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, glad to have you join us! Since Chicks can be overwhelming at first, I suggest you look for a Support group, Chat, or Challenge to join. Small groups of friends to help keep you motivated and make it easier to get connected. Find one you like that fits your needs, or inspires you, and just post to join.
