Hi, Weight Loss Forum!: :waving:

My goal is to lose over 200lbs by diet and exercise only, NO PILLS OR SURGERY!

I am here to hone my knowledge of fitness and weight loss.

I also hope to incorporate the knowledge and ideas from people on the forum who has been successful in the fight to reach and maintain a healthy weight.

I am looking forward to sharing knowledge and ideas with those of you that are fighting the battle of OBESITY.

Thanks for having me here!

Hi Mr. Meltdown,

Congrats on your start and welcome to the forum. :)

I agree about no pills or surgery. Neither of these options teaches me about how to treat food.

You should browse around the forums, start a journal, and participate a bit. I look forward to getting to know you more. :)

Thanks so much for the warm welcome!!!

I plan to cut my calories down to about 3000 a day and lower my salt intake and fire all sugar products and soda.

I am also looking into resistance training as I just put together my own home gym. :)

How are you brazenlysasse?

It is so cool of you to give me a warm welcome! I am feeling warm and fuzy right now from you guys being so cool to me. (MY HAPPY FACE) ---> :)

Yes I think that so many people use surgery and gimicks to avoid a little hard work.

I feel if I want to be fit for life then changing my life is the only way. How do you guys feel about that?
 
Hey there =) I feel the same as you do, I am not going to take any pills aside from vitamins and no surgery! I am currently at 295, the heaviest I've been and it's taking a huge toll on my life. I want to be healthier for my kids and for myself. I feel so uncomfortable going anywhere, I don't feel like I can be myself, I'm always self concious about the way I look and feel. I used to be so skinny when I was a teenager, I don't know how I let this happen, but I want it to change now! Anyone interested in being buddies, giving eachother support or anything? I have a lot to lose and know the inspiration from others will definitely help along the way. Right now I've been trying to read up on things and research what's the best to do but there is soo much different information out there it's very overwhelming and I feel almost lost. Goodluck to you anyway, sorry for rambling :p

Hi Arienna,

Please ramble on my friend! That is why we joined this forum to make friends and get support.

I am for one just as Self conscious about my weight as the next man but we can’t stop living.

We work on our jobs just as hard as skinny people and we pay taxes.

So I have to say we just have to set things aside and live right?

Life is so short and I never take it for granted. The one thing that makes me most happy is that I am trying to lose weight for me.

That really important when you start any life change I think.

I love myself enough to give my life extra years on this beautiful planet we call Earth.

I think we are all beautiful no matter what size shape or form we come in. Are you guys feeling me on that?
 
I love the positivity! That's key in successful weight loss! You are definitely on the right track by throwing out the sugar and sodas! It's shocking how many calories are eliminated daily by just making those changes alone!

Hey Arienna!

Wuz up? Why can't you say that about yourself? It is inspirational that you are here and part of the team!

Look in the mirror and smile! We are in this together and together we will win! :coolgleamA:
 
Just lots of time being put down and what not by my ex. When I met him I was about 115 lbs...just going through a huge depression from everything and then I finally got rid of him and now I just need to get rid of all this extra weight so maybe I can feel good enough to try and meet someone new :p
 
heya mr meltdown,
welcome to the forum!, there's lots of us here on the same journey. i started at 350pounds and now at 320pounds....hoping to keep going for a looong time untill i reach my goal weight. i want to be happy and healthy, and wish the same for all on this forum. all the best on your journey xoxo.
 
I think it's so refreshing to hear how positive you are about the changes you are making. To me, that takes a big chunk of the work , out of the equation. You can focus more on the changes and less on the emotional upheaval of it all. I am truly working towards loving myself, throughout all of my progress, Im not waiting until i get to a certain size. Its hard...lol.. but im trying.

That made me so happy. You can do it... and your energy will probably help a lot of other people do it, too :) Don't let anything stop you.

Thanks, I am really just to putting fitness first in my life now. I have to admit that there was a time when I use to be a slave to this clown guy who had me hooked on burgers.

But NO MORE!!! I am hooked on life and that is my priority now.

It is all about living and being happy and if I can take some people with me to Happy Land then it makes my trip that much better!

I just want to know how many of you guys are with me?

I am on my way to a place called happiness!

The best part is it will only cost me 200lbs of a little hard work. That is not asking much is it? :)
