Hi everyone... I'm 29 and married. I'm 6'1", and in January 2010 I was 322. As of today I'm 247 - putting me at exactly 75 pounds down, and wearing about a size 20 down from a 30. I've been fat my entire life. When I was 16 and got my drivers license I told them I was 210, but I was 230... it's never been true and I don't remember what or when I was last under 230.

My goal is 175, but I have several mini goals along the way. 230 is the next one. That's my weight from age 16, and at 230 I have a friend that's going to give me a motorcycle ride. After that it will be 222... that will be the 100 pound mark. So on, and so forth.

This is something I honestly never thought I could do, and the fact that I'm doing it is still catching up with me. Sometimes I feel like I've made it all up, and I have to actually do something like put on some old clothes and see how they hang to remember that this is for real.

I still have days where I feel so proud of what I've done and what I'm doing, and I have other days where I feel like it's just stupid/not a big deal/makes no difference....

I've been keeping a blog for the past month (give or take, I'm not sure) and I'm being as honest as I can be about my journey with this. I'm really looking to meet some more people experiencing similar things, especially people having trouble with their head catching up to the loss and changes!

Wow! Congrats on the weight loss already! What have you been doing so far? I love your goal with the motorcycle ride! :]

Welcome. I'm new the forum myself and your story in very inpiring to me. Congrats and keep up the great work.

I can't begin to tell you how inspired I am by your story. Congratulations on your loss so far. Just from that introduction I have absolute faith that you'll get to your goal.

Good Luck (though you really don't need it!)

Thank you, ladies. I appreciate the congrats and feedback. I had a dream last night about eating a big fat sandwhich (I'm low carb) and it was pretty funny to wake up thinking about how good the bread tasted.. :)

Good luck to all of you as well, we can all do this!
