Hello everyone!

I am here to jump-start my weight loss and make some lifestyle changes with support of this group. I am inspired by the stories I have read on this site, and want to have a successful story of my own

I am in the software industry, and my job involves sitting in front of a PC for 10-12 hours. My only hobby is watching movies. And I love carbs. So I am at 245 pounds, BMI of 43.

My mini-goal is to have a BMI of less than 40, which at my height would mean a weight of less than 218. My goal is to also pick a hobby that involves some physical activity, like swimming.

I lost 30 pounds first half of 2010, and gained back all of it by end of 2010. My motivation has been a yo-yo. I hope this year is better.

Meg
