Default Got myself a Ticker and everything

But since I can't post URLs yet, pretend this is my ticker:
  • Starting weight: 400.4lbs (182kgs)
  • Current weight: 400.5lbs (182kgs)
  • Goal weight: 176lbs (80kgs)
  • Height: 5' 8.5"
As you can see from it, I'm at the very beginning of my little journey, especially since I have never seen a number this high on my scale before.

I started a personal blog a couple weeks ago just to help me get a little perspective on my weight situation, then I got a bit lonely so I thought I'd look for some inspiration online and maybe even a little support.

It looks like I've come to the right place. I'm excited.. and intrigued by the sheer number of people here who are tackling and winning the same challenge I face.

My turn now.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I heard this from a movie last night:

It's not possible fail if you never give up.

Don't know if I quoted that right, but it's my new personal mantra.

Cheers everyone!

Welcome aboard! I'm so glad you have joined us. If you tell me what plan you are thinking of following, maybe I can suggest some places on the forum that you might find great support. We also have a 300+ group for people weighing more than 300 pounds, plus a 100 Pound club for those wanting to lose more than 100 pounds. But you can go anywhere you please. Just jump right in!
