New to Forum - Hello All !

Hi All,

My name is David and I've never posted to a site like this before but I felt it was time as Im looking for people who understand what I am going through. Anyhow, i have struggled with my weight most of my life and balooned to a high of 350 LBS back in June, At the point i made the decision that i needed to do something. I decided to dedicate myself to the gym ( 5 days a week), watch what I eat, and overall just change my lifestyle. It was a decision I made not only for myself but for my newborn son. Today I am at 271 LBS and while my journey is far from over it feels great and I am just looking for some people to share my stories with and get advice from along the way.

Thanks

Congratulations on your loss so far! Sounds like you're doing great!

If you're looking for an outlet to share your experiences and stories, I suggest starting a diary thread in the Weight Loss Diary section of the forums. It will help hold you accountable, let others comment on your progress and offer advice, and inspire others to continue on their journeys.

Best wishes and I hope you find what you're looking for in the community here

You are indeed doing great.

I agree - start a diary - and visit one or two successful weight losers and see what they are doing. We all need to change things about a bit from time to time to keep the weight loss happening and it helps to know the things that other people do and why.

Challenges can help too.

wow, congrats on the weightloss so far! very motivating (considering i'm in the 300club)...i'd suggest starting a forum diary which is great for giving/receiving encouragement. all the best as you go on to your goal weight.
