Hey all,
I am new to the forum and thought I would say hello. Just a little about myself - At the end of 2008 I had gotten up to 320 lbs and have gone up and down in weight for as long as I can remember.
There is a whole lot more to the story of how I did it, but as of today I am 195 lbs. My original goal back in late 2008 was to lose 100 lbs and get back into "fighting" shape. Years of sitting at a desk, kids, etc. really packed on the pounds (actually I shouldn't blame work and kids! it's all my own fault).
I continue to maintain the weight and have made a true lifestyle change. I never have been on weight loss forums before, so I am kind of coming here after the fact. My intention is really to help anyone with their weight loss journey since I have been through it and can hopefully help.
I did actually write a short e-book on the psychological methods I used to lose the weight, but understand I can't post links in the forum or in my signature, so I won't in fear of getting banned as spam!
So, hopefully I can help some people. I am living proof that it can be done, just keep focused on what you really want and keep on keepin on!
Thanks,
Mat
