet a day, and just had pizza a few days ago. This is a lifestyle change, and a forever kind of thing. You can do this! Anyone feel free to add me :)
