I'll just copy and paste my introduction here, to remind myself of my dedication that I have right now. 
=====My intro thread=====
Hi everyone,
My name is Mikey, and I'm tired of feeling so unhealthy. I've been overweight for as long as I can remember. But it's time to make a change. It's time to get healthy!
Right now, I'm 19 years old, and I weigh somewhere between 320 and 340 lbs. It's hard for me to even write this post out, because I always try to act like it's not a big deal. I've tried losing weight before, only to give up within days.
I'm hoping however, that this time having what I didn't have last time will help me stick with it.
Support.
I always try to avoid it, but today I had a conversation with my mom after I found this website (i live at home, lame right? haha.) and I'm really hoping that with my family behind me, and this forum for addtional support, that I can really get over this hurdle in my life.
It's not only embarassing, but it's also dangerous and unhealthy. I need to fix this problem. I know it won't happen overnight, but I have to start somewhere.
Whenever I have a day like this one, where I want to change myself, I pretty much abandon all hope the next day. I'm hoping that I can get some advice so that I can start out small tomorrow morning (even though it's late at night and I might not get any, haha.) I guess I'll go start my journal now, cause I'm starting to ramble a little too much for an introduction thread. Hope to see you there. :3

Well, there it is. Here are some things I wanted to start in the morning.
NO MORE SODA. Lots of empty calories, yuck.
GET A SCALE. Even though it will be hard to see/post that number here, I'll do it tomorrow and update you guys on my starting weight.
TAKE A STARTING PIC. I won't post it here on the first night, because, like many people, I'm too embarassed of myself. Maybe I'll post it later on if I lose some weight.
=====
That's all I have for now. Here's what I was planning on trying to eat tomorrow:
Breakfast: Oatmeal or cheerioes.
Lunch: A turkey sandwich on wheat bread. Maybe some mustard, and some salad too.
some mid-day snack: some fruit, and apple or something, something classy ;D
Dinner: chicken breast, and some veggies. Maybe something with that, I don't know. (advice maybe?)
WATER WATER WATER. 8 GLASSES! >=U STOP DRINKING SODA FOOL =D and 1 glass of 2% milk.
advice on if that's too much or too little food (I'm guessing its too little) would be nice.
I'm also gonna try to go for a walk or something tomorrow, something small. I don't want to jump into everything super fast, I've heard that taking it all on at once isn't a great idea.
Again, pointers are welcome, I hope this works out.
P.S. I like smileys! >;D :3 8DK >=U
AND OH YEAH! the first step I'm taking is to get on a sleep schedule. I usually stay up 'til 2 or 3, I'm gonna try to start sleeping from 12-8:30. so YAY FOR STARTING TONIGHT! FIRST STEP WOOT! :F
