Hi there. I am Jim. I have been a large white mammal for a long time now. I am in the Navy stationed at Pax River. My goal is to lose about 40 lbs so that my uniforms fit me better. I am currently at about 295ish. I have been using the myfitnesspal app for about 3 weeks now and I have already lost 10 lbs. I have a long way to go but because of my current situation with my family and the stress of home and work ( may be getting divorced) I am falling into a rut again. I get sad when I think about my situation and I want to shove Mike and Ike's and Milky Way's down my throat 4 at a time!!! But I have doing my best by doing something so simple and easy. I drink water. It really fills me up and the walk to the bathroom is a really simple exercise!! ( that last part was a joke) Anyway I am glad to see that there is a group there that I can use and they can use me. I look forward to posting more good news and success in my future weight loss program. Stay strong and hope to hear for you soon. Thanks. Jim Freels

    Good luck Jim! I'm new to MFP as well and so far so good. Do you have a workout routine planned yet to help you with your weightless? Good luck, and continue to stay motivated

    I really don't have a plan. I am just working out as much as I can. I just did my BCA(measurments) and I was off a half an inch everywhere... boo!! So I have another chance in a month. I know that if I keep up my moto and get my butt in the gym as much as I can then I will be able to do it.. the only bad thing is that when you lose weight, you start from the top down. Maybe I should do all my exercising upside down!!!! Thank you all for the support and I can't wait to to update you all with my results.

    V/r,
    Big Jim

    Hey Big Jim!
    I know this thread is about two months old but I just wanted to see how everything is going! I missed out on a big promotion becaue I was overweight. That really kicked started me getting back into shape, plus my uniforms were getting uncomfortably tight :mad: I'm right there with you.

    Mmm Hmm. I know all about the tight uniform bit. Looks like we're all making progress though. Keep up the good work everyone!
