Looking to give support and be supported

Hello everybody, My name is DaVida. I'm from Pemberton, NJ. I am 39 years old and weigh 350+ lbs. the + indicates that I haven't bought a scale that goes past 300lbs. At my last Physical (Feb.) I was about 354 or so. I recently bought a new pair of slacks for job interviews. Now I figured that I was playing it safe by buying a size 28, since my size 26s were getting a little snug. So sure of the pants would fit I took them home "site unseen" sort of speak. Well to my surprise, the pants wouldn't go past my butt! Time for a change! While seeking information I ran across some folks on youtube who were doing what I am seeking to do. One of their links led me here. It is good the change your life, rebuild good habits, construct new mindsets, and reinvent your life, but it better to do it with friends. Shoot me a friend request. I'm looking to encourage and be encouraged. Good meeting you.

    Welcome DaVida...I'm on day 2 @ at MFP (My Fitness Pal) and already the positive peer pressure is keeping me honest with food choices..now if this heat would go away I might go outside and get my walk or bike ride in...
