Hi

Hey so I'm kinda new to this site so thought I'd introduce myself. My names Joe. I've been a big guy all my life and its never bothered me because it ran in my family. About a month ago I decided I wanted to start losing weight so I can feel better and shed some of the unwanted weight. I started reading some of the threads and they really are an inspiration. I figure I can get some help here too if need be. This probably sounds cynical but one of the main reasons I wanna lose weight also is so I can go skydiving lol. My main goal is to get down to 240 just to do that but I'd like to get down to 200 altogether. I lost 15 lbs in my first month (I started at 343 but rounded down to 340) and hope to get down to 240 by January. Thanks for listening

Welcome Joe. Glad you're on here with a goal in mind. I think having a goal is one of the biggest & first steps. A lot of good people on here to give you support. Good luck!

Hey Joe! Welcome! Congrats on your initial weight loss. And it's definitely not cynical to have a real goal (skydiving) to keep you motivated!

One of the main reasons I've decided to lose weight is because most of my family is obese. All I hear about them complaining about it, and I don't want to be like that. It's also a good idea to lose the weight because you will be healthier in doing so. One thing I'm looking forward to is being able to have kids and teach them how to be healthy and fit, and be able to keep up after them!
