I am 34 yrs. old and weigh 398 lbs. I am 5'11" tall so I am very large on all accounts. My 12 yr. old son is 5'7" tall and weighs 216 lbs. Neither of us is active AT ALL! Our diets are terrible, I drink TONS of diet soda...and he drinks TONS of sugar laden drinks. We are committing right now, to stop this insanity!!! We will no longer allow food to control us. We are taking control of our bodies and our bodies will learn to love the things that love our bodies such as normal portion sizes, water...water...water, healthy snacks, unprocessed foods/drinks. We are committing right now to at least 30 min. of wii fit per day, which is a lot considering neither of us normally does any type of exercise aside from opening the fridge a million times a day. We do not put blame on anything other than our own lack of control/will power. We are both healthy, and have no health issues due to our weight....yet! We are in this together, and we will be successfull together! I look forward to getting to know you all!

Tina and Jonathan, welcome, glad to have you join us. How wonderful that you two decided to do this together. 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 around specific diets plans, themes, or age groups, so find one that inspires you and just post to join! Be sure to check out the 30-somethings

Welcome Thalstead. I would also like to suggest the 300+ thread, just because sometimes it's nice to be able to talk to others who have more than 30 pounds to lose!
