New Newb
Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a good while now reading and learning etc, thought I might have a bit to add to some of the discussions, so here I am.
As the username would suggest, I'm not exactly a "chick" per-se but I am, however, in need of support, like minded people, and some big weight loss.
For the record I'm 25 years old and stand about 6'4". My weight is in the 270 department and has been for a good while. I'm an active duty member of the Air Force stationed at Langley AFB in Virginia.
I'm under the gun in a major way to get the weight off and get back into good physical condition. If I don't, I risk losing my job and career, so that in and of itself is a motivator (or a terrifier, depending on how you look at it).
To make a long story short, after being terrified for a year or so of getting the boot from the USAF, and making no forward progress, (scared to point of inactivity, hoping it would all just go away...) it's come time to move it or lose it. Since losing weight is less pleasant than gaining it, and misery loves company, here I am.
