Hello everyone! I know this sounds cliche, but I'm ready to lose weight. And I'm ready to do it right. I've been trying for a few years now and it just doesn't ever seem to work. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be happy with myself.

I'm 21 and weigh 351 pounds. My girlfriend is 21 and weighs 225 pounds.

I plan on starting a diary here for our HOPEFUL progress. If anyone has any advice on diets, exercise regiments, or just general lifestyle changes, we would be more than happy to hear it!
 
Welcome and goodluck to you both on this journey

its hard work but VERY rewarding

look foward to reading your journal :)
 
thank you! I will be doing most of the work (I'm Brandon), while keeping her updated. We are looking forward to the lifestyle change!

If anyone has any good resources for diet advice/ meal plans, that would be so awesome.
 
Welcome to the forums, Brandon and girlfriend!

I think it's great that you'll be trying this together, it really helps if you can keep eachother motivated and accountable. You also won't have to buy 'bad' foods for someone else.
 
It's great that you guys are getting healthy as a couple. It will make it so much easier. You already said you were going to start a diary, which is a really good idea. You can get all kinds of tips and feedback from that. Good luck to you both! Welcome to the forum! :)
 
My advice is do it together and be supportive, but don't rely on the other person for you to do what's right. Lead by example and try not to judge. If you both take your own approach to weightloss you are still doing it together. Good luck to you both! Also, I personally have to count calories to have success.
 
Congrats on that decision Brandon! You and your girlfriend working as a team to lose weight is an awesome idea! Having an accountability partner is key to success. With your girlfriend and this forum, there is no reason you shouldn't succeed. Work hard and enjoy the ride bro!
