Hello! Noob alert. I found this website while randomly browsing and it seemed like a friendly and fun place to start with this lifestyle change of mine. I have always been a chubby child for as long as I can remember. It never really bothered me much until I had to go buy clothes and would find the surprise that I was a size bigger.. grrr.
Health class and PE was always a problem too. But for a hefty girl like myself, I have pretty good self-esteem. Never afraid to flaunt around doing all them stuff skinny people do so easily.~
Recently, I fell and hurt my knee badly. Usually I can handle pain really well. But it was too much to handle and decided to go to the hospital and get it checked out. The doctor had me get some xrays done and yaddayadda (Insert the You'reOverWeight scolding doctor rant here) and long story short, I had no fracture but he told me my knees were deteriorating slowly. A case you usually see in old folks but it's happening to me at the early age of 18 because of my weight. He also said that if I didn't submit myself to a diet I would have to get surgery for FAKE KNEES. Ahhhh!
I don't want this to happen. So, I decided to start my diet and exercise. I weighed myself and I'm at a scary 278lbs. I want to go down at least to 140. That means I have to lose 138lbs! It's rather hard as well because no one seems to support me or even believe that I'll actually go through it. Not even my friends believe it lol. It's a long road a head of me filled with wheat, fatfree, sweat and manymany tears. But I'm game. Wish me luck! Also, any tips?
