so this is me today at 220 lbs. im so grossed out by my stomach i'm keeping the front view private lol but this gives an idea of how and where i carry my weight.

i'm going to post a pic each month so that way changes will hopefully be more noticeable.


p.s i meant to say START of my journey in the title but i type too fast so my fingers often miss keys lol
 
Hey, no worries! You are being very brave by posting this anyway! Kudos to you! I'm too scared to post a front view, myself. I just use my side profiles, but because we've got something we've got that ounce of courage to begin our journeys!

Quick few questions: What are you going to do to lose weight? Do you intend on changing your diet drastically? Do you promise to update!!?

well i have a real problem with forgetting to eat then binging on bad stuff so im going to try plan my meals thoroughly and eat at the right times.

I'm also going to continue my gym routine which is 4-5 days a week, but im going to add some weights into it because i never did that before.

The main DRASTIC change to my diet will be controlling my binging, because when i get bored my brain says food. so im going to keep some ice water in the fringe and some gum on hand incase of boredom.

Yes i promise to update. i think my doing this forum thing it will give me extra motivation and encouragement that i need to succeed, plus i really enjoy talking to people in the same boat as me and seeing as all my friends are skinny i can't do that in my day to day life.

I'm really ready to change my lifestyle and eating habits for good.
 
Good luck!! I think its a big step for you posting a picture on here. It shows that you have confidence! We are all here to help you! Cant wait to see the next pictures!!!

:hurray:
 
Congrats to you on taking the plunge and posting your pics, sharing your weaknesses, and your goals!

You may have now just brought me one step closer to sharing my own pics.

I look forward to following you along your journey - keep us posted!

Good Luck!!!!
 
:waving:Hi Snookums! Welcome to your WL journal - and the start of a healthier life.

In addition to cutting out binging, might I suggest that you do a little bit of research regarding how many calories you need to be consuming daily in order to lose weight. FitDay seems to be a good site on the WWW for info in that regard.

Dr. Phil (yeah, he's my buddy) says that, in the end it isn't about willpower - IT IS ABOUT HAVING A PLAN AND STICKING TO IT! I think he's right.

Best wishes on your journey. You can do this, and you will feel amazing on the other side!

Cheers

Hi Snookums! :seeya: I love your screenname. :)

Congratulations for posting this picture. The first step is always the hardest, but if you have a plan in mind and motivation to guide you, you will be looking great in no time. I am a newbie here too and when I made my first step toward my goal people were saying:"You will be so happy you did this for yourself". They were so right!

Don't forget, you cannot explore the ocean if you are standing on the shore :) So great job for doing this. See you around!
 
yeah i used to have fitday but i would always forget to post and when i did forget it missed up the weeks calculations.

I'm aiming to intake about 1500 calories a day. I have the motivation to do it, yet when i mess up even the smallest mistake i get so depressed and can't seem to stay on track. That's my biggest hurdle, im going to read around and see how people just keep moving on :)
 
Hows it going ? Update please ? We have the same body type and I started where you were And am now at 170 and still going you can do it too
 
I wish you the best of luck on your weightloss journey!! You can def. do it!!...you'll be a smokin' hottie in no time!! :)
