Time to lose a lot of weight
| Thu, 11-17-2005 - 2:21am |
I have just discovered this site. I am 20 years old and have just reached my most weight of my life: 270 lbs. My ultimate goal is to get to the weight that I remember being most satisfied at: 145. 125 pounds. Think I can do it? One of the reasons I have not been able to is because I don't have much support/reason to do it. But now, I've just gotten too big. I don't look like it because I am a bit tall (5'10"-ish) and I have a large frame. But, I'm not nearly as comfortable/confident as I used to be. I don't want to find myself 30, 35, 40 years old, still over 200 pounds. I know that I am severely overweight and I want to do something about it. I've looked at many of the posts here and I think this site and you guys will help me on my quest. I have a good idea of what I am (and am not) going to eat. I am in a bit of a difficult situation as I am living in a place where I only have limited access to the stove/oven, so most of my food is prepared in the microwave or toaster oven. I think I can do it, though. I will be relying heavily on fresh veggies and I will try to open myself up to fruits since I never have really liked them. I know this will take a while and will be hard, especially since I am a very busy college student and working girl (no, not that kind of working girl...lol). I will be keeping a log of my food and exercise which I will have on this site and update it often. I hope to talk to you guys soon. Good luck to me and to you!

Welcome to the board and congratulations on the decision to lose weight. I think it's much easier to lose weight when we're younger. Hope to see you around here often. Good luck!!
