Default Hi everyone

Hi all
Just wanted to introduce myself. My journey toward weight loss was somewhat unconventional. I've been fat my entire life and never thought weight loss was a realistic option for me.

This past spring I became a vegetarian, moved away from my mother's house (thus putting me in control of what I eat) and started working on a farm (which is physically demanding to say the least). That was when I started to lose weight. Within a month I had lost 15 pounds. This blew my mind. I honestly never thought I could actually lose weight. Now that I've discovered that I can in fact lose weight, I'm now motivated to get down to a healthy weight.

Although I'm still obese, I've noticed a lot of big changes in the way that I look and feel. Sometimes I don't know how to cope. That's why I joined this forum. I want to be able to talk about these changes and fears with a support group that understands what it's like. Well anyway, I hope to contribute to the community in a positive way.
