The reality of so many people struggling with weight loss in Alabama alone is staggering.
And the prospect of who-knows-how-many of those people using this forum for support lets me know that I've got a place among them.
I've been overweight for my entire life, thus far, but I've managed to make some real progress lately. I weighed 200 pounds at age sixteen. Five years later, I'm finally enrolled in a university-based program that introduced me to routine exercise using heart rate monitors.
Here's to hoping that we can all keep taking steps toward a healthy existence!
