Hello everyone! I found these forums a few days ago, and I knew this place was perfect for me!! Lots of encouragement and support. Anyway here is the quick bio....
My name is Mike, I'm 24 years old, 5'11" and 240 pounds, well was. I'm now down to 230 pounds within one week. Most of which was water weight I'm guessing
Up until I was about 12-13 I was actually pretty skinny. As soon as those teenage years hit, and some disasters at home which resulted in me being home schooled the pounds just got packed on.
I went from playing sports daily to watching tv for 8+ hours a day, video games, sleeping till noon, and my hobby was eating junk. Potato chips, chocolate, pizza, tons of fast food.
After I lost both of my parents and became homeless living in my car for almost 2 years, I rebounded and have had a roof over me head for over 2 years now, and a steady job which I am currently happy with. My wife and I got married 2 years ago as well.
The only thing we have left to battle now is our debt and weight. I've reached a point in my life where I am tired of being fat, tired of having no stamina, tired of having to buy XXL shirts, and just feeling disgusted with myself.
I miss playing sports, spending time doing hobbies outdoors, and within a year or two would like to have a child. But our health comes first which is why I am here.
I work semi long hours 830am-700pm Mon-Fri, and my wife and I lived off fast food. Easy and cheap. Now here I am, 8 days into my diet, and each day that goes by I am more dedicated. I look forward to seeking help and even being able to help some of you as well. Thanks for having me!
