Re comitting myself!

Options
So the first time I tried I lost 20 pounds was doing great but then quit after 1 cheat meal turned into a cheat week etc. But this time I'm back for good! I just got married and have more motivation then ever! ( wife says if I don't stop snoring I gotta sleep on the couch lol). But I've been reading a lot of success stories and I really am excited to start. I think a big part of succeeding is support so I'd love to have anyone n everyone add me so we can help each other! Thanks!

    You got this man. One of the things my wife told me when I dropped the first 60 pounds was "You don't sound like you are going to die in your sleep anymore". :-D

    The first step is the biggest step and you've taken that by re-committing and joining MFP. Best of luck on your journey!! You can do it :)

    Good luck! You are definitely in the right place.

    On a side note. Several have mentioned snoring and even stopping breathing in their sleep. Sleep apnea is a serious condition. Snoring is often a precursor to sleep apnea. Sleep apnea has been linked to many serious health issues. They range from weight gain all the way to congestive heart failure/heart disease and in severe cases death. Not trying to alarm anyone, but you may want to do a sleep study and have it checked out. The only reason I bring it up is because I had no idea what it was until I was diagnosed with it. After being on a CPAP for the last 8 months, I realize how tired/awful I felt because of the apnea.

    I've tried mentioning this to my husband. Unfortunately, he's one of those "I'm indestructible" types :grumble:
