Welcome to my journal(diary is to girly)

Well I've decided today that it's time to get serious about losing the rest of my weight. About two years ago I decided to make a lifestyle change, at the time I was 293. I got down to 226 but fell off the wagon and am now back up to 250.

Over the past couple of months of I've been in this haze of unhappiness. I'm not sure if I gained weight because of this or I was unhappy because I was gaining weight.

But no more!

I'm tired of being overweight

I'm tired of being self conscious

I'm sick of feeling invisible

I'm sick of putting losing weight off

and most of all I'm Sick and Tired of Feeling Sick and Tired!

....Wish me luck
 
Good luck Twonintythree - this is certainly the place to come to for some support and cheering on!

Let us know what you are plannign to do and how its going :D
 
Welcome to the forum. There's a lot of support here so you have made the right choice.

What kind of changes are you going to make? What kind of exercises are you going to take? Would love to hear more.

Good luck!
 
Thanks for all the greetings!

So let me tell you a little about myself. I'm currently a sophomore in college, though summer break starts in 3 weeks. During summer I'll be working full time at an equity derivatives firm as an application developer.

Sooo I've been overweight my entire life. A little more than a year and a half ago I decided to get serious and for the most part I was successful. In a year I lost 67LBS, but over the past 8 months I've gained back 24LBS.

My 21st Birthday is comming up at the end of August and I'd really like to be under 220 for that. Hopefully by the time schools starts in the fall I'll be at my goal weight.

I plan to run at least 3 miles a day, while eating no more than 1500 calories. I am considering getting a gym membership so I can do some weight training but don't know if I'd be comfortable working out in public. For the most part I'll be running at home on my treadmill.
 
So here I am on Day 3 of my hopefully final attempt to get down under 200 LBS. Everything has been going pretty good so far, I haven't gone over 1500 calories and have been getting my workouts in.

This morning I weight in at 247, which down 3 pounds from 250!:hurray:

I have work tomorrow from 7am to 6pm, I'll try to get a run in afterward. Hopefully I can keep this momentum going through out the weekend.
 
Half way there!!

You've lost a lot of weight in one year, that's amazing!! you're truly inspiring.

Don't worry about falling of the wagon, we are human and tend to make mistakes. As babies we had to fall on our tush hundreds of times before we could walk some what stable. It's part of life and bound to happen, the positive is that mistakes are learning experiences :)

Keep up the good work!:waving:
