I'm 320lbs right now and would be happy to get down to the 275lb mark. I've been overweight all my life and haven't been 275 since high school and that was like 13 years ago. I don't know if it's realistic but I'll give myself 1 year to drop the 45lbs. Once I do that I'd be ecstatic if I could hit 250lbs.

I will commit at least an hour a day to working out or at the very least walking. I've already changed my diet and cut out the junk food after I found out I have diabetes. When I have more money I'll probably join a gym that is if I'm sure I wont be too big to use the equipment.

I really hope this site helps me stay motivated as I have no friends in "real life" mostly because my weight problems have created bad self esteem issues. I've seen people on shows like the biggest loser lose more weight than I'm looking to so I know it's possible I just need to get to work and actually do it.
 
Welcome to the forum :) It is great you started a journal for accountability and support
 
hi lonnie, and welcome to the forums. i think you'll find this place is full of support. it's really difficult to fight and win this battle against weight, but it's definitely possible. im still fighting and struggling, but i know i'll get there, and so will you.
 
Been working my butt off the last few days. I think part of my problem is I work from home on the computer all day so I need to find extra ways to stay active. I live in Arizona so it's hot outside right now but I decided to help my friend move today. He lived on the 2nd floor of an apartment complex and was moving into a house. I bet I lost 10lbs just from sweat today lol
 
hey girl,
i can totally identify with all the stuff you've said in your first diary post. i started at 350+ and now i'm around 315 and have been stuck there for almost two months now but fighting to get below 300 which is my first major goal which i also haven't been probably since my high school days.

i know what you mean about hardly having any real friends...i have 2 really good friends but they're both abroad which totally sucks because it's never the same as actually hanging out with them like i used to do when i was younger. the past couple of years i've been pushing people away out of my life the heavier i got. my birthday was like 3 weeks ago and i spent it alone, i almost couldn't believe it. this is why i'm on this journey, to get my life back, because i just have not been living. now that i gym every day and do my best to eat right and loosing weight (slowly but surely) i'm starting to get a little of my self confidence back, little by little and thats what keeps me strong and going on.

anywho, i didn't come on here to talk about me, i just wanted to say a big congrats on making the decision to start on a new lifestyle change and let you know your not alone...all the best on your journey hun, if we take things one day at a time we can do it. xoxo:seeya:

Hi Lonnie, Welcome to the forum, I can totally relate to your story and think that your goals are totally doable. I like how you are taking it in stages, that works best for me as well...one step at a time. ~ Michelle
 
Guess I did a little to much and passed out from the heat...I gotta find some more inside exercises and remember to drink more water. It's kinda funny how everybody needs water but when your overweight you don't like to drink it because it's boring...
 
Kinda lost my focus for awhile but time to get back at it...I really need to lose some weight...
