So I recently went to to doctor for some blood work and he put it straight, I'm 20 years old and over 250 pounds.

I know this. It's a simple fact, though, the way he said it kind of hammered it into my head. Everyone tried sugar coating (har har) the fact that I am morbidly obese. I think I just needed someone to smack me with the cold truth to get it through to me.

I am in desperate need of a lifestyle change.

My doctor visit was because I thought I might be pregnant but, my doctor told me that if I don't lose any weight odds are, I will become infertile, possibly have other health problems and even die by the time I am 30 to 45 years old if I continue living like this.

Hearing that hurts, but I'm sure I don't need to tell you lot that and, that's why I'm here. I need support from other like-minded individuals.


So, here I am ready to jump start my new life.

Good for having a doctor who had the balls to be honest.. too many dont... and will just ignore the problem...

Hopefully they gave you some direction on what you should be doing next...

What advice did they give you? What suggestions did they make?

If they didn't make any - I strongly urge you to settle in and start reading the stickied threads - particularly in the nutrition, on topic and exercise forums - and after reading - ask questions...

Welcome to the forum - start yourself a diary -it's a good place to get support and advice -and read other's diaries as wel -ther are lots of people on similar journeys that yo're on - you are not alone in your challenges...
