Well first of all i would like to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Andrew and i am from Toronto, and a 4th year university student. In April i decided i was sick and tired of being a 260lb person, (height of 5"10). One day i decided to start eating healthy, and actually putting use to the gym membership that i had. I stayed in Toronto until the beggining of July, and my efforts were paying off. At that point i had managed to get down to 215lbs, through eating properly and running at the gym every day i started to really slim down. I was eating aprox 1600 calories a day, and i had built up enough tolerance on the treadmill to jog for 4-5 miles a day. I decided at the end of June that i would come out to Halifax for the summer, and immediately got a gym membership out here as well. I have been here since July the 3rd and am happy to report that my weight is 195 pounds. I have gone from a size 40" waistline, to a 34-36. And i have thrown out most of my clothes that were marked XL, or XXL and am wearing L t-shirts. I have even had to start poking new holes in my belts as none of my 1 month old, size 36 pants were able to stay up without one! In the 4 months that i have been doing this i have been challenged more then i have in my entire life but everything is starting to come together. I am happier, everyone see's the new me that i knew i could be. I feel great, and i am for the first time starting to feel like i am actually getting into shape. (And i have lost about 65lbs)
And so i have joined this forum in hope to keep motivated. I am looking to lose another 30 or so pounds (weight of 165). I know that i needed to do something to A) keep me motivated and B) would help me keep the weight off, so i decided to join this forum where i could find and interact with people who were going through similar experiences and changes. I look forward to meeting many of you, as we go through our journeys to a happier and healthier lifestyle. thank you!
