I've been lurking around on this site for a while now and it has really helped me loads so the other day i decided to join and now have some before and durings pics of myself up. Before we get to that though i just wanted to let you guys and gals know that i'm a 19 year old guy who had started his weight loss journey alone...that changed real quick though when my family saw that i had the determination to lose this weight so now even if i've only instilled the notion of thinking before they eat something then i feel like i've accomplished something at least...

It's refreshing to find people though that know what you're going through and that's what i've found on here through reading logs and looking at the transformations, it has really made me conscious of my health and what I can...no need to do to get it in order.

Now I have lost 2 pant sizes(was a 44 and can now fit into a 40!) and I watch what I eat. I thought that all that stuff was hard before but now i realized that the hard part is sticking to it. I mean i'm not ultra hardcore on my diet but i have cut out most if not all unnecessary calories and i learned that if i mess up a little then its okay, just realize your mistakes and strive not to do them again. Also i quit smoking in January and i had heard time and time again that i would gain more weight and i didn't want to push over the 300 mark.

Anyways though i just wanted to come on here and start this log to let you guys keep up with my progress and hope you can find some inspiration out of it like i have found out of the many stories i have heard and seen on here.

BEFORE:(January, 2009)
PANT SIZE: 44

CURRENT
PANT SIZE: 40
 
I really love these forums haha. ive been reading on here all afternoon and it wasnt enough anymore that i only did my workout in the morning...oh no i needed to work out tonight and im glad i did! i broke my own personal time and i feel that much better about myself! did you ever notice that when you get in the rhythm of working out that you want to do it even more? i have more energy, i want to do more, and needless to say i actually get it done!
 
Its great you have started a diary and congratulations on your loss so far :)
 
haha i'm a big fan of the forums too. i sit here and read all sorts of stuff and lose track of time sometimes. it's a bit ridiculous sometimes.
 
ha, me neither. i just don't get some stuff done cause i'm too busy reading up on weight loss. it's all good.
 
Well i'm very focused on it right now, i have 47 days until my 20th birthday, by that time i want to drop to 250 from wherever i'm at now. i weighed myself 4 days ago and i was 284.2 so im just seeing how hard i can push myself with my own little personal challenge. If i am below 250 by my bday though, i'm definitely gonna be one happy mofo =]
 
that's alot of weight in a short amount of time--you better be bustin' your ass!! i'm rootin' for ya. then you better treat yourself to something if you achieve that goal.
 
I know exactly what i'll treat myself to...a new tattoo! i was worried about it stretching or distorting with my weight loss but after reading through yjtj's before and after i know that it wont really be that big of a deal =]
 
oh that's fun. yeah, i don't know much about tattoos or anything. i've always wanted one on my side, but i'm too big of a wimp!
