A new start

[Bloodrayne]

Hello guys & girls. Just thought I'd take the first step on my weight loss journey by introducing myself.

My name is Robert, I'm 31 years old and a stay at home father choosing to look after my 20 month year old girl. I'm currently 31lbs overweight and have been for the past 3 years and I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I know some off the members will think just 31lbs but it's affecting all aspects of my life as my self-esteem is at an all time low at just 5ft 8in and 13 stone i look and feel alwful.

I gained most of the weight when I started on medication for anxiety (ciltaopram) but being honest I can't blame the medication as I eat for so many reasons other than hunger, boredom, anxiety just to name a few.

I'm starting out on my weight loss journey as of now as I have put it off long enough always waiting for tomorrow which never comes! I've joined to this site for encouragement and support something that I don't get being a single father. I look forward to being active on the forums and getting to know you all and find inspriation from your stories and success.

Bloodrayne,

Congratulations on making the decision to make a difference in your life. 31 pounds is to me as important as 310 pounds. Tell me the plan that you are committed to follow to make this change.

Welcome

Hello Robert, I'm Robb and I want to lose about 30 pounds as well. Being overweight is affecting the same aspects of life as it's doing to you i.e. Self esteem, anxiety.
