Hi Everyone! I am new and am 5'9 275 lbs. I have batled weight since my teens. I have lost before but am really motivated to change my life. My love interest loves me just the way I am and I think I have finally realized that it's time for me to comitt to myself. I eat when I am happy, sad and just to taste the food. This time though my motivation and comittment to helping myself become healtier is so strong. I know I need support so I am looking to all for help. I did not put a goal weight or ending weight right now, for good reason. I am taking it one step. The first thing I am going to do is eat healthier. I will excercise 1/2 hour everyday if even just to walk the dog. I want to be ten lbs lighter by March 1st. I know it's obtainable. I just need to get my big butt moving. Thank you for providing a great place to meet those like me....Thank you!
