Hi everyone, I'm new here and have been reading tons of info on this site for a couple of days now. I have looked at all before, in between, and after pics and must say ya'll are an inspiration to me. I see all the progress you've made and it brings tears to my eyes.

So what's my story? Well been overweight pretty much all my life, was always the fat girl in school and picked on so I've basically become a loner. A few years ago I was in 14's and somewhat comfortable but since then have become disabled, I no longer work so I have gained about 50 lbs. I'm 250 lbs now and just fed up. Not only with the way I look but the way I feel, I've become so very lazy and lonely as well. I have sleep apnea and borderline hypertension. Right now I just have no motivation whatsoever. Sure I've changed my eating habits and I'm now drinking tons of water which I know have made a bit of a difference in the last week.

Why am I here? I need support ya'll! In a very bad way. yeah I have a great hubby and wonderful daughter but they don't know how to support me. Ok well I could go on and on with the excuses I have made up for myself but that isn't going to solve anything at all. Sorry this is so long.
 
welcome to the site :D

you'll find lots of inspration and motivation here, everyone tries to help and push each other with is a great help mechanism i find.

Try get involved in some of the challenges on the website, like the september 2lbs a week challenge. Its great getting involved in something like that with others :)
 
My Mom became disabled a few years ago. Since then her weight has been a rollercoster. I know it's hard to get motivated, but you sound very serious. I know you can do it.

Good luck! :D
 
Your doctor may know what exercises are safe for you to do. Also try setting mini-goals so that the number to lose looks less daunting. My minigoal is to be under 200lbs by Thanksgiving, for instance.
You'll find lots of support on here.
Good luck! You can do it!
