Hello,
My name is Neil. Don't ask about the screen name, because as much as I would like to tell you where it came from, I simply have no Idea. I made it up in high school and have used it ever since.
I am from Florida and like so many of you am struggling with weight. I am 25 6' 288 lbs right now and wear size 42 pants. I just finished the police academy where I lost 13 lbs from when I started. That was all PT too, as I still ate awful. I also noticed that I struggled in PT, not because I was tired, but because my legs hurt from carrying around so much weight. Lets face it, I didn't get this way by running all the time. lol
My goal weight is somewhere around 200 as I have a very large frame and am not sure if any less than that is possible. I would like to get into 36 pants also, but a loose 38 would be nice too. Last year I went to Transformations Medical Weightloss. I lost 40 lbs but have gained it all back. While they provide a plan of HCG injections, appetite suppressants, and a strict 800 calorie diet that definitely works, it goes to hell the first time you have a real meal after your cycle. I was down to 245 lbs.
This time I have decided to make a complete lifestyle change, not something that will knock the pounds off quick but something that will knock them off and keep them off. I have adopted for the past few days a 5-meal diet that is healthy, but more than the Transformations diet.
I am glad I found this site. I have looked through most of the before and after pages already and they are a true inspiration. I took pics yesterday and as soon as I se some results I will post there also. I look forward to talking with you all more as we proceed on our various weight loss journeys. Sorry it was so long.

. I think the motivation on here will be great. As I sit here and sip my Crystal Light and know that I have not been craving any sweets today, at all... I know that you too can do it. Take care and keep up the good work!!
