Hi everyone! I'm new here although I have lost a lot of weight one other time in my life. I was in my early 20s then and now I just turned 31 in May so I think I might need a lot of support this time
I'm tired of feeling unhealthy and out of shape, and of being tired all the time even without doing very much during the day. I want to feel energetic and young, especially now that I've hit my 30s! I'm also worried that if I don't change my lifestyle now I'll suffer from health problems as the years go on.
I weighed myself just before my birthday and was 277 lbs, which was a shocker... and puts me at the morbidly obese category, which is terrifying. I began trying to eat better in the week after my birthday and in the past couple weeks I've tried to slowly incorporate some exercise with some old aerobic videos. Last week I bought a used stationery bike and now I'm determined to spend time on it everyday!
My current goal right now is just to lose 10-20 lbs and feel like I have more energy so I can begin thinking about going for walks outside or going to the gym. As it is, I feel extremely self-conscious about the way I look and how easily I get so tired... but I'm really looking forward to getting stronger and lighter and feeling more comfortable in my own skin!
Thanks everyone for reading this and I wish you all the best of luck on your own fitness goals!
