Hello to all! I'm new here, and I was wondering how you got your start on this journey.
I've been overweight all my life it seems, and like most people, my weight has crept up every year. I remember telling myself years ago that I would never get past 200lbs, but here I am at 235.
I used to think that I wanted to lose weight to "look good" or fit into some magical size clothing. As I am almost 37, I now realize I want to lose weight to be healthy. I'm terrified of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, etc... I'm tired of feeling bad.
I'm having a full checkup on Tuesday with blood workups, and hopefully all will be OK.
I have a treadmill gathering dust in the basement.
So, how do you start? Just one day at a time? Set goals for exercise and go from there? Did you have a wake up call?
Thanks!
