in Introduce Yourself
Almost 2 months in and I'm 1 pound away from losing my first 50 lbs. It's one of the most amazing feelings. I'm a college student so I know what it's like to grab the most convenient thing to eat (usually fast food). I've always been a big dude and never taken my health serious. I finally came to the point where enough was enough! All the love and support from my loved ones has truly motivated me to live a healthier life. I hope anyone out there reading this surrounds themself with positive loving people that have your back. It really does make a world of difference. With that said…

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

YOU CAN DO IT! :)

Michael

    Amen to that. I lost the weight, lost a deadbeat husband, then lost more weight. Keeping it off is all accounted to staying away from negative people that keep you down, and surrounding yourself with uplifting people.

    I think we all get to the point where enough is enough and that's a good place to be in because once we make that decision, the commitment is strong. Well done!

    I'm a college student too! I gained 50 plus pounds my second year there. I've lost about half and still got more to go. So I understand all the challenges! Congrats on your hardwork so far! Losing 50lbs is a huge accomplishment and I wish you even more success for the rest of your health journey! Keep up the good work! :)
