Hey, I'm brand-new here. I just turned 25, and I've been a big dude my entire life. Last month, my first niece was born, and I'm using this as a source of motivation to lose weight--I want my niece to have an uncle that she can be proud of.
I'm about a month into a healthier lifestyle, and it's treating me well so far. However, I feel that all of my past weight loss efforts ended prematurely largely because of a lack of continued support (not that my friends and family didn't support me, but I feel that once the novelty of my weight loss plan wore off, they lost interest). So one thing I am trying to do differently this time is to find a community of like-minded people to share accountability and support.
35 pounds down, 140 to go!
