Hi everyone. I weighed in this morning at 197lb and at 5ft 2in it's the heaviest I have ever been. I am 64 years old and find it increasingly harder by the day to lose weight so I am hoping you good people will help me get there. I need to do it by November so plenty of time I hope. Talk to you all soon.  Fatty.:thumbsup:

Hello and welcome,

I see you joined the challenge. That's great!

It's also great that you don't have an unrealistic goal of trying to lose your weight overnight. People spend lifetimes putting it on (and building the bad habits that put it there) and then try to lose it quickly, get discouraged, quit, and put on more weight.

Please let me know when you lose a pound or two and let's give you a more positive username to celebrate your progress!

Best wishes,

Peter:monkey:

Hi there,  I wanted to add my welcome and encouragement to you.  You will find a lot of help here.  I agree with Peter that you should have a more positive username.  I wanted to welcome you by name but am not going to call anyone "fatty". 

You know we spend so much time putting ourselves down that it is just exhausting and self defeating.  I'm probably one of the heaviest people here but I refuse to give up.  We can only live today and we have to make the choice whether to make it a good day or not.

I choose good, what about you?

Stick with us!
