Embarrased to do this (my starting pic)

[Hollyer]

Hey there!

I'm 21yrs old and been fat since i was 5
Been very much in denial with this whole thing. Making promises i'd do something about it and never do a thing! Can't say that i've failed trying cause i dont think i've ever truly tried.
Well..my life changed a month ago, my mom had a stroke and i lost my father 9yrs ago cause of the same reason. Really scared my whole family and we're all trying to be healthy.
This pic is taken a lil less than 2 months ago. That's my nephew i'm holding. Would be nice to teach him a healthy way of living too

Well.. I'm from Finland n we have kilos here lol so I'm not 100% sure how much i weigh in lbs. I'm very sorry
I think it's about 277 n my goal is 160 eventually. so about 117 ahead!
Seems like a huge thing and i know it's going to be hard! But i really have no choise right now and i hope making this public will help me.

We'll see!

Hey welcome! I'm new here as well

I just want to say that although your goal seems like a big one, you can accomplish it. Anyone can accomplish anything they put their mind and effort into. I find it is a struggle to lose weight just because of old habbits, however I never thought I'd be able to do it, and now I'm over halfway to my goal! So I just want to welcome you here and encourage you in your weight loss journey!

Congratulations on your courage! I know you'll get to your goal and I'm sure everybody on here who gets to know you will support and encourage you on your journey. We're all in it together, that's the beautiful thing.

All the best - I can't wait to see your after pics!

Btw, what is Finland like? I've always wanted to go there.

Hey and thank you for all the replies and support!
10lbs down so far. Slow start but like i'm gonna complain

About Finland..hmmm..well, Finland is nice Very beautiful during summer. So green and peaceful and it gets pretty hot too! Rainy and wet fall and spring but winter is so amazingly beautiful too. You're from australia i see so if you dont want too big of a shock, check it out during summer. But if you want to experience something totally new and different and can take freezing cold, winter is awesome


See you all soon

Hey, and welcome! You have the same goal as i do..and we both started out nearly at the same weight (me at 276). Trust me, if I can do it, you can do it (and I do too have been over weight all my life).

Start a journal if you haven't already, and I"ll stop on by.

Thanks Hollyer, those pics are gorgeous. I'd love to see Finland in any season, I don't mind the cold. In fact, I hate the heat; Australia is way too hot for me and too sunny! I'm serious, I don't like it at all!
Take care.
