Hi everyone! This is my first time on these forums, and it looks like an amazing place full of support and advice. Here's just a little about myself.
I'm a male, 24 years old, 250 pounds (I know... horrible, right?). I'm starting medical school and I'm wanting to take the necessary steps to get healthy as I embark on a long path ahead. I'm very active in the community; I've started many programs on my own at school and in the community area, and I've been a tutor for many science classes for about 4 years now. I have a strong passion for helping and educating others, so I hope to be able to learn a lot through this whole experience and teach it to others (especially since I'm going into the health profession!!).
I have gone on diets for a couple weeks, on and off... and can never seem to stay on it. I lose about 8 pounds, and say "oh this is easy, I can lose weight whenever I want", even though I KNOW this isn't the case. But I'm serious more than ever, and I'm ready to make a true commitment to this!!
I plan on spending a lot of time scouring for good ideas on these forums, and I hope in the process I get to meet some of ya'll!
Sorry for rambling... I do that sometimes... lol
