Default Hello!

Hi,

My name is Jon and I'm trying to get to my target before my wedding in May. I weighed myself in last August, for the first time after a couple of years of steady weight gain and a particularly binge-y 6-months, and found that I was at my heaviest ever of 280 lbs. My goal is to be within 200-220 lbs (college weight), and I got down to 245 by the end of November (even lost 3 lbs over Thanksgiving!) but I've since plateaued.

I'm not following any specific plan or method, just running (when I can, my job/commute takes about 12-14 hours out of the day) and watching my calories (no sodas, fast food, limiting sweets), but I'm having a hard time maintaining "diet discipline" when I'm hungry most of the time so I figured I'd reach out for some support and found this site.

Anyway, cheers, and wish me luck!

Jon

Jon, welcome, glad to have you join us. I suggest you look for a Challenge or Support group to join; small check-in groups make it easier to connect, get involved, and be accountable. We have groups centering arouns specific diets, themes, or age groups, find one that inspires you and just post to join!
