Hi everyone!
My name is Jim (well, that's my nickname, anyway). I just joined this forum today, but after being a lurker for some time.
Basically what happened is, we had a short bout of cold weather, so I got out my fall/winter clothing and realized I cannot wear ANY of it! I could tell I'd gained some weight recently, but I guess I didn't realize how much...
I don't even have a scale or anything yet, but I'd guess I need to lose 30-40 pounds to get back to a healthy weight. I haven't really been at a healthy weight since the beginning of college, actually.
My problem is mainly "recreational eating." Seriously, I've made it into a leisure activity! If I have some free time, I'll go to the store and buy food and eat it, and that's my idea of a good time. Messed up, right? Other than that, I actually don't have terribly bad eating habits, and I get a fair amount of exercise walking around during the school day. So I think if I can cut out the fun eating, that alone should help me lose weight, really.
So, that's about it. I hope this forum will help me to stay on track with my endeavors!
